Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Man I wish I had done something like this.

It’s probably good that I didn’t.

But boy howdy there are stories.
A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”

Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.

Book review from NY Times: Money, Lies, and God by Katherine Stewart. How Trump Rode a Wave of ‘Reactionary Nihilism’ to the White House. I keep wondering how America got to this place, where it's ok to publicly be a white supremacist. NOT OK in my book!
