New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. š§µ

Vought believes that if you're not one of the 10% of Americans who adhere to white christian nationalism, you are damned to hell and god will smite you and heĀ āĀ Russell Vought āĀ deserves to see you punished. Perhaps this explains his penchant for traumatizing federal employees.
Palanitir's Project Maven is responsible for killing 150 innocent school girls in Iran.
Here is Palantir's manifesto:
"We're doing it! We're doing it! ... Palantir is here to disrupt... to scare our enemies and on occasion kill them and we hope you're in favor of that..."

No, but possibly a better guess because Chris Chambers is too old (correct)?

Impeach Russell Vought! In his role as Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Vought is the central architect driving the destruction of your government.
Reason #2 for the destruction of NSF (and other science agencies): hateful white christian nationalist troll Russ Vought

Russ Vought specifically calls out USAID as something he's proud of (illegally) dismantling. The cut foreign aid has likely already killed hundreds of thousands of people and will eventually kill millions.
True regarding VTC. Table S1 (p. 60 of the supplement) has MNI coordinatesā¦
Report the president using:

Trump signed an executive disorder prohibiting this behavior. Report him using email. submit any instance of anti-Christian discrimination to Anti-ChristianBiasReporting.@va.gov . Submissions should include sufficient identifiers e.g. names, dates, locations.

Very impressive study. I wondered what you thought of this new paper:
www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The last time I tried to engage with Jay Bhattacharya in dialogue I ended up on administrative leave. š¤·āāļø
Maybe you should invite one of the many people podcast Jay censored, you know, to spark productive conversations across divides.

This is what comes from cadre of white, Christian evangelical leaders who adopt nationalism rather than faith; from legacy media ignoring Trumpās mental and physical decline; from bastardization of Wa Post and CBS; from GOP abdicating constitutional functions. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Itās obvious that science has ALREADY been infiltrated by politics. But not only politicsā¦ RELIGION is being used to guide funding decisions.

Great recommendation! I watched it tonight
The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...
National Institutes of Health (NIH) (ā$5 billion). NIH broke the trust of the American people with wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research, and the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health. At the program level, the Budget requests $41 billion for NIH research and proposes reforms to NIH, including the elimination of the following Institutes or Centers (IC): National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, which is replete with DEI expenditures, such as research studying how āstructural racismā impacts social connectedness among āgender minority people of colorā and comparing sexually transmitted infections in ātransgender womenā Fogarty International Center (FIC), which has funded Masterās degree programs in foreign countries, such as Serbia and India, at the expense of Americans. FIC has also wasted money by surveying how Buddhism creates āHIV-stigmaā in Thailand and evaluating āFriendship Benchesā for women who use methamphetamine in Vietnam; and National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, which has funded research on āracial and ethnic disparitiesā in back pain therapies and on āmindfulness-based interventionā on HIV risk and āmental and sexual healthā among āyoung men who have sex with men.ā
Here's the full Trump-Vought FY27 budget proposal. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
It lists NIH as "-$5 billion" with a top line budget of $41B.
The math doesn't math tho bc FY26 budget was $48.7, making $41B a $7.7B (not $5B) cut.
Also calls to eliminate NIMHD, FIC & NCCIH.
He's such a hateful troll. And he must be stopped!
