"If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky."

Bone soul rage at their petty and foolish inept attempts to bully their way to seizing the mineral wealth of an ally. The most craven and stupid attempt at colonial extraction.

45 says he’s gambling with WW3, as if Zelenskyy hasn’t been in an existential hot war larger than any since WW2 for three years and hasn’t also been personally targeted. As if WW3 wasn’t more of a 45 issue than Zelenskyy’s. He’s in it, Zelenskyy’s facing it.

Guess we should be thankful that when the US tyrant did finally show up - he's a fucking idiot, twice as dangerous to the empire than the rest of us.

United States has some very talented people, imagine if one of their best became dictator - an evil Obama. It'd be scary as fuck.

Instead, it's this moron. Small mercies.

#uspol


By throwing a tantrum, Trump's just ensured Europe - and many other like-minded nations - get fully behind Ukraine, above and beyond commitments already made.

Guarantee it. Public support for Zelenskyy and his people is going nuts. And it's awesome. 🇺🇦

Meanwhile, US softpower further evaporates and that will have severe ramifications economically and politically.

How Musk likes to see himself: the Master of Master Blaster. He would do well to remember how this character met his end.

Musk has indicated on X that he thinks he's ready for a post-apocalyptic world, showing a picture of Max next to his car in Mad Max 2. This is much closer to how he would survive. Riding on the back of useful idiots while living in a world of darkness and shit.

Edit: Sorry, I wasn't happy with the helmet's shadow on Trump's face - or rather, the lack of one. #Nitpick

Edit2: Sorry again, there was no shadow on Musk's face, either. It looked too flat. A bit better now. Last edit, I promise. 😁

Was today's capitulation to Russia by the alleged President of the US the end of the Cold War?

Because it sure looks like Russia won that one.

A D after a politician’s name still means the same thing.

An R now means Russian.

I’ve already gotten rid of most of my US company subscriptions and services. Working out how to get rid of the rest in the coming weeks. Tiny drops add up to a mighty storm. #USPol #Protest


As expected, TrumpTV (doing business as Fox News) is very busy polishing the turd, a big, beautiful turd, the likes of which we've never seen before.

Even bigger then the one in Jurassic Park.

The rest of the fully rancid fascist media are doing verbal violence with Zelensky "obliterated", "light up" etc.

Gaza Deal, going nowhere
Ukraine Deal, storming away from the White House as we speak

"Trump accuses Zelensky of 'gambling with World War Three' in tense White House meeting. Trump calls his Ukrainan counterpart "disrespectful" & tells him to be "thankful" as they meet in the Oval Office.

We're routing for Pres Zelensky. He's being treated like trash by Trump.

Trump fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., only the second Black Joint Chiefs chairman, replacing him with a little-known retired general. Six Pentagon officials were dismissed, including top Navy and Air Force leaders.

Let's see how well it goes.

Don't have much confidence in American public, even a day without buying shit is too much of a sacrifice for majority of them.

I really hope they prove me wrong, even though a day won't do shit in reality, it requires consistent and long term actions to really hurt these oligarchs.

Warning...warning...warning

Conservative lawyer George Conway said Trump’s bold changes to the federal government reveal an effort to “destroy” its institutions and exact “revenge” on the country.

“This is an attempt — basically, Donald Trump wants to have revenge on the United States of America,”
- George Conway

Legendary #WashingtonPost Editor, #MartyBaron, Slams #Bezos for ‘Betraying’ Paper with #MAGA Makeover

Fmr WaPo executive editor Marty Baron condemned #JeffBezos’ revamp of the paper’s #opinions section in a statement to the Daily Beast, saying he was “sad & disgusted” by the #billionaire’s demands.

After the end of WWII, Holocaust survivors returning to their countries found their homes occupied by others, many of whom refused to leave, essentially stealing the property of those who suffered most.

Now the #Israeli monsters do the same to #Palestinians across the #WestBank. This is who #Biden supported.

Maybe, after all, #TumpGaza is not a crazy idea coming out of the blue, but business as usual with stolen #Palestinian property.

Update. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (#ICMJE) has updated its guidance in light of recent actions by the #Trump administration.
https://www.icmje.org/news-and-editorials/icmje_guidance_notice.html

"If authors request removal or addition of an author after manuscript submission or publication, journal editors should seek an explanation and signed statement of agreement for the requested change from all listed authors including the author to be removed or added…Corrections are warranted for errors of fact that should have been recognized at the time of publication. Matters of debate and evolving science and methods are not errors. Retraction of published work is generally reserved for errors serious enough to invalidate results and conclusions and/or when there is scientific misconduct.."

Update. An editorial in #JAMA and the #JAMANetwork.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2830748?guestAccessKey=47e4b56b-8f69-4ff3-a26e-3a66a88b2c67&linkId=753250407

"Some authors of scientific works in process have had to remove their names from publications for these publications to proceed; others have chosen to pause or withdraw their publications. While some of these actions are directly related to the executive order to #HHS employees to cease communications, many have been undertaken preemptively by authors who are not subject to the order but are presumably fearful of the challenges of communicating complex findings in this current environment. Some authors are engaging in anticipatory compliance by scrubbing from their manuscripts words they fear may be deemed, in the moment, politically unacceptable…We remain steadfast in our guidance to authors and readers across the JAMA Network journals and endorse and adhere to the standards set by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors [#ICMJE]…We will act flexibly, where appropriate, to ensure that censoring efforts will not silence the integrity of the scientific process or clear communication of scientific information important for health."

