The demands placed on Harvard by the Trump administration are internally contradictory, @chatterton.bsky.social writes. Their confrontation with the university is “a crusade for so-called freedom that is completely destructive of liberty and independence.”

And @booker.senate.gov has overwritten Thurmond’s record with 25 hours-plus of arguments for righteous causes. At one point he pleaded for checks and balances, science to compete with China, and research to help your relative with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. All in just 3 minutes, give or take.
Booker's team just told MSNBC they’ve gotten 14,000 voicemails from people supporting Cory’s filibuster and sharing their stories—and another 280 million people have liked his speech on TikTok alone.
A masterclass in capturing attention.
Well done.

Everything Musk oversees stays together for a while, but falls apart over time: Cybertrucks, SpaceX rockets, Twitter... It's only a matter of time before we see a rapid unscheduled disassembly of the Trump regime. We just have to keep pulling back the facade until it falls apart, too.

Moynihan: Erasing the stories of women, LGBTQ people, Hispanics, Asian Americans or Black people "is not a return to some bygone era of color-blind merit, but of blindness to the contribution of anyone who did not fit Trump’s whitewashed vision of America." 2/2

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.
