Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?
Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

the ball to move down the field right now is not getting a Ohio swing voter to think trump is bad, it's getting the people who went to the march for science and women's marches in 2017 to show up again.

We’re all gonna die because people with some power to do something were worried about whether trying to save us made them sound histrionic 🤡
honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!
What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

"We have to allow this [org/shelter/hospital/school] to erase the trans community and comply to save everyone else"
Absolutely not.
I will not allow my community to be jettisoned to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too.
But we are all in this together.

We revamped our US Politics channel on our discord for 2025. It locks up at night so people can't doom post, we don't allow "here's a terrible thing just to be upset" unless it comes with an action item, and this week we've started sharing our 1 Joyful Task & 1 Spiteful Task of the day.

I feel like this is what happens when you let your opposition set terms - when you accept a faulty premise as a compromise.

So there’s a car across the street when I got home in the middle of the night, sitting with the driver’s door open randomly, all the lights off, and it’s just odd.
As a Naturally Anxious, I have created multiple spiraling scenarios in my head to explain it.

These grants fund the work of thousands of individuals working to prevent and treat cancer; lengthen lives by eliminating deadly diseases; and make each and every American and person on this earth healthier. And none can be awarded now.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

We just had this whole election cycle about how inflation is the unforgivable political sin, which no other widely felt benefit can counterbalance, and it’s discarded two days into the new administration.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Wednesday that the looming tariffs that President Donald Trump is expected to slap on U.S. trading partners could be viewed positively.
