Come on, this was 2015. What should NYT have cut to make room for that? A Hillary's Email article? Preposterous.
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

Great to hear Boston City Councilors explicitly condemning dangerous censorship legislation like #KOSA and the SCREEN ACT.
The Massachusetts Congressional delegation, especially @warren.senate.gov who cosponsored KOSA, and @markey.senate.gov who voted to advance it, need to start listening.

it's not really possible anymore to "get out democracy back" or whatever, absent painful and foundational reforms. we can't govern a nation or participate in the world when every 4 years every institution and every practice can be completely upended. swinging crazily from pole to pole is not viable

I really don't give a shit how honest somebody is or what they care about, if their ridiculous beliefs require everyone else not to offend them.
Suppose a number of Christian men are offended by nude livestock on the roadside -- should they be able to mandate boxer shorts on horses or bras on cows?

The Federalist is coming for your artistic nudes. By which I mean the ones in museums.

this dumbass government is about to ban capitalism because banking transactions contains the word “trans.”
The Pentagon has marked 26,000 photos for deletion to purge evidence of diversity.
The photos include the 1st black pilots in WWII, the 1st women to pass infantry training & the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb because it’s called the “Enola GAY”.
This is real. We’re living in a horror story.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million.

18F is *precisely* what Musk and team claim should exist within government. But when his team found it, they destroyed it, because it is evidence that government works well (can’t have that!), and because like Zelensky, 18F didn’t bend the knee.

Trauma does not tell its own story. Yes, people will get angry, they'll be unhappy, but they will not just automatically know who's to blame or why it happened or how to fix it. They won't magically "wake up" to that knowledge unless *someone tells them*. Events will not do dems' comms for them.

People want to think that trauma -- being fired from their job, losing medicaid, whatever -- will "force people to face reality," but that's not how people work. When people face trauma they turn to voices they trust to tell them who's doing it, and why, and what it means.

A 2020 study found that NIH-research contributed to every single one of the 356 new drugs approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019.
Examples
AZT (zidovudine) – HIV/AIDS.
Taxol chemotherapy
Imatinib - myeloid leukemia.
Ipilimumab - cancer immunotherapy.

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

In April 1933, the German government enacted a law to "restore" the civil service. Seems like something worth reading about, something maybe possibly relevant to current events.

Wow—Trump is firing and banning all trans people from the military, per DoD memo.
“Military service by members and applicants for military service who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria is incompatible with military service.”
