Neoliberals and center right republicans like bulwark are not interested in democracy they are interested in laundering neoconservatism as democratic liberalism because they know the Republican Party is dead and would rather co-opt the democrats than end the fascist threat as that threat helps them.

That would apply to a fair number of DOGE staffers — and to Elon Musk.

@pbbumb blocked me for this, for just a simple disagreement about what users on here see and don't see. I'm on his side, just a different view that he can't handle, this is a typical blue sky user and its why this app will always just be a bubble.

This is the real problem. 👇🏻
There are still a lot of people who see Trump/MAGA as a political problem with a political solution, when it actually is a moral problem that demands a moral solution.

For those of us whose jobs and legacy have depended on NIH funding, this is so demoralizing. This letter which claims the NIH will be “restored to its gold standard” is beyond depressing. I don’t want to hear another story about a dude in a diner. Tell our stories.
