No, clearly not because these people stay out here attacking Bill Clinton for DADT as if gays were previously allowed to openly serve in the military before he came along.

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

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

I’m really disappointed by this crop of “progressives”. AOC won me over eventually, Mamdani seems pretty good. But the congressional primary winner in Colorado and now this guy have demonstrated extreme political neophytism.

I mean, I just can’t accept that people are treating it like new information came out. I understand she technically alleged something more serious, but that was right there to be read in between the lines of what’s been available for months.

As a housing abundance guy, if there’s an ascendant coalition in the Dem party that’s anti infrastructure (à la ban all data centers), then I think we’re getting worse. Not worse than ICE occupying cities, but a new festering political issue that will undermine our quality of life in the long run.

It’s fine. I mean, I am kind of mad because this doesn’t look like a clear win to me and thinks like “national moratorium on data centers” screams slopulism to me, making me think Kiros’ win will lead to worse national governance. I hope I’m wrong!

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.)

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

SpaceX does some genuinely valiant and ground breaking work, in spite of Musk. I was mainly being coy about nationalization/public stake, just because that’s was this admin is running around doing. I’m not sure the proper manner to extricate the value add parts of SpaceX from the kleptocratic parts.

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

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

that they would begin systematically slaughtering people because they had nowhere to send them. We’re 2/3 of the way to the American Holocaust. There is a secret police force that is increasingly emboldened to detain whomever they please and due process is straining. Keep organizing. 2/2

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
