Charity lives in the Fascist States of America, Ph.D.

Way too many people genuinely think people are doing things to upset them in particular, like they’re the target of this random person’s life, and their behavior was meant to upset them specifically, which informs their reactions to be oh so upset at someone clearly experiencing a crisis.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

SHAME on the Wall Street journal for even posing this question.

NO. Trump is a maniacal, pedophilic idiot and the only thing we should be doing is CONDEMNING this horrible monster to PRISON.

Glad to see it’s back. Not glad to see the hyper-focus on AI. Really limits the kind of science that can be done when applicants are pigeonholed into using a developing technology.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

NSF building on Eisenhower Av. HUD now owns.

Destroying the NSF mural in the foyer. Of the Eisenhower building.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.

The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets.

We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

this is what's needed (& where everyone needs to be):

✅️ calls the killing "outright murder"

✅️ calls ice a "rouge agency"

✅️ supports its abolition

Dis mean I can has job now? 🥹

Formally prepared to send 2025 straight to hell.

Can confirm. I am okay and more motivated than ever to speak up.

Nothing scares this administration more. Their power lies in our silence.

I can think of a few people to smite

imagining a NSF PO handing a VC bro the stack of 10-to-15 proposals they'll have to be ready to discuss, then explaining that they'll be paid $600 for the three days of the panel meeting

Trump’s DOGE Is Dead and We Won’t Miss It RIP, Department of Government Efficiency.

DOGE was nothing short of a catastrophic failure, taking a wrecking ball to everything from cancer research to lifesaving humanitarian aid that will almost certainly lead to millions of preventable deaths.

The real fraud and waste is happening at the White House.

Dear BlueSky void,

The economy is garbage and many people are suffering. One such person is my sister, who on top of trying to afford law school in the Tr*mp age now has a medical emergency with her pup. If you would like to help, here is her GoFundMe. Ruthie is a sweet pup.

Same here. Half our income. Bills going late or partially-paid. My spouse still having to work (and work OVERTIME) for no money.

And we were happy to muddle through, because the cause was worth it.

Absolutely disgusted with Senate Dems.

So like, is anyone gonna talk about how this is a violation of the hatch act? www.usda.gov has the worst banner I’ve seen yet.
