The National Science Foundation fired all its experts.
The National Science Foundation. Fired. All of its. Experts.
And they weren't even told to! The leadership worked toward the Fuhrer and went beyond the cuts demanded of them in anticipation of many, many more firings—up to *half* its staff.

We need to remember what we’re capable of. Every day let your mind be blown by something you do, read, listen to, or create. That is one way we get through this—to remain open to everything that is wondrous in the world.

Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here.
We are long past the warnings of an approaching existential threat looming on the distant horizon of our story, which many of us spent the past decade imploring people not to ignore.

“cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

The US has made many stupendous errors in the Middle East and has committed some great crimes. But this would surpass them all.

A New Government Memo Feels Like It’s Straight Out Of 'The Handmaid’s Tale'
The memo also said recipients of federal transportation dollars must cooperate with immigration enforcement, a hit to so-called sanctuary cities.

After the role it played in helping Trump in 2016, many of us deleted Facebook. Now all the Meta Platforms, including Threads, is being transformed to help Trump in 2025. It is time for us to go. I'm out by end of the week.

Each time our nation has advanced closer to the more inclusive, pluralist, multi-racial democracy to which we’ve aspired at our best, that advance was preceded by a period of crisis and conflict.
This time is no different. A better democracy is on the other side of this crisis.

Good morning, Blue Sky.
Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.
Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.
Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.
Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.
