Admirable clarity @science.org

The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

Melat Kiros’ website sucks. It’s weird phrasing makes me think it was AI generated, which is hilarious because she apparently supports a national moratorium on data centers, and the only evidence for her attacks on DeGette on funding bills Dems voted for unanimously (inc. AOC, Omar, Tlaib, etc.)

The fact is that the most correct observation anyone can make about US politics over the previous decade is that voting for Hillary Clinton would have fixed literally everything you’re currently suffering from, and you only think this isn’t the case because of misogyny

There are concentration camps in America. In “The Destruction of the European Jews”, Raul Hilberg details how the initial concentration camps were built, much like this, hastily and simply for the purpose of holding people until they could be put on to their final place. It was only later 1/2

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Even if the outcome is the same -- the Republican majorities + Trump get what they want -- I think there is value in *performing* opposition, in two ways. First, it motivates the base. Second, it dramatizes the conflict to draw the attention of the politically inattentive.
