Hi, former Foreign Service Officer here

The Secretary of State might be interested to learn that visa requirements and terms are generally reciprocal. We do it to them, they do it to us.

It Could Only Be You Real Estate Agents, Racist Receipts, and America's Racial Caste

New post up: It Could Only Be You — on racism, real estate agents, and why the problem isn’t just bad apples, it’s the orchard. From redlining to Zillow, racism didn’t end—it just rebranded. Read it here:

Great thread here from @greene.haus - start with the opening post and peel back the onion with his subsequent posts… #civicvirtue #America2025

THERE IS NO AMERICAN CONSTITUENCY FOR AN ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA. Even the GOP hates it. It’s just that Russia, for reasons we STILL do not know, owns Trump.

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

Good morning, bastards.

Jane Fonda said, and I agree, "Have any of you ever watched a documentary of a great social movement...and asked yourself, would you have been brave enough to walk the bridge?... we are IN our documentary moment, this is it," accepting her lifetime achievement from #SAGAwards.

Remarkable assessment by an incoming German chancellor. “for me it is an absolute priority to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible, so that we achieve independence from the US, step by step.” www.dw.com/en/german-el...

Trump policies spark fears of brain drain, threatening to undermine U.S. dominance in biomedicine A torrent of Trump administration policies is alarming scientists who fear the current climate is weakening researchers’ resolve to stick with careers in academic science.

The Trump administration's cuts in science funding will likely lead to an exodus of scientific expertise, the research community warns. "That beacon of research that the US was for several decades — it’s just not going to be there.” www.statnews.com/2025/02/12/t...

As officials prepare for WHO-led flu vaccine meeting, many wonder: Will the U.S. show? Each year, flu experts from around the world gather to map out recommendations for next winter's flu vaccine. This year, it's unclear if the U.S. will show.

In late February, experts will convene to decide what #flu viruses next winter's flu vaccines should target. The #CDC & #FDA have 2 of the 10 votes around the table. This year it's not clear they'll attend, which could make things challenging for manufacturers. www.statnews.com/2025/02/13/w...

The Real Problem With Trump’s Cheesy Neoclassical Building Fetish Sure, it’s a dog whistle for “retvrn” types and the results are tacky—but that’s not the worst part.

As always @katewagner.bsky.social is brilliant “We need to talk again about saying no, not simply because something is tacky and creativity-destroying, but because it is wrong. Trump’s actions are making it clear that things are not going back to normal.” www.thenation.com/article/cult...

This is a comprehensive (and very bleak) summary of the current state of US science

Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Cuts to Medical Research Funding A coalition of 22 attorneys general sued the federal government Monday, claiming that the $4 billion in cuts would “grind to a halt” studies on cancer, heart disease and other conditions.

The latest --- Funding cuts are stopped in CA, IL, NY, MD, WI, NJ, etc... but not in PA, GA, AL, MO and others...

Trump Says Some Treasury Notes May Not Be Real I suspect this will just end up being something Old Man Trump...

a good bit of evidence that trump represents bona fide confederate government is that he keeps tripping every wire placed by the 14th amendment talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

JD Vance made clear back in 2022 that he sees America as "post-democracy" and that Trump should do all the illegal and unconstitutional stuff he's doing now and ignore the courts. The only shocking thing is that 99% of political media just ignored it. Now here we are.

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!

EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

One of the most important things the service academies teach is that officers have a duty to disobey illegal orders. One wonders if they will continue to teach that.
