The Democrats shouldn't be there.

chat, is this good?

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

He's basically what the federalist papers warned against.

“[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.”

Spoken by a precious Trans girl, the night before the presidential election. She ended her life in January, after trump's order to end medically necessary affirming care for adolescents. This is murder. (St. of Wash, et al., v Trump, et al., Jan7)

The text reads, “It’s not just that we disagree about whether it’s a good idea to eat indoors, right? It’s that we disagree on how big of a problem that we think ableism is, how much we’re thinking about it, how important it is to show solidarity with other people and how much of a commitment we’re gonna make to that given how difficult it is actually to do all this. - October Krausch, Still Here: A Podcast from The Sick Times.”

I hope you're feeling better soon! There is so much going around right now...

i am so tired of seeing people do the absolute bare minimum to support their trans friends, who are at risk of violence and even death from all these federal policy changes

if you’re not speaking loudly and consistently about this right now, you’re not helpful and in fact are useless

As the expected Christian Nationalism EO came in, I’m seeing a bunch of “this isn’t real Christianity” noise in my mentions.

Nope.

Christian friends. 1/x 🧵

This is 💯 part of the history of Christianity, dating to Constantine, to the Holy Roman Empire, forced conversions, Inquisitions, +

AND I'M SAYING

it doesn't matter if you are next or not

if you are never gonna be next

because the people being harmed matter even if you were never ever gonna be next ever in any way

Hedge funds bet billions on market crash in Trump’s America Goldman Sachs reports a surge in short bets against US stocks

Hedge funds are making a multi-billion-dollar gamble against the US economy, betting Donald Trump's presidency will result in a massive market crash that could devastate 401(k)s, pensions, and household savings across America.

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

A man jumping, under the words "Make Time For Joy"

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.

When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.
