Welcome to Trump Tracker: Probationary workers at health agencies being fired today Follow President Donald Trump’s impact on U.S. research and science globally

The wrecking ball is moving so fast that @science.org has its very own Trump Tracker to keep track of the damage done to scientists, research, and human health

Trump and his administration are now deciding how deep a rift to make in America’s scientific firmament. How long it takes to repair the damage, or whether that will be possible at all, depends on the extent of the damage they inflict now.

Years and maybe decades after the fact, we'll still be uncovering shady shit Musk's people are doing right now

Elon Musk’s team has gotten access to the Treasury Department’s payments system. (Gift Article)

Again “Elon Musk’s team” is literally just some guys. They’re not government officials and no one elected them and no congressional committee approved them. This is a smash and grab, out in the open.

Musk’s DOGE Accused of Seizing Sole Control of Essential Federal Databases “Congress famously has the power of the purse,” wrote one analyst, “but it looks like DOGE is trying to snatch it.”…

Musk should go to federal prison for years for this. Just like any other non-government employee without any sort of clearance would be if they took control of this information. truthout.org/articles/mus...

Journalists scramble to respond to CDC web purge of LGBTQ+ data While the data may be restored, any likely revision impacts all journalists, and more importantly, the communities they serve across their beats.

A thoughtful summary and good reporting from James Salanga at The Objective: objectivejournalism.org/2025/01/as-t...

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

Did you know that Christians who take the actual Bible seriously are often on the front lines of climate action?

I know this may be a surprising & jarring claim in the US, where “evangelical” has become synonymous with opinions + positions completely at odds w/ Christian theology.

Here’s why:

South Korea’s President Yoon Is Indicted President Yoon Suk Yeol will stand trial along with his former defense minister and others who participated in his short-lived imposition of martial law.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Every other social media app is owned by evil little freaks so this has to be the Big Tent website that welcomes everyone else. People who don't understand jokes. People who know it's a joke but still think it's Harmful. "To be fair," guys. Put up a statue of liberty here but it's on the computer

Hundreds of Subreddits Are Considering Banning All Links to X Dozens of big subreddits have already banned all Twitter links, and posts about potential bans are some of the most popular on the site.

New from 404 Media: hundreds of subreddits, including some of the most popular, are considering banning all links/content/screenshots from X/Twitter. r/NFL, r/hockey, r/baseball, r/nba, r/formula1, r/ComicBookMovies, r/MadeMeSmile, so many more. Some already have. www.404media.co/hundreds-of-...

This happening will suck, but it doesn’t mean it’s all over or even that this is guaranteed to go into effect. We will fight, continue to exist, etc.

I could do without Bari Weiss, et al., writing about this in such a valedictory tone, like these fuckers aren’t coming for her marriage.

Do not forget your humanity 🙏🏾👍🏾

I usually post about sharks and such.

Photo of a small crab from NOAA’s social media. It’s covered in spikes

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

It was just as cold for Obama's inauguration in 2009, fyi.

So upsetting that a guy who has changed his look to this on purpose has any kind of influence over anything. Should not be allowed
