Science is effectively dead in the US for at least the next 3½ years, and will then take another several years to even get started again. Canceled research doesn’t just uncancel itself, and scientists who find opportunity elsewhere won’t just come flocking back.

The damage is generational.

Another shakedown, the more you cave to the autocrat the more empowered he feels.

🚨🚨🚨 RISE UP 🚨🚨🚨
A hard working 54 y/o woman selling tamales to feed her family is honorable; grossly victimized.

I urge others to take notice and find their courage.

Because if the First Amendment is to mean anything at all, it must mean that no government—regardless of party—gets to decide what is true, who gets heard, or which voices are silenced.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

Canadians are polite until we are we are not. What makes us not polite is fascism. We fought them on the streets of Toronto in 1933. We fought them in Spain. Long before America joined the war we fought them.
When you tell us we don't have a right to a country or kidnap our people we will fight back

They’re really out here about to debunk the “immigrants steal our jobs” trope for us. Meanwhile, prices will skyrocket, businesses will close, and people will die.

Transcript of Cartoon This cartoon has four panels. PANEL 1 Two scientists are talking. We can tell that they’re scientists because they’re wearing lab coats and there’s sciency-looking equipment in the background. Also a reel-to-reel projector and a photo of Al Gore. The Young Scientist is talking animatedly to the Older Scientist; Young’s eyes are wide and naive. YOUNG: Doctor Goldberg, I know it’s my first day on the job, but I found data proving that global warming is a hoax! PANEL 2 Older Scientist holds a hand high in the air, gesturing towards a brighter future. Young Scientist turns away, looking up in a noble fashion, his left fist clasped over his heart. OLDER: It’s true, we made it all up! But play along and you’ll be rich! YOUNG: Never! The people have a right to the truth! PANEL 3 OLDER has produced a handgun and shoots YOUNG in the back; YOUNG is in great pain and looks like he’s about to fall over. OLDER: What a shame. YOUNG: AAAGH! I die and the spirit of science dies with me! PANEL 4 Two completely different characters, a man and a woman, in a completely different scene. (We know it’s different because there’s no longer science stuff in the background, and because the color scheme has changed). The man is telling a story. MAN: …So that’s what I think happens. WOMAN: It does sound more likely than global warming being true.

A judge paused the construction of Alligator Alcatraz because it violates environmental laws. Never mind violations against the inmates housed there. You guys have some really fucked up judicial systems. I care about the environment but shouldn't there be some sort of considerations for the inmates.

Nike saying they're going to take a hit of about $1 billion because of the tariffs & need to offset with higher prices. Adidas, a $230 million hit, will raise prices. Walmart has warned of price increases. Ford going to take at least a $3 billion hit. #cdnpoli

this is technically a crop top

📌News this morning that Trump will use our military -- a military he was too weak and cowardly to serve in -- to go after drug dealers proves yet again he will will deploy our troops everywhere ... except to protect from attacks on our country that he provoked.
He's a sniveling, anti-American loser.

Awful specimens of insidious greed. Greed for power and wealth at any cost. The absolute worst of inhumanity

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

Flattery and fear: a CEO’s guide to handling Donald Trump Tim Cook and Brian Moynihan are among US bosses determined to keep the president happy

“You’ve been a great advocate for American innovation and manufacturing and I’m grateful for your leadership and your commitment,” Tim Cook told Trump, whose “liberation day” tariff announcement in April helped wipe $700bn from Apple’s market capitalisation 😬

After six years of adding medical staff, the VA this year is down more than 600 doctors and about 1,900 nurses. The number of doctors on staff has declined each month since President Donald Trump took office. The agency also lost twice as many nurses as it hired between January and June, records viewed by ProPublica show.

Trump admin says everything is hunky-dory at the VA.

But we found that the number of doctors at VA has dropped each month since Trump took office.

Nurses are way down too

We got the records.

ANALYSIS | Alberta no longer sure about big savings from auto insurance reforms | CBC News Danielle Smith said the new system would cut premiums by up to $400. But rising insurance costs, hail storms and tariffs are putting that claim in doubt.

Last year, the UCP promised a new auto insurance changes that will save drivers $400 per year.

INSTEAD, your insurance will hike by 7.5% this year, & another 7.5% (or more) next year.

NOW, Finance Minister is saying, Alberta drivers are already saving?

Encouraging everyone to think about how every right-wing paramilitary death squad around the world for the past century has armed itself with “lost” or “stolen” military/police gear and also 97% of their members were the same guys but with masks on.
