This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Crying as I write this. This is not normal. It's not okay. This is intentional mass starvation. World Central Kitchen can't cook meals because trucks of food are stuck at the border. People are shot when they try to get food aid. Journalists and doctors are collapsing from exhaustion and hunger.

Hooking up with my roller derby teammate is easily one of the most lesbian things I've done

honestly assaults against officers (a charge which is almost always bullshit, like you kick an officer while they’re tasing you) is a much better metric of officer aggression than it is of aggression towards officers

Autogynephilia, Junk Science, and Pseudoscience plus links to my academic articles, online essays, and explainers on the topic

since I see ppl posting pictures from a pseudoscience convention this morn, I will re-up this. Blanchard's theory of autogynephilia (read: his taxonomy & etiology) have been disproved by multiple research studies (see my reviews here):

Cry Like A Fag, Scream Like A Woman Cis men’s emotions — what they are, how they feel them, how they deal with them, what patriarchy expects from them — have been treated as…

“Cis men are not only allowed but encouraged to express any and all emotions under patriarchy. What they are actually discouraged from doing is expressing emotions in ways that do not serve to differentiate them from women and other marginalized genders.” butchanarchy.medium.com/cry-like-a-f...

It’s Gay Guy Spring

"Rosalinda Guillén, a farmworker and political activist in Skagit County, said Juarez is a 25-year-old farmworker and union organizer, and he was detained while driving his partner to her job in the flower fields. “He tried to defend himself by not speaking to them and refusing to get out of the car, and they broke his car window,” Guillén told KUOW."

No way this guy wasn't targeted...

ICE Arrests Pro-Palestinian Activist at Columbia Mahmoud Khalil, who recently completed a graduate program at Columbia, has legal permanent residency, his lawyer said.

The United States government just disappeared a lawful US resident because it didn't like his speech. You should care about this because it shouldn't happen to anyone, but you should also care because it could happen to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/n...
