Anti-abortion activists in the US have created a new chatbot to dissuade people from abortion using misinformation and deception - the two main strategies of "crisis pregnancy centres." This is basically a digital CPC designed to reach many more people.
Terrifying chatbot is here to talk women out of abortions | Opinion

A state service branded to the leader is a hallmark of personalist governance. Benefits appear to flow from Trump, not the institution. Citizens are repositioned as clients. Well-being becomes linked to political allegiance. The Constitution recedes, and Trump becomes the perceived gatekeeper.

This administration literally makes me wanna cry, we're all losing so much...
NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Unfortunately, under our Kavanaugh Stops regime, it is entirely rational for anyone who appears Hispanic to carry proof of citizenship at all times. The worst part is that it might not be enough: ICE/CBP keep arresting people who have proof of citizenship, refusing to accept its validity.
U.S. Latinos are now more worried about being asked to prove their legal status during their daily activities (43% today vs. 31% in March), and roughly 1 in 5 have changed their daily routines because of it.

It could take decades to recover from where we are.
My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?
