At the DC #standupforscience today.

The question was β€œWhy are you here?” She came up with this on her own! (I helped her with the spelling)

Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear? Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'

Compelling Mass Civil Servant Resignations Will Create Chaos Twitter is not a model for government reform

New, from me: Looking closer at the effort to induce mass civil servant resignations.
*The offers are not real buyouts
*Feds should read the fine print
*If mass resignations occur, it is really bad for the rest of us

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
