The Trump administration is lawless and chaotic. That aside, providing "law and order" is not the same as providing justice. Order without justice is merely fascism.

My puppy is feeling this

Government papers found in an Alaskan hotel reveal new details of Trump-Putin summit Documents with sensitive details about the meeting between President Trump and Russian President Putin were left behind on a public hotel printer.

Not voting is also a vote

“Instead of sitting down satisfied with the efforts we have already made, which is the wish of our enemies, the necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance.” Sam Adams.

Revolution is the solution.

Please stop using that acronym.

Taking demographics into account, odds are that his worshipers are among those that will lose their local public radio. So while not explicitly stated, that is who they're talking about.

Beautiful idea

Bigotry is self-destructive, but they'll just blame those they hate.

It's cute that you think there will be midterms

Murders are down nationwide. Researchers point to a key reason Homicides are falling dramatically in many U.S. cities, after a surge in 2020 and 2021. Analysts say a reinvestment in communities from local government after the pandemic's disruption is a key reason.

That's because they don't plan to allow midterms.

BREAKING: Supreme Court rules Constitution unconstitutional.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Socialism: the incredibly scary, dangerous, and naive notion that the taxes we pay could be used on programs that benefit us, like they are in all those countries with longer lifespans, lower wealth inequality, and happier citizens, instead of just paying for bombs, tanks, and cops.

How to speak to a vaccine sceptic: research reveals what works Hesitancy about vaccinations is on the rise, but studies show there are specific ways to address people's questions.

How to spot suspicious papers: a sleuthing guide for scientists An open collection of tips and tools could help researchers and publishers to pick up on problematic research.

A "Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides" has been published to help spot suspicious scientific research. 🧪

The COVID vaccine started being available on December 17, 2020. During the first year Evangelicals were strongly opposed to vaccinations. As many of them noticed their unvaccinated fellow Evangelicals were catching COVID and dying from it, the smarter ones started getting vaccinated. But given a measure of state percent Evangelical I calculated a quick estimate of how many of the COVID deaths in 2021 would not have happened if the Evangelical leadership had not. rejected COVID vaccination. During 2021 there were 416,893 counted COVID deaths. A lot were not counted by I can't estimate the actual deaths so I have to work with this number. Of them. 152,098 of all the states had the predicted number of deaths they would have had if they had no Evangelicals. That would have been 264,795 COVID deaths, 36.48% fewer. Our Republican dominated government wants to impose the Evangelical idiocy on the rest of us and it is going to be hard to keep this Evangelical idiocy from killing a lot of us.

Yesterday RFK Jr. fired all the scientist who were there to provide science based information about recommending vaccines. In response I produced another version of the graph showing the effect of percent Evangelical on COVID death rates. Click ALT for more. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology #Population

Biotech funding plummets as Trump policies unnerve investors: Jefferies The investment bank says funding was down 57% last month, to $2.7 billion, and argues the new administration’s FDA restructuring, NIH cuts and drug pricing rules are “exacerbating” the decline.

🧪We keep talking about the slow death of academic research. Biotech is also feeling the the effects of funding cuts.

Analysts found biotech funding in May was down 57%, to just over $2.7 bn compared to the same time last year.

My colleague is feeling this.

I aim to stay science-focused but can't ignore shifts around me.
Yesterday, all civil servants were offered early retirement or else. CSs are only a fraction of employees—contractors like me are disposable, I suppose.
This is how science and institutional knowledge are being destroyed.

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters.

What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

Call it what it is, his latest demonstration of an addled mind.

The National Science Foundation Is Being Dismantled. What The Economy Needs Is More Investment In Research, Not Less The economic consequences of restricting scientific inquiry on this scale could be far-reaching.

The destruction of the National Science Foundation is an ongoing catastrophe. This hurts the US in many ways and will rapidly eliminate our lead in science and technology. Is that what the country voted for? 🧪
