The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

The “A” in DEIA stands for accessibility. Federal workers with disabilities, including many veterans, deserve respect and the opportunity to work in public service. A diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplace makes public service better and makes everyone’s lives better.

i mocked my child in a goofy voice, like "oohh i'm eight and i have to go to school tomorrow" and he replied--instantly, without a second's pause for the years i've spent raising him, feeding and clothing him etc-- "i'm mama and i have a small but not invisible mustache"

I just discovered a handy feature on something that I’ve owned for a while which was probably clearly explained in the instructions I didn’t read.

I will learn nothing from this.

I’m just gonna say this and be over with it, but when ACTUAL GERMANS are telling you “it is EXACTLY what you think it is”, believe that shit.

Idc what MSM says or how they try to spin it. It is exactly what it is.

A N**i salute.

Why did Trump declare a national energy emergency? Simply put, Trump’s declaration aims to accelerate fossil fuel projects on public lands and roll back environmental protections.

A female meteorologist was fired for accurately describing a Nazi salute, and a female pastor was threatened with deportation (despite being an American) for leading a service about having compassion for our fellow man.

The bully pulpit broligarchy effect.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Hold the fuck on — Donald Trump spent 4 years saying “infrastructure week” was coming and it never came, and then Joe Biden actually got it done, and then Trump got back into office and immediately paused spending on… wait for it…

INFRASTRUCTURE!

Are you fucking kidding me?!
