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.

New: Despite Congress' rejection of the Trump administration's cuts, OMB has been throttling funding to agencies like NIH and NASA. These restrictions, on top of the 6-week government shutdown, have stopped projects and slowed new grants.

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions

We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

Born #onthisday in 1868, the US sociologist + civil rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois. Celebrate with a look at the stunning hand-drawn "infographics" he made with his students, depicting conditions of African-American life in 1900: publicdomainreview.org/collection/w... #otd #BlackHistoryMonth

Every day I wake up and deal with people romanticizing the early 2000s and making me feel old

Living in fear: ICE pulls over, threatens University of Scranton community member

ICE thugs pulled over and threatened a University of Scranton employee “I hear one in the back say ‘I think we got the wrong person,’ and the other one says ‘They all look the same, we gotta get this one.’” aquinas.scranton.edu/post/living-...

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

Somehow raining hard enough to set off a car alarm

Daily affirmation: You deserve pączki

I think it's very depressing that there is simply no social stigma against distracted driving. When people join a Zoom meeting from their cars everyone should be deriding that sort of behavior, and yet it's just accepted.

This is Melrose Ave right now in between La Brea and Fairfax. Never seen any flooding here like this in my life.

Ah, I see. Bill “Not Legally the FA US Attorney” Essayli sent out the goon squad to menace a crowd of Jewish activists standing in solidarity with their neighbors on Shabbat because an ICE agent broke from his group, tried to arrest a high schooler, and got wrecked by a bunch of teens earlier today

The drummer on the Thriller album was both a legendary session player and part of the band Toto. His discography is bananas for 70s/80s pop music.

We get so frustrated with stunted adults who spent their entire childhood being punished for thinking critically. It sucks for everybody.

He’s going to tear it down

I refuse to listen close enough to see if you can actually hear it, but the woman to his right definitely smells something nasty.
