The right completely fails to understand that national productivity (and security) succeeds and thrives when the mass of citizens are NOT terrified every second (of getting sick; of trying to deal with banks and insurance; of starving).
More productivity = more for all (even the billionaires!)

Oooof. I funded my entire dissertation research project with this grant. Studied hundreds of ancient Roman skeletons and figured out which belonged to people who migrated to Ancient Rome. Other researchers are still citing this research (pub’d in 2010) and using my data to compare with their own. 🏺🧪
The NSF Bio Anthro Program DDRIG, Cultural Anthrpology DDRIG, and Archaeology DDRIG have all been archived (as of yesterday afternoon). Please speak with your grad students and plan accordingly. To say I am angry and depressed about this is an understatement.

I hope people are finally recognizing that the goal is to kill people. You know the regime is getting their vaccines. Trump was just vaccinated recently.
The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
Also missing: the text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy”

If you want to live under a king, you ultimately wish to be a slave to that person’s commands.
If you want to live under a democracy, you wish to be free to do anything that’s allowed under the law.
The people who want authoritarianism don’t feel confident enough to live with real freedom.

Reasonable:
Reporters: it’s your job to ask him to identify which “legal scholars“ he’s talking about.
He says there are “many,” so ask him to identify two.

I would like it to be noted that every Democrat on Twitter, from Gavin Newsom to Jon Favreau is condemning the shooting of Charlie Kirk, but not a single Republican condemned the assassination of Democratic MN State Rep Melissa Hortman.

"It’s proof that the American right has spent better part of the last decade letting algorithmic spam tell them what they want to hear, astroturfing themselves into believing that some silent majority out there believes in their worthless MAGA crusade."
"This has all been especially painful for X users who are, as a baseline, extremely racist. And they are now suffering through the psychic torment of learning that users, predominately from the Global South, are behind some of the bigger right-wing accounts on the site."

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.
