"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

For those of you asking why Pete Hegseth has a Russian email address: It's so he can log into Signal.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

In light of the 🍊 💩 and his 👿 legion blocking access to Medicaid today, Marc Cuban has a pharmacy website for drugs at cost. They don't have everything (e.g. Keppra is not available, but the generic equivalent, Levetiracetam, is) but it is an option and cheaper in many cases. costplusdrugs.com

"If the human race is still here in 100 years, it will be because of lots of people doing lots of little things. Bigger things can get bought off by the powers that be. But if there are many, many little things going on, it will be too hard for them to keep up with all of them. " Pete Seeger
