Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

Excellent description of today's MAGA-Republican Party. They're not capable of empathy or compassion. It's all about the cruelty with them. They give themselves tax breaks while simultaneously cutting key benefits for the American people. It's shameful and it needs to end. Meme that reads: I don't know what word in the English language-- I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets. The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it. ~ Noam Chomsky

Excellent description of today’s MAGA-Republican Party.

They’re not capable of empathy or compassion. It’s all about the cruelty with them.

They give themselves tax breaks while simultaneously cutting key benefits for the American people.

It’s shameful and it needs to end.

Show this to a federal worker and let them know how many people support and appreciate them.

Tulsi Gabbard's intel chief nomination clears key Senate hurdle Senators voted to limit debate on Gabbard's nomination, paving the way for a final vote later this week.

Not a single Republican senator stood against Gabbard -- ignoring the law requiring the director of national intelligence to have deep national-security experience. She has none. She represents the disastrous rise of misplaced power, and a danger to the United States. www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...

CFPB Is Suspended & We Are All at Risk What shutting down the CFPB means for working Americans and the billionaire class

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does.

So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose.

White, Jesus-Loving Christians Need to Defeat Christian Nationalism I didn’t want to be doing this.

Christian nationalism isn’t a Black problem.
It isn’t a Muslin problem.
It’s not an Atheist problem,
Jewish problem,
or immigrant problem.
White Christian nationalism is a white-Christians-living-in-America-who-care-about-the-teachings-of-Jesus, problem.

Cruelty is the point.

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.

The world’s poor are starving, food is rotting, and US farmers are left struggling… I don’t even know how to name this sin against humanity. 🤷🏻‍♂️💔
