Fully entered a state of madness by the time I finished this essay, on the remarkable intellectual (and political) failures of New Atheism, and a new anthology edited by Lawrence Krauss nymag.com/intelligence...
How the New Atheists Joined the MAHA War on Science
A new anthology showcases the intellectual failures of a diminishing brand.

Julia no ha muerto, Julia resiste,
Aunque el poder la borre y la embiste.
Cerro y viento guardan su paso,
Pero el Estado no mueve ni un brazo.
Fuego en la tierra, sangre en la raiz
Julia resiste, no va a morir
Fuego en la tierra, rabia y puñal
Contra el estado, Lucha ancestral!
Aunque el poder la borre y la embiste.

Jobs are being pulled out from under career federal employees so that the threat of poverty will entice them into becoming brownshirts.
FEMA, air marshals, museum educators, meteorologists, cybersecurity specialists - all are being asked to uphold the system or be victim to it. #ice #immigration
