Research grants from the federal government are set up to maximize the benefits to the US from research. They are awarded to the places and people best able to solve the problems, invent the drugs, add innovations etc. Withholding grants hurts the US.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

This morning Peter Navarro said that “tariffs create revenue that will go towards a huge tax cut.” The administration is literally telling us that the poor and middle class are financing tax cuts for billionaires.

Trump is poised to lose both domestic and international support through a gradual, subterranean erosion—collateral in nature yet inevitable—as democratic societies increasingly reject authoritarian posturing.

Morning Bluesky. Russia is pushing the idea that the extraordinarily successful Hands Off protests yesterday were organised by the ‘Deep State’ to bring about a ‘Colour Revolution’ in America like the one that overthrew the Putin puppet in Ukraine in 2004. Expect Trump to echo.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Think of all the lawyers and judges Trump is going after. Every law firm and prosecutor that held him to account over the last 4 years. Except Merrick Garland. Not a single word has spewed from Trump on Garland. While every other prosecutor, on any case against him, is being threatened.

Authoritarians don't willingly cede power. The oligarchs didn't spend billions simply for a brief taste of feudalism. If you're dreaming of comebacks via midterms and elections, you're kidding yourself. It will take an uprising. By trying to prevent it, the democrats are doing their bidding.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Indeed, a White House official told The Free Press that the basis for targeting Khalil is being used as a blueprint for investigations against other students.

Khalil is a "threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States," said the official, noting that this calculation was the driving force behind the arrest. "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law," said the official.
