Can I just take a second to thank @obsidianent.bsky.social and the folx who created Avowed. Life is so hard, but having just a little bit of time to breathe and play this beautiful game has brought me joy and comfort. Also I cried a lot. 🙏 Thank you so much for creating this. It has been a gift.

It is genuinely your moral duty, if you’re in the sciences, to violate the terms of your contact and take as much of the research home with you as you can. Today, tomorrow, every day your lab’s still open.
this is a golden age for walking out of your lab with a USB key in your pocket getting on a plane and going to Luxembourg
Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

It’s state sponsored rape and murder of a disenfranchised demographic of its own people. That, folks, is a key component of fascism.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

At first I thought it was just greed and mismanagement, but there are definitely individuals involved that see excess deaths of vulnerable and elderly people as an upside and have said as much publicly.

I guess one shouldn’t be surprised to find the nazis are into eugenics.

This coupled with withdrawal from WHO is extremely, extremely bad.
People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:

Communities thrive when corporations die. Sustained economic boycotts are vital to our strategy.

The dependence on corporations because of their immediately cheaper or quicker options is in the long term more costly.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

'[Young] farmers rank access to stable, affordable land as a top challenge. For Black, Indigenous, and other farmers of color, it’s an even more formidable barrier. And access to capital is right up there alongside—and intimately tied to—land access.'

Also, I’m just getting the hang of BlueSky, so I deleted the previous post which contained an error based on my own confusion about Irish political parties being sidelined when forming the new government.

That’s not fascist, it’s just potentially fucked up and very confusing.

Solidarity with all trans brothers and sisters today. That your future is yours is cold comfort when the state has you targeted but for whatever it’s worth we stand with you
the reason they are going to ban care for trans kids is because they want to kill trans kids. that is not a bug it is a feature
