He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.
C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

There must be consequences but I fear there will not.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

We so desperately need this in the United States.
Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

After a decades-long cover-up, this is a tremendous victory for the victims who fought for the release of these files.
Since Trump pledged to sign the bill, we demand he stop putting up barriers and order the DOJ to immediately produce a full, unredacted release of the files as ordered by Congress.

The destruction of US science will be felt worldwide for decades. Take it from @msier.bsky.social, who was the lead program director for the Biological Oceanography program at the US National Science Foundation.
I don’t think people understand how wrecked it is or how hard it will be to rebuild.

Yep. This was inevitable once Trump took office. We are falling so far behind. He is quickly bankrupting our country the same way he did with his casinos.
