Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Just unimaginable trash. That is what is ruling this country right now.
This is a nightmare of epic proportions.
I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

What is wrong with us.
The problem with saying you’ll restart the important parts later is they’re all important parts now, and have been. I’m not sure why this isn’t understood but it could have something to do with the slanderous broadsides leveled against institutions & public servants for ≈ 50 years or so
NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two.

So now they’re feeling cocky AF & planning to ramp up their crime spree, encouraging others to join them in forcefully breaking into clinics to shut them down & traumatize patients. & they're recruiting cops to stand back & let it happen. This is not “pro-life” trouble. It’s terrorism.

Anti-abortion terrorists are getting a hall pass from the government and what comes next is fucking terrifying. Trump pardoned several clinic harassholes of their federal crimes for harassing, physically BLOCKING, and invading clinics, promising to go easier on them next time. buff.ly/KuaF4a1

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Not that that brain worm addled trash would ever care about our children.
This news truly breaks my heart.
We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

This seems like the most logical action to take.
Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ?
It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI
He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone.
If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.
