Venture capital firms are now reaching out to scientists who have faced funding cuts due to Trump/Musk/Doge and offering them funding.

This isn’t just about immigrants. You don’t build infrastructure this vast for a narrow target. This is preparation for broader repression and we’d be fools to ignore it.

I've seen a huge push on the right, both religious and secular, to condemn empathy.
It's probably the scariest element to everything thats happening around us.
Empathy is often the strongest barrier to cruelty and atrocities.
It's imperative that we fight to keep our empathy.

2. Those who said NO
Both distributed weekly.
And Collaborators (even ‘democrats’) to understand VERY CLEARLY, they would be REMEMBERED come the Revolution.
The middle ground no longer exists.
