Conducting a live fire exercise over a civilian highway is fucking stupid.
It doesn’t really matter if I-5 fell within the minimum acceptable risk threshold for the exercise. Those standards are designed for controlled environments, not civilian highways.

Yes, we’re literally about to zero out funding for every Title VI area studies center at every university in the country, along with FLAS fellowship funding. A generation of human capital that feeds into our diplomatic & intelligence corps that will simply not exist. National security madness.
Another angle to this. They've defunded the university language programs their diplomatic corps come from or go to to upskill. They can't even build back this expertise in the future even if they want to.
Idiotic self-immolation of our diplomatic capacity. Possible, in part, because of how we constantly glorify our military in 🇺🇸 society on every holiday & every sports event, while we totally ignore our diplomatic corps & have a juvenile collective understanding of what makes 🇺🇸 powerful in the world.

Donald Trump has said that the growing immigration crackdown should include carveouts for the hospitality industry, which conveniently allows his companies to continue hiring foreign workers without fear of raids. The hypocrisy seems pretty stark.

There is simply not enough to say about how bad this is. Not only will we miss out on cures for infections & things like pancreatic cancer, the US will fall behind in science, tech, economy, and while other countries will take this over it will still be slowed/delayed.

This is so harmful. Scientists are developing mRNA-based cancer vaccines that could save so many lives.

Fewer districts for Black and Brown communities. More power for white Texans. It’s voter suppression by design, and it fuels voter apathy by making people feel like their voices don’t matter. That’s the point.
