A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Paxton is from the suburb I ended up in, and I have a great story about his crimes.
To all the administration officials violating the rule of law: we will hold you accountable. Whether you survive your current positions or not.
The data also reinforce a message that should be clear: American leadership in science and medical research requires far more than getting across the line on top-line budget negotiations and will require continued vigilance to track how HHS treats applications and existing awards.

O’hare, you awful airport, we meet again.
I do not know how you try to make an appeal to morality in a country that has done literally nothing to prevent the mass slaughter of its own children in its own schools.
Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.
Yes. A MILLION.
This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.
But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.
They can’t use CCR, can’t use the boss, so they use… a childish gambino track.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
NOT JUST THIS:
Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.
This could be a major night in NC.
What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.

Some Dems are getting this right. But Schumer and others are saying Trump must merely divulge more details about the Iran threat. This implies there might be a legitimate case for war that Trump just has to be more open about. There's zero reason to grant that. 3/

“Israeli strikes hit hospital in Tehran, witnesses tell Reuters”
Yesterday it was a school, today it is a hospital.
Yesterday children were buried under the rubble of their classrooms, today babies had to be moved from intensive care in their incubators.

Former New Mexico Attorney General Balderas details how the FBI forcefully shut down New Mexico's criminal probe into what was up at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe Co. The feds insisted that they were running their own criminal probe and that NM's involvement would not be tolerated. It was a lie.

February 28, 2026 Trump's actions this morning were unconstitutional and bear enormous consequences at home and abroad. The stakes of speaking out against this administration are higher and more urgent today than they were yesterday, which is exactly why we are taking to the streets on March 7th. We will keep you up-to-date on where things are transpiring with how we may be incorporating this into our planned actions, and we look forward to seeing you out on the 7th. We hope you join us to make our voices heard. Save science, protect health, and defend democracy, Colette STAND UP FOR SCIENCE
See you in the streets March 7th.

As Trump moves for war with Iran, the Democratic Party can’t even unite behind a war powers resolution to check his lawless foreign policy.
This is pathetic.
