Most people don't know what's really going on, how it's impacting their lives right now, choose not to know, or think they can't do anything about it. All are misapprehensions of the truth.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

Tesla paid $0 in federal taxes last year. If you’re reading this, you paid more taxes than Tesla. It made $2.3 billion last year. Does that seem fair to you?

Wanting our tax dollars to go towards every American having housing, healthcare, and food instead of bombs is not a “fringe” position. It’s humane. What’s “fringe” is buying bombs while Americans sleep on the streets and go bankrupt because they get cancer.

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

I'm sorry but if you see a plane crashed and the first thought in your head is "probably happened because of a black guy," you don't have anything to offer humanity and you probably shouldn't even leave a note.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025. There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
