Ignore my earlier repost about sitting down during a protest. It lack Situational Awareness, despite being well intentioned. And Gratitude for the people who pointed that out.

Advisory warning poster for what to do in a protest: don’t sit down in a protest. It’s harder to get up quickly especially for those with mobility issues. Tear gas sinks people on the ground are at higher risk. Staying mobile helps peace Marshall’s de-escalate. Consider alternatives. Stand silently. Link arms. Walk slowly. Document. Nonviolence works best when it’s strategic.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.

It would really be great if, when journalists are interviewing Stephen Miller, who goes off a tirade on courts curbing executive power, could ask, What article of the Constitituon grants the power to:

1. Control immigration
2. Regulate international commerce
3. Suspend habeas

🔥🔥🔥 Rep. Horsford torches the MAGA House Republicans' spending bill and names it the "Screw America Bill."

The GOP is cutting health care for 14 million people.

And, they are taking food assistance away from millions of kids, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities!
