The idea that science doesn't allow dissent is a far right lie.
If you've ever been to a science conference or lab meeting, you'll have seen how common disagreement & debate are.
But we resolve these disagreements with evidence.
Trump's NIH Director is mad that he's been called out for lying.

one of the stranger phenomena in American life is that hate is supposed to flow in one direction (rural people get to hate urban people, Republicans get to hate Democrats) and if the hate goes the other way people pretend as if this is very upsetting.
The media made a HUGE deal out of "basket of deplorables" and "cling to their guns or religion."
But, of course, it will totally ignore Trump saying he hates Democrats: "I hate them. I believe they hate their country."

in addition to his "shylocks" comment, i can't imagine the media backlash if Biden said anything like from this screenshot - that he "hates Republicans" - and i'm also tired of having this "IMAGINE IF BIDEN!" thought experiment but it's just a constant reminder of the double standards

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration
Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization?
Rubio: That’s irrelevant
Host: No, that's a key point
Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians *Literally* thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

Every college and university should do this to remind Americans that attacks on these institutions are actually attacks on all of us.
Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

Harris’s failed attempt to court Trump voters in 2024 shows that they are not persuadable. Democrats would be fools to keep making decisions based on what plays to Trump’s base rather than what plays with their own.

Anyone who played along with (or even gave legitimacy to) the bullshit assertions these right-wingers ever truly cared about free speech should not be taken seriously.
We can’t let “free speech” be used as a disingenuous cudgel any longer.
