When Hitler took power in January 1933 he started opening concentration camps. Dachau was one of the first. It wasn't for Jews.
It was for the mass imprisonment (& murder) of political opponents. Including journalists.

NSF just slashed its graduate research fellowships by 51%.
This prestigious program has trained & nurtured at least 42 scientists who went on to become Nobel laureates.
We're destroying it, at exactly the time we claim to worry about our "sputnik moment" with China

This 51% cut to graduate fellowships is a bloodbath.
And it's one of the first public indications of just how much NSF thinks its STEM education budget (the EDU directorate funds the GRFP) might be slashed by Congress.
(Prior, we only knew that new EDU awards were being evaluated but not issued)

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest.

Agree! There are plenty of people who aren't Nazis and criminals for him to chat with. This is just disturbing.
Anyway Gavin Newsom’s podcast is premised on this concept “I will bring on people I disagree with and have conversations with them and that’s good for Discourse” and then he invites Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, and Michael Savage. This is the thing about “Discourse among people who disagree:”

“You are a traitor.”
An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did.
And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut.
Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.

Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.

Did you know?
The Nazis modeled their race laws after Jim Crow laws. They decided they weren’t harsh enough so the Nuremberg Laws were created which set the stage for the mass murder of over two thirds of Europe’s Jewish population.
Jim Crow wasn’t just evil—it was an inspiration for atrocity.
