The Trump administration has lost more than 10,000 PhD level scientists since it began. The anti-science perspective of this administration means that we are hollowing out not just the present but the future of scientific advancement in the nation.

Indonesian stock exchange CEO resigns after $84 billion market wipe out The rout was triggered by an announcement on Tuesday by index provider MSCI, warning of a potential downgrade of the country to "frontier" market status.

WHO'S NEXT?

First the Indonesian stock market, takes a multi-billion dollar hit, who's going to follow?

Keep ignoring Trump, he's going to bring this wreckage right to our shores.

How to dis-enshittify the world, with Cory Doctorow A chat with the SF writer, activist, and author about his world-conquering coinage and how workers can take back the internet.

Chatbots can write code but they cannot do software engineering.

Writing code and understanding the process are two entirely different things and have two entirely different goals.

One you can do the chatbot the other you never will.

You don't fire people over this.

There should never be a time when a sitting American president should be able to sue ANYONE for ANY REASON.

While they are a servant of the people, the only agendas they should be furthering is the future of the nation they are leading.

This idea that Trump can sue his way to wealth IS WRONG.

If you're not alarmed, you're not paying attention!

ICE is torturing & brutalizing children!

They're murdering people on the streets!

They are surveilling us & putting us in databases for speaking out.

They're raiding & seizing our voter information!

No one is saying that every American must understand the justice system.

That would be ideal, but it's impractical.

The problem is that our justice system lies at the center of our politicsโ€”which means ignorance about how it works is ripe for abuse by an authoritarian regime.

It cannot be sufficiently emphasized that the Trump regime has at all points lied about every aspect of its immigration agenda, every aspect of how immigration enforcement works, and every aspect of the criminal justice system that touches upon immigration enforcement.

It is all a long con.

Trump Border Czar Tom Homan Told 20 Lies in the First 240 Seconds of His First Minneapolis Press Conference Members of Congress are for some reason lauding a presentation by a top immigration official that was littered with lies about the criminal justice system, ICE, citizen protesters and the Democrats.

Iโ€™ve written a detailed report on the Greg Bovino-to-Tom Homan handover in Minneapolis that at once reveals that the Trump regime hasnโ€™t changed its plans for ICE *and* serves as a primer on the many aspects of the criminal justice system that Homan lied about today. So I think youโ€™ll enjoy this.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.

It ainโ€™t about deporting citizens; itโ€™s about terrorizing a whole population.

WHAT WILL #ICE DO NEXT?
More atrocities. Faster. More brutal.

Because they didn't get the reaction they wanted. Grannies in Minnesota beat their asses.

To build their flagging morale, they will need to cause more harm to justify their existence to #HOMAN.

#StephenMiller demands it (quietly).

Trump has mocked the Supreme Court, the judicial system, Congress, both the House and the Senate.

His cabinet has made the entire nation less safe than we have been in 100 years in every aspect of our society.

He will walk away a billion dollars richer and his cabinet won't spend a day in jail.

America has a nasty habit of rewarding cruel white men for engaging in atrocities and subsequently allowing them to escape unscathed.

See: Civil War Reparations for white slaveowners. Slaves couldn't get 40 acres and a mule but slave owners got reparations & Confederate secessionists went unhung.

Don't waste my time talking about how we can coordinate their work schedules and have someone deconstruct those images until we determine who was there.

They lost an entire site's information rather than hold them accountable.

No one will want to spend the time or effort to make it a reality.

Enjoying those videos of #ICE committing scandalous acts?

ICE will lose and redact information for these masked atrocities and will NEVER be accounted for.

Ever.

THIS LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY is why ICE must be destroyed and never be allowed to be faceless again.

DESTROY DHS/ICE completely.

New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

BREAKING: Republican lawmakers unveil the Make Elections Great Again Act โ€” a new bill that would impose the most extreme federal voting restrictions in history.

The measure would go beyond the SAVE Act by imposing strict voter ID to vote, mandating voter roll purges, banning mail voting and more.

After reconstruction, the "Tip Economy" was created as trap designed to keep Black workers desperate and dependent on white benevolence.

But Black service workers flipped the script. They turned "The Service" into an art.

#Measles has a basic #reproduction #number (Rโ‚€) estimated to be between 12 and 18, meaning that, in a completely susceptible population, one infected person can transmit the virus to 12 to 18 others on average. This high Rโ‚€ makes measles one of the most contagious diseases known.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
