I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄
🧵More than three dozen professors, teachers and school staffers have been fired or suspended for posting about Charlie Kirk. One Illinois teacher was fired for posting Kirk's empathy quote. This is a map of where the firings have happened so far, with 200 more teachers under review in Texas alone.

Told I have to rewrite my Year 5 NIH budget without my Guatemala subaward due to the new federal law. Adding to the CONSORT flow diagram “lost to follow up” (reason=Trump cancellation of foreign awards, n=100)
So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

I never want to hear the word “beautiful” or the word “big” or the words “big & beautiful” used together ever again. Trump throws these around and in his parlance they mean awful, corroded, horrible, ruined, devastating, stupid, and on and on. This is big and beautiful.
Hawaii better hurry up and file a lawsuit because the fish can’t. This is another egregious example of Trump’s imperialist expansion. Thumbing his nose at the entire world. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/c...

A new executive order pits the United States against the rest of the world over the question of who can exploit mineral resources in shared waters.

I can’t believe REQUIRED broader impact statements are what gets flagged and are the reason grants are flushed. Stupid DOGE and their evil algorithms destroying science. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Exclusive: Trump team freezes new NSF awards — and could soon axe hundreds of grants
The National Science Foundation is the latest US agency to be disrupted by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

My Republican aunt whispered on the phone to me (lest my Republican uncle hear her) “it’s worse than I would have ever imagined. It’s a blitzkrieg. It’s unfathomable. I didn’t vote for this”. 100 days. 77,284,117 more Republican voters to go. I want to hear this from my Republican dad next.

Mark Follman@markfollman.bsky.social · 2y agoThis is further evidence of Hegseth potentially endangering the lives of American soldiers. The appropriate response from the US government would be to open a counterintelligence investigation and possibly a criminal one www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
I think it’s time for a massive 1960’s movement in the 2020’s — bring back the civil rights protests and the hippies singing their love and protest songs. Thinking of Gil Scot-Heron’s “Whitey on the Moon” and CSNY’s “Teach Your Children” and “Ohio”.

Yep. Can’t believe I am saying that about a conservative. Read The Atlantic.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
Crosswalks across Silicon Valley were hacked this weekend. Pressing the button now triggers a message impersonating Elon Musk—mocking him in the process. Videos have been circulating online all weekend. 😂
In other words we don’t know if the skies will be friendly or not while we fly through it due to “operational losses” — people fired by Trusk & Co
altNOAA 🇺🇸@altnoaa.bsky.social · 2y agoPilots should take note to use caution with all upper-level forecast products, including global models and CAMS, the rawinsondes (weather balloons) from Omaha/Valley are not happening, and as such, that data is missing in guidance products. Everything east of 96W affected.
