Time to give Palantir the Tesla and Target treatment. Make it shameful to work there. Organize rallies at their offices.

About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark
It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy.
“It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

Trump and Vance showed the world that the US is untrustworthy. My guess is the GOP will fall behind them in lockstep.

There aren't shortcuts.
We build our communities.
We throw sand and sometimes shoes in the gears of fascism.
There will be a lot of short term battles, but that is how we win the war.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

We are now in an existential crisis for American science, 3 d into the new administration.
The proximal risk: without grant funding the biomedical economy collapses.
The lasting risk: American leadership in science falls. People leave science. Cures for cancer, Alzheimer’s, etc… are compromised.
