So, what is all the tariff revenue going to be used for? Shouldn't they at least give lip service to the idea that there are benefits, not just the pure economic self sabotage it appears to be? This timeline is so weird.

I’ve seen a lot of assumptions in the media that Trump (and Musk) are targeting institutions with loyalty tests. But that’s not quite right. They’re using dominance tests. And the difference between these two things matter. 🧵

Can someone explain how resigning from your crucial govt role in order to protest this lawlessness is helpful. Doesn't that just empower the illegitimate raiders more?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Can we start a massive class action suit for all the mental and physical health damage done by Trump and Musk? Maybe just measure everyone's cortisol and news consumption? High enough on both, and you qualify for damages. Only half joking.

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

To Trump, any POC, female, or disabled hire is ipso facto unqualified. Should be hilarious given his colossal (the biggest ever?) skills/fitness to job requirements gap. Yet somehow, it's not.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science. Call Congress, 202-224-3121.

Political scientists and journalists are trained to be politically neutral in order to demonstrate their objectivity. But when a threat comes from one side, we abandon objectivity in the name of neutrality. The two sides *empirically* do not pose the same threat to democracy, but we pretend they do.

This is pretty much why so many professors are trying to hold the line on this and reverting to in-class written work. Society can't just outsource critical thinking to tech bro's (profitable) toys.

Yesterday, President Biden finalized a rule to remove medical debt from the credit reports of millions of Americans. The number of Americans with medical debt on their credit reports will be zero — down from 46 million right before he took office. Why isn’t anybody talking about this?

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

Hey writers. You know how dystopic novels/shows have been so prevalent lately? Good stuff, sure, but reading the room... Maybe some utopia envisioning would be gold about now? Like depicting a brave teen coming-of-age in like, a NICE universe? Random kindness. Things working out for the best?
