Losing a whole generation of early career researchers is not recoverable.. this makes me sad and right now it doesn't seem there's anything that can really be done.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

I worked in media my whole life.. mostly management.. I've completely abandoned legacy now and support as many indies as I can. The consolidation has been going on for years and it systematically destroys the media. Only the corporate 🤡s make out 💰 with the loot.

Meanwhile, this is going on almost under the radar because this *regime* is throwing stuff at us like crazy (just as an authoritarian regime taking over would do). Important 👇👇👇

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 8h

Carr has been demolishing media consolidation limits, consumer protections, and corporate oversight and pretending it's improved government efficiency

it's pure regulatory capture and corruption, but outside of places like the Ars and The Verge, most outlets parrot his efficiency framing

“Circumcision ‘highly likely’ linked to autism, RFK Jr. says in wild new Tylenol claim”

He doesn’t have any data but has received some tips. 😉

Autism is in every country and has been around forever, we just didn't know what it was. RFK Jr is batshit crazy and a major substance abuser. That's my tip for the day 🤣

Trump just got Letitia James indicted despite insiders leaking that the case against her is incredibly weak. He had to get his handpicked stooge to do it. This only shows how corrupt the whole thing truly is:

I’m not a Catholic but I am a Christian. This statement is quite moving. This is the way of Jesus.

"The Church, like a mother, accompanies those who are walking," the pontiff writes in the document, titled "Dilexi te" (I have loved you). "She knows that in every rejected migrant, it is Christ himself who knocks at the door of the community."

I'm also suspicious about who exactly it will go to.. cronyism or handled appropriately? But Jess is right, it won't matter much, our markets are in shambles (along with a lot of other things)

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 10h

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

The guy who seems to be setting the GOP shutdown position, Russ Vought, promised to put federal employees in trauma, and to use the shutdown to fire them and block their backpay.

Scalise: "When a good day for you is defined by how much suffering you can impose on other people, maybe you need to look in the mirror and check yourself at the door and wonder what it is you're up here trying to accomplish."
