The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

This administration is telling every AI company in the country, your ethics stop where our desire for unchecked power begins. Refuse to build systems for dragnet surveillance and autonomous killing, and we will come after your bottom line—an authoritarian incentive structure. #holdfast

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood.

This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.

There is currently no robust organizing effort focused on demanding mass firings and prepared with a plan to make it happen. Such an effort has to contend with the question of what to do with thousands of people from an unaccountable paramilitary who will be unemployed.

If you can sign up in your district to be a poll worker, do. It’s more important than ever. You can help protect someone’s right to vote.

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades.

In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Every time a fascist takes office, they do increasing damage to this country's ability to fight off fascism. Look at the difference between 2016 and 2024.

The fascists are learning. If our leaders won't, they are advocating for eternal fascism.

the truth is:

black people are made to feel intrusive nearly everywhere we go.

but even allies "uninflicted with blackness" often fail to advocate on our behalf so resolutely to society for compassion & understanding

and when we are forced to do so for ourselves, we are vilified for it.

The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM In one email, an AI researcher suggested it’s “hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why another woman hates you.”

"But he didn't know" okay, great, but did he speak out against an overtly sexist, racist power broker, or did he accept the invitations and the money? Because this culture doesn't just happen. It's created by the consent of the people who have access to those spaces.

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

the right really hates it when you call their planned concentration camps "concentration camps." their whole program works only if you make migrants into a scary mass of undocumented criminals coming for white families. its a lot harder when you humanize it. keep it up.

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

So, just to recap, we have two random DOGE bros with basically no knowledge or experience in the humanities (and at least one of whom is a college dropout), who just went around terminating grants that had gone through a full grant application process by feeding in a list of culture war grievance terms, selecting out the grant titles based on the appearance of seemingly “woke” words, then asking ChatGPT “yo, tell me this is DEI” and then sending termination emails the next day from a private server and forging the director’s signature. This is what “government efficiency” looks like in practice: two guys with zero relevant experience, a keyword list built on culture war grievances, and a chatbot confidently spitting out 120-character verdicts on federal grants that went through actual review processes. The experts who might have explained what these grants actually do? Locked out. The director whose signature appeared on termination letters? Couldn’t tell you which grants got cut or w

Ever wondered how your grant got cancelled? No we know. Some college dropout asked ChatGPT "is it DEI/woke"?

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed.

This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year.

They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

NASA Goddard Library Shutdown Update NASA Goddard Library Shutdown Update

I am posting some photos of the NASA Goddard library taken yesterday. The photos were NOT taken by library employees - but rather by others at NASA Goddard . Word has it that trucks are arriving this weekend to begin removal of these boxes. More: nasawatch.com/trumpspace/n... #NASA

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

If it’s not one thing, it’s another. While the Goddard Library is being dismantled, OMB is also not giving allocated money to NASA, NIH, or NSF (at least). NASA Science Mission Directorate has been instructed to not spend 2026 appropriated funds for a number of projects.

The 35-40% of voters who love Miller's sadistic mass deportation plan are locked in. They're not going anywhere. The next election hinges on whether the 25% of low-information/swing voters will be repulsed *enough* by the racist sadism to change their votes. Miller is betting on them not caring.
