There’s still no clear plan for where these programs or scientists go, how the work continues, or how disruptions are avoided. Congress could intervene but for now, this is a deliberate move to dismantle core public-safety science under the banner of ideology.

They keep saying and doing what they say. So let’s keep believing them & working with our neighbors to do what’s right. Pogroms aren’t right, just in case you were wondering.

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

If you're not Jewish and you're having trouble contextualizing the Sydney attack, imagine a shooting at a public Christmas tree lighting in NYC. Little kids running around. Lovely Hanukkah lights. Maybe some singing. That's what these gunmen shattered. That's what we have to carry into Hanukkah.

Anti-Jewish violence does nothing but confirm the Zionist narrative around Jewish safety. If we want to challenge it, we need to hold fast to the better alternative.

Damn good questioning here.
FBI operations director Michael Glasheen says antifa is the government’s “primary concern” as “the most immediate violent threat” domestically. Bennie Thompson asks where antifa exists in the US and how many members it has.

There are anti-discrimination laws for a reason! Religion is a protected class!
The House has gone a little crazy with the reprimands lately, but calling for the destruction of an entire religion (genocide, I believe you call that), would warrant some action in a normal legislative body.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.
