This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Trump is trying to spin German election into what he wanted. It's not. Trump, Vance and Musk wanted the Far right AfD party to win. They didn't. The new incoming German Chancellor just last week slammed Vance for praising the Afd party. The US is even more isolated. www.reuters.com/world/europe...
German opposition leader joins rebuke of Vance criticism

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social I seem to be in a posting morning. But I am very sure those are not the right words to express my thoughts about the news.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.
Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .
Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?
Thoughts ?

I find it perplexing to even prioritize the news. It is cliché, but i think we are living the circus, not viewing it.

The taboo about talking about this among liberals and progressives is going to have to change. It's not anti-feminist. It's an empirically measurable socioeconomic crisis among young men. Young women are richer, more economically upwardly mobile, and own more homes than young men.
In our crisis of men, men worship anti-heroes. These anti-heroes sell them on the conspiratorial idea that what really matters in politics is what you can't see. What's corrosive about it isn't that it’s misguided, but that it declares politics impossible.

2/When we don’t invest in civics education, the conditions are ripe for Christian nationalism & MAGA tribalism, a politics that divides Americans & would have shocked the Founding Fathers, not because they didn’t believe it could happen, but because they believed they had taken steps to prevent it.
