You may have known me other places as thatgirljj, which is a handle that fits me poorly now for many reasons. But since I’m literally on here following people I’ve known since the 1990s (and even from the LJ days), I figured y’all might need a reminder of who the hell I am.

Waiting for the big outlets to put two and two together and realize that police whose identities are secret and facilities are secret are secret police.

So I have been watching the national news media over the last few days, looking at when & how they started reporting on the situation in Los Angeles.

1) I was suspicious of the Trump/Musk kayfabe from the drop. Trump 2.0 always starts shit on Fridays, strange that the feud broke on a Thurs. 🤔

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

Did my part. Did you? Will you come out next time?
Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

Journalists at mainstream US publications are absolutely allowed to engage in activism as long as it is aimed at reinforcing existing hierarchies and undermining progressive change. NYT news reporters recently engaged in a startlingly effective campaign against trans rights, for example.
This isn't meant to be a dunk, but I'm genuinely surprised when people don't understand that journalists generally cannot take part in activism if they want to be taken seriously as journalists

BREAKING: Two unions with over two million government workers are suing the Trump admin over illegal executive orders.

AFSCME and AFGE assert that Trump illegally exceeded his authority by unilaterally trying to roll back a regulation that protects civil servants.

I was originally planning update my discussion on federal funding for university research, but instead caught influenza (tested & verified) and today was the first day this week I haven’t woken up with a fever over 101, so that’s not happening….

What the heck is going on at the NIH, NSF & other federal agencies that fund science? An attempt to sort through what I know….

This week, the WH administration froze all communication from the #NIH to outsiders. At the same time, they cancelled several panels reviewing grants submitted for funding

I've written about what happens when antibiotic research goes unfunded. Teams that worked for years to find and test badly needed new compounds break apart. Their institutional knowledge goes unrecorded. The compounds they worked on are lost to development.

Now scale that to all of US science.

To be very clear: aboveground nuclear testing will cause cancer, radiation poisoning & other health problems FOR AMERICANS!
There is no “signaling campaign” that would be worth this.

If you need a graphical testament, check the book American Ground Zero by Carole Gallagher.
The Heritage Foundation’s Bob Peters now recommends that if the US cannot develop the ability to conduct an underground nuclear test in Nevada within 3-6 months of an order to do so, it consider withdrawing from the 1962 Limited Test Ban Treaty and resuming open-air testing in Nevada or the Pacific.
