Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

The Trump administration's attempts to cut the overhead rates of grants awarded to universities from NIH, NSF, DOE, DoD, etc. have gone largely unnoticed outside of academia, but this move is a crucial aspect of the assault on American research universities. @andrewdessler.com wrote about it. 🧪

Reasonable people can no longer deny that the United States has descended into autocracy. We are all slipping into a deep nightmare. What is the bottom? That depends on whether we unite against the whirlwinds of danger- or take solace from our fear in hedonism and fantasy.

Trump wants 20,000 troops to hunt, transport immigrants. Cost estimate: $3.6 billion
The moves would shift the military from its mission of defending the nation against foreign adversaries toward policing its streets.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic.

Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.

But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.

Speak up now before it is too late.
