🚨 BREAKING: Shocking testimony reveals how Trump’s controversial #DOGE initiative decided which federal research grants lived — and which were wiped out.

According to sworn testimony, federal research funding was canceled by people with no expertise, no training, and no peer-review experience.

I watched the Netflix dinosaur documentary and while visually, it’s incredible, there’s something I really miss about old Dino documentaries.

You know what that is?

Interviews with paleontologists who explain the dinosaur we are seeing on screen—and why we know what we know about it.

So many of us on the academic and research side of countering fascism and authoritarianism tried to warn of this exact thing all of last spring and summer only to be called accelerationists or doomers by the public and pundits.

It’s good to see people finally talking about this openly.

Fuck Starbucks. Also there is literally better coffee every 5 feet in Seattle. D better losers.

“A DOJ job — a lifetime goal for countless lawyers until the past year — has become a job where embarrassing errors, at best, are regularly making it into court filings and where a constant question is whether a judge is going to threaten you with contempt …”

Arguably, everything they've done for years is intentional and they've succeeded. Who is to say they aren't doing this intentionally? They want chaos, markets fluctuating, oil sources controlled, fertilizer controlled, causing world chaos. Mass famine, vaccine elimination, healthcare overpriced.

The Iran war: Potential food security impacts Problems in the Strait of Hormuz reverberate globally.

Missing a growing season = hunger. They thought nothing through.

“Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman are large fertilizer exporters, particularly of urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP), and anhydrous ammonia. Some estimates suggest that as much as 1/3 of global fertilizer trade could be affected.“

Or they thought it all the way through. Everything has been intentional for years.

That's your opinion like mine. Mind your own business.

The removal of federal protections, put in place in the early 1970s via Public Land Orders 5150 and 5180, will make way for a takeover by the state of #Alaska and open these lands to #mining claims and other activities.

All of this.

It doesn’t seem like Trump gamed this out very well ahead of time.

It is admittedly hilarious that crude cleaned out all the shorts Sunday night, spent three days doing nothing, and is now flying again on the news that the US is going to release one-third of what’s left in the SPR.

We are so fucked.

Worthless scum of the earth.

In the next few weeks..... 🤡

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran.
Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes:
www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

Bernie Sanders: "You pay a lot in taxes."

Leena-Kaisa Mikkola: "93% of people in Finland feel paying taxes is an important civic duty. When we pay, we get something in return. When I retire, it's guaranteed I don't have to live in poverty."

Images depicting the vast differences between $10,000, $1 million, $100 million, $1 billion, and $1 trillion. Study it. $1,000,000 is nothing to a billionaire.

President Macron making the case for renewables in light of the US-Israeli attack on Iran,

"Everything we do to move towards transition is also about reducing our dependence and therefore our exposure to geopolitical risks"

Right. Think of oil and gas as international blood. Why subject your country to international blood supply that is THE lifeline for nearly 100% of large economies. The Sun is (currently) not controlled, governed, subsidized by global oligarchs. Go solar asap. Eliminate fossil fuels. Fukk oligarchs.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

In the middle of a war with gas prices spiking, Trump’s main priority today is to campaign in the district against the Republican who got the Epstein files released.

Deposition of Epstein’s accountant Richard Kahn. Names 5 rich powerful men who paid for Epstein’s enterprise. This is beyond disturbing that these men would finance abusing girls and get away with it. Their moral depravity is outrageous.

Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded $11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with the briefing. The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation, such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first week. Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war. That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each day. The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.

Another hush money payment.
