I wouldn't go to a scientific conference in the US. Ever again. The country has gone rogue.

Physically Demonstrate like crazy. Shut DC down. Shut down House and Senate. Picket red state rep offices in DC. Make it really awkward for every red state rep to show up in public.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

If you have ideas for constructive ways to act in the wake of POTUS's false claims & attacks on BLS (& the Fed & NCES...), don't wait. Do it.

You are welcome to DM me if you'd like.

Well empty words I'd say. Hardly any conservatives are defending the country. Rather they are accelerating its demise. US CITIZENS are being kidnapped off the street and sent to El Salvador. Like just what has to happen? Lets not fool ourselves, conservatives are the bad guys (with guns). Plain evil

San Antonio data centers guzzled 463 million gallons of water as area faced drought The heavy usage, equivalent to tens of thousands of households, comes as residents are told to conserve water.

San Antonio data centers are guzzling millions of gallons of water daily while residents are limited to watering their lawns once per week due to drought.

Make it make sense.

By the way, if your elected officials are still on Xitter, as citizens you can tell them how you feel about this

Elected officials are actually very sensitive not to public opinion strictly speaking, but to people expressing things to them

This is something you can use

Honoring Two Fearless BLS Visionaries : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Carroll Wright, 1st BLS Commissioner, devoted BLS to β€œthe fearless publication of the facts without regard to the influence those facts may have upon any party’s position or any partisan’s views.”

Gates Foundation commits $2.5 billion for women’s health The Gates Foundation announcement provides the most detail yet on one area where the foundation plans to use its remaining funds before it shuts down in 2045.

The Gates Foundation will spend $2.5 billion over the next five years on projects related to women’s health, just as the U.S. government pulls back on science research and international development.

It feels like a scene where the contagion escapes in the clean room of the viral lab and the emergency seal around the room is activated and even the seal is starting to fail. We see you honourable Americans struggling, condemned, yet knowing the contagion is about to escape everywhere.

Unfortunately America has slipped away already. The changes that have already taken place will likely take a generation at least to fix. And there us another 1.5 years at least of 47's mayhem and chaos.

Please read this piece.

β€œThough I am a congenital optimist, for the first time I believe that if the behavior that this administration has exhibited in just its first six months continues and is amplified for its full four years, the America you know will be gone.”

The opposite of Conservatism.
