Cancelled Disney/Hulu. I'm furious with Disney's cowardice and failure to fight to defend our democracy and basic civil rights. I don't give a crap how much money Disney stands to loose. Disney needs to step up to the plate on behalf of this country and do it now. #CancelDisneyPlus #CancelHulu

β€œessentially closing research operations in my group” = no new experiments save 1 recently funded grant. Spending freezes limit our ability to order supplies and reagents. We need to focus remaining funding on maintaining personnel + analyzing existing samples w whatever’s left in the cabinet

So, they are
- illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress
- burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah
- reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system
- putting backdoors into Treasury
This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

BBC’s Steve Rosenberg reports from Russia that JD Vance’s speech at the Munich conference β€œhas gone down well in Moscow.”

That alone should tell you everything you need to know about the speech and what the Trump administration really stands for.

I don't believe that the Republicans in congress are unable to see the catastrophic implications of their inaction when it comes to stopping Trump-Musk from walking all over them (and us). The Rep congress is gutless. Any of the fired fed employees is braver. I am braver. Most of us are.

Elon Musk has taken by force full control of the computers of the U.S. Treasury. He now personally controls the disbursement of all federal funds and has full possession of all related information, including personal and financial information on every person/entity in the country. We must stop him.

'I feel like I’m stuck here': Trans, nonbinary Americans' passports remain in limbo Under President Trump's executive order, the U.S. State Department has suspended all passport applications for the gender changes. Here's the impact.

Having access to an accurate passport is a matter of safety and freedom.

We won’t allow the Trump administration to bulldoze our right to ID that reflects who we are.

Trump signs executive order to curtail gender transition for people under 19 Move is latest push by Trump to reverse policies set by the Biden administration to protect transgender people

Trans people have always been here. No executive order will change that.

Trying to coerce medical providers to stop life-saving care is an unprecedented abuse of federal power.

This will not take immediate effect, and the ACLU will not let this policy stand.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide.

This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.

The ACLU represents one of our best options for combating the unconstitutional policies of the current regime. I'm supporting the ACLU with a small monthly contribution. Every little bit helps.

gas demand. "That makes sense," says Heatmap's Robinson Meyer. "The United
States is, at the moment, producing more oil and gas than any country in world history.
The fossil fuel industry's problem isn't getting gas out of the ground, but finding people to sell it to. By suspending fuel economy and energy efficiency rules, Trump can force
Americans to use more energy
β€” and spend more on oil and gas β€” to do the same amount of useful work."

Why did Trump suspend energy efficiency and fuel economy rules? @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social explains: to create demand for oil and gas in an already saturated US market.

The Earth is basically fucked. Might we be able to pull off some degree of survival for our planet, the wildlife, the plants, the humans? Not if we don't take huge corrective action. Not if we keep doing shit like this.
