The National Science Foundation. Fired. All of its. Experts.
And they weren't even told to! The leadership worked toward the Fuhrer and went beyond the cuts demanded of them in anticipation of many, many more firings—up to *half* its staff.
The thing about destroying NIH is NIH’s scale in medical research just dwarfs everyone else.
For ex, in 2023 the American Cancer Society gave out $64.5 million worth of grants. Sounds big, right?
But NIH’s budget was $49 billion. With a B.
Kill NIH and the floor drops out of US science.
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

"Happily, today’s car buyers can find plenty of quality electric vehicles built by companies whose CEOs have neither destroyed a federal agency nor endorsed extremism. If you’re in the market for an EV, buy one of those."

The NWS is a critical public utility and it would be extremely difficult to rebuild if torn down.

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
