I was badly bullied throughout childhood. Everyone told me to ignore.
But then the bullies did things that became harder & harder to ignore until it ended in violence.
Ignoring is only an option for those with privilege.
I hope ppl learn how to use their privilege for decency and humanity.

If you want to turn a $1000 investment into $1,000,000 practically overnight, simply donate that $1000 to Doug Ford's Conservatives and apply for an Ontario Skills Development grant.

The United Nations’ highest court issued a legal opinion stating that nations are obligated to take action against climate change, warning that neglecting this responsibility could breach international law.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

This is how the descent into Idiocracy starts.
Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

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

For the sake of future generations, we need to be clear about both the horrors AND about how stupid everything is at the same time.
Previous recorders of history failed us by not emphasizing the stupidity—and its presence is one of the reasons the horrors aren’t taken seriously.

It strikes me that American businesses have been acting for a while now as if they think this is the last generation of workers they will ever need. No replacements for senior staff aging out by recruiting and training up juniors. Just a full-on belief that all labor will be presently automated.
A Berkeley professor noted that even top students with 4.0 GPAs aren’t landing jobs, a stark shift from when Berkeley grads had multiple offers. He sees this as irreversible, with tech hiring now favoring senior engineers. AI tools like make senior engineers so productive, juniors are less essential

5) Mock power. Fascists depend on the projection of invincible power. Take every opportunity to show the emperor has no clothes. Fascists depend on people craving proximity to power. Any sign of weakness is thus debilitating.