Update. From @karenhao: "The foundations of America’s prosperity are being dismantled"
https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1112274/the-foundations-of-americas-prosperity-are-being-dismantled/

"[Scientists] warn that dismantling the behind-the-scenes scientific research programs that backstop American life could lead to long-lasting, perhaps irreparable damage to everything from the quality of health care to the public’s access to next-generation consumer technologies. The US took nearly a century to craft its rich scientific ecosystem; if the unraveling that has taken place over the past month continues, Americans will feel the effects for decades to come."

Update. From @neuralreckoning: "Science must step away from nationally managed infrastructure"
https://www.thetransmitter.org/policy/science-must-step-away-from-nationally-managed-infrastructure/

"Scientific data and independence are at risk. We need to work with community-driven services and university libraries to create new multi-country organizations that are resilient to political interference."

Update. "PLOS [@PLOS] statement on recent US Executive Orders and scientific integrity"
https://theplosblog.plos.org/2025/02/plos-statement-on-recent-us-executive-orders-and-scientific-integrity/

"We are deeply concerned about a range of recent US Executive Orders that collectively have the potential to dismantle the US scientific enterprise as it has existed for the past 70 years…We will not approve changes to terminology or removal of data that compromise the scientific accuracy of content. Requests to remove legitimate authors from manuscripts violate our authorship policies which are grounded in principles of credit, accountability and transparency…We are actively working to understand the evolving implications of these directives and the disruption they have brought…We remain dedicated to the advancement of #OpenScience."

Update. "Outcry as Trump withdraws support for research that mentions ‘climate’ "
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/21/trump-scientific-research-climate

"The #Trump administration is stripping away support for scientific research in the US and overseas that contains a word it finds particularly inconvenient: “climate”…Trump, who has said that the climate crisis is a “giant hoax”, has already stripped mentions of climate change and global heating from government websites."

Update. "Journalism organizations call for restoration of public data."
https://www.nasw.org/article/journalism-organizations-call-restoration-public-data

"Leaders of five #journalism organizations, including the National Association of Science Writers and representing more than 7,000 members in the United States and abroad, sent the following letter to the heads of eight U.S. federal agencies that have recently removed public datasets and databases funded by Americans’ tax dollars."

#Censorship #Data #DefendResearch #OpenData #Takedowns #Trump #USPol #USPolitics


Update. Although the #Trump admin is firing scientists, "some science leaders argued [that it's] not specifically targeting research. 'Science seems to be collateral damage to these [downsizing] efforts that are almost random, by date of hire or date of promotion,' says Sudip Parikh, CEO of #AAAS…'It’s not strategic. It’s not based on the needs of the future, the needs of science.'"

PS: My take: Some of the destruction targets research he opposes for political reasons, like #climate research. But much of the rest is semi-random pillaging to show numbers (positions cut, dollars saved). This is evident from the growing number of firings, in a growing number of departments, that Trump and #Musk later try to rescind.

I just signed this petition and hope you will too.

"We call on governments, funding bodies, academic institutions, and international organizations to:
1. Protect Scientific Freedom: Ensure that research funding decisions are made based on scientific merit, not political ideology.
2. Stop Censorship in Public Health and Environmental Science: Allow government scientists to communicate freely with the public and publish research without political interference.
3. Preserve Open Access to Data: Governments must not delete, withhold, or manipulate scientific data that serves the public good...."

Update. From @mayank_mchugh and @JACoates at @force11: "Science is Under Siege: The Open Science Community Must Act and Lead by Example"
https://upstream.force11.org/open-science-call-to-act/

"The new US administration has thrown the entire academy into chaos, threatening global health. This article is a call for the #OpenScience community to practice what it preaches and lead by example in defending science…The only viable line of defence against such rapid and intense attacks is transparency and a heightened rigour. And it is here that the open science community has a unique and essential role in this very moment."

Update. From @alicejmeadows: "Declaration To #DefendResearch Against US Government Censorship"
https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/02/19/declaration-to-defendresearch-against-us-government-censorship/

"Much of the resistance to the Trump administration’s efforts to censor research and researchers is happening at the grassroots level, including this Declaration To Defend Research Against US Government Censorship, instigated by Lisa Schiff, together with Catherine Mitchell, Sara Rouhi, Peter Suber, and myself [Alice Meadows]. Like many of those who are protesting against these growing threats to research, we are acting in a personal capacity, rather than on behalf of our organizations. As members of the scholarly communication community, we believe that researchers must be freely able to conduct, collaborate on, share, review, and discuss their research…I very much hope that you’ll join the 1,000 plus who have already signed."

#Censorship #Takedowns #Trump #USPol #USPolitics


Update. US space scientists have written an open letter to #NASA and #Congress.
https://sites.google.com/view/space-science-for-everyone

"Almost all of our work as space scientists is funded by U.S. taxpayers, and we have a responsibility to oppose actions that limit the reach of our work to the public… Following NASA’s request, all AG [Analysis/Assessment Group] websites and the important, labor-intensive study reports, science goals documents, and other resources hosted on those websites are indefinitely unavailable to the communities who did this work and to the general public…We ask that all those in decision-making positions unequivocally condemn and act to reverse recent attacks on scientific integrity, federal grant funding for scientific research, and initiatives that broaden public participation in science."
