US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers.

Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social

The founders would have hung him, and then dug up his corpse and hung it again for good measure.

Good chance there might be a holiday about this had it happened back then, and we'd all be digging up little dolls and hanging them once a year.

Yep. Trump works for Putin. And Putin is smiling. Because Trump is doing exactly what Putin wants him to do.

Since he’s so obsessed with slapping his name on everything, let’s make him happy by releasing the Trumpstein files.

Chrrrrriiiiiiiiiisssssstttttt

THIS.

Mass General Brigham studied 18,124 births and found that children exposed to maternal COVID-19 in the womb had a 29% higher risk of neurodevelopmental diagnoses by age 3, especially if exposure happened in the third trimester or in male children.

Law and order? LOL

Trump is the party of crooks.

N.Y. Attorney General Sues Far-Right Group VDARE for Misusing Funds The suit says the nonprofit's leaders — who helped bring anti-immigrant ideas into the G.O.P. mainstream — used donor money to buy a castle-like home. Pic is of ugly house that looks like castle

I’m sorry but if you’re going to misuse funds to buy a home why would you choose THAT home

It's Time to Release the Epstein Files People who fight this hard to hide something have something to hide.

Ossoff: "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes"

Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."

So after the Epstein survivors themselves said this matter wasn't a hoax and told their stories, the President told them they were lying. That's the headline every reputable media outlet should be running.

"Captive Dreamer" appears not to know where Alexander Hamilton came from (he was born on Nevis and raised on St Croix, both in the West Indies, and came to New York on a scholarship to study at Columbia University, where he was immediately involved in student protests).

Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.

She Pushed to Overturn Trump’s Loss in the 2020 Election. Now She’ll Help Oversee U.S. Election Security. Heather Honey has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security. State election officials and voting experts are concerned.

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security in which she’ll help oversee election security.

The whole convo here is about talking about these issues in plain language that people actually use and understand. So they can identify with us enough to want to vote for our candidates.

But all we get here is "but this is the specific reason for the jargon".

I spent my life as an academic, and I promise you that clear communication is not their strong suit

Florida’s Atrocity by Design How DeSantis and Republicans Engineered a Humanitarian Disaster in Broad Daylight

From the Digital Drumbeat: @thejenniwren.teamlh.social tells of Florida's mad race to maximize their detention capacity, at the expense of human dignity.

"Trump & DeSantis didn’t just allow this—they engineered it. Every flooded tent, every death, every abuse..."

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Sorta feels like "they are actively gutting cancer research" should be finding more purchase out there

Disgusting.

Animal shelters are full because people can't afford pets Millions of animals are stuck in increasingly cramped shelters because their owners are struggling to pay rising vet bills and other expenses.

Basic grocery prices and the price of living has gotten so high under Donald Trump that animal shelters are filling up because people cannot afford their pets.

Blocked

Who, exactly, has been blocking release of the Epstein files?

If the President is a Pedophile... An open letter to Republican Voters, Trump Supporters, White Evangelicals, and MAGA Faithful,

This column asks Trump supporters: "If the President is a pedophile, don’t you want to know?"

I can answer that: Nope they don't want to know. And if they did, they'd make an excuse for him sexually assaulting children.

This message from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social is extremely important. Trump is building his own Gestapo and SS.

We’ve officially entered totalitarianism.
