Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Maya Sen@mayasen.bsky.social

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy Harvard & others must counter this quickly The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

let’s hear from the whistleblowers

Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

what is the supposed goal of this meeting?

And of course even Americans who pay little attention to the news have some familiarity with the history of Israel and Palestine, but most Americans have no idea what's happening in El Salvador, don't know that Trump is about to meet with a brutal dictator, and therefore may well get fooled tomorrow

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck any American President who finds out an innocent man was mistakingly deported to an El Salvador prison and doesn’t IMMEDIATELY demand that man be IMMEDIATELY returned to America. And btw, fuck any American President who’s ok with deporting ANYONE without due process.

1. Major victory in Montana. 17 Republicans crossed party lines after a strong speech from Representative Howell to defeat a bill that would have charged parents, even those passing through the state, with felony child endangerment for their trans youth. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill. Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors. Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

:: BREAKING NOW: Multiple polling places across Milwaukee are running low or have run out of ballots as turnout is at record levels. MKE Election Commission is aware and sending out fresh ballots. If you are in line -- or know someone who is -- ballots are on the way.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but to become a naturalized US citizen, an immigrant green card holder must ALREADY pass a high school level test on American history and civics. Most native-born Americans would fail the test if they had to take it

More dictator shit

The Affordable Care Act became law 15 years ago today - what a godsend for our family! My daughter was diagnosed with thyroid cancer right after high school. She was able to undergo surgery, radiation therapy, and followups thanks to insurance coverage till age 26. She’s 6 years cancer free! 💝

trump doesn’t read books , has no intellectual curiosity, so he could care less

Trump & MAGA - Keep ‘em dumb. Knowledge is power. Republicans don’t want you educated because they know you’d never vote for an agenda as awful as theirs if you’d developed critical thinking skills and had the ability to fact-check all their lies. Just one more step towards full on fascism.
