"Retired federal Judge J. Michael Luttig—who is also a #conservative—slammed #Trump for declaring “war on the rule of #law in #America.” Luttig continued, saying: “The constitutional role of the president is to faithfully execute the #laws. Needless to say, the president is doing anything but that in the moment."

...That’s why we must push back against this administration"

Elon Musk Leaves Pentagon After Discussions About China & Tech

"That Musk would sit for any China-related meeting at all underscored the potential #conflicts of interest for him

#Musk... was going to receive the top-secret briefing on #China because he asked for one. He has a #security clearance but isn’t in the #military chain of command or known to be a military adviser to #Trump."

MARCH ON WASHINGTON
STOP THE GENOCIDE!
SATURDAY, APRIL 5 • 1pm • Washington D.C.

[The coalition includes #Palestinian Youth Movement, #Jewish Voice for Peace, and others]

"For over 16 months, #Gaza has endured a brutal, ongoing genocide carried out by #Israel with the full backing and support of the US government. Israel continued to violate the terms of the ceasefire reached on January 19th, breaking it over 980 times...

The movement against genocide in North America has risen time and time again in support of Gaza and will not rest now. The #Trump administration, building on the tactics of the Biden administration, is now increasing its attempts to silence pro- #Palestine, anti-genocide voices. "

Update. "US conference boycott urged after French scientist deported"
archive.is/Wxwdg

"Academics say they are increasingly wary of travelling to conferences in the US after a French scientist was deported over text messages critical of Donald #Trump’s cuts to research funding … Space scientist Mark Wieczorek [@mrak], director of research at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, part of CNRS, said the situation was “very troubling” and, despite being a dual US-French citizen, he now would “only go to the US for the case of a family emergency”…Given the French scientist in question is a “permanent researcher employed by CNRS”, it is “unlikely that this person is a radicalised terrorist and it is unlikely that their hatred of Trump is greater than mine as a US citizen,” continued Wieczorek."

"Trump’s administration is thinking about getting rid of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s division that focuses on HIV prevention and giving those responsibilities to the Department of Health and Human Services. There’s apparently another potential plan, a source told NBC News, that would cut up to $700 million from the #CDC’s HIV division."

If Keith Sonderling truly wanted to “ensure we preserve our country’s core values”, he would not be placing libraries “in lockstep with this Administration” and ordering them to “focus on patriotism” or “promote American exceptionalism”.

Ministry of Truth shit.

March 20, 2025 WASHINGTON – Deputy Secretary of Labor Keith E. Sonderling was sworn in as Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) today, after being appointed to the role by President Donald J. Trump. IMLS, an independent government agency, is the primary source of federal support for the nation's museums and libraries. “It is an honor to be appointed by President Trump to lead this important organization in its mission to advance, support, and empower America’s museums and libraries, which stand as cornerstones of learning and culture in our society. I am committed to steering this organization in lockstep with this Administration to enhance efficiency and foster innovation. We will revitalize IMLS and restore focus on patriotism, ensuring we preserve our country’s core values, promote American exceptionalism and cultivate love of country in future generations,” said Acting Director Sonderling. Sonderling was recently confirmed as Deputy Secretary of the Department of Labor, where he previously served as Acting and Deputy Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division. Most recently, he served as the Commissioner of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity from 2020-2024.

Update. "Researchers say the US government tried to erase sexual orientation from their findings"
abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireSt

"Two California researchers said Friday that a U.S. government health publication instructed them to remove data on sexual orientation from a scientific manuscript that had been accepted for publication… Instead of complying, the researchers withdrew their paper from _Public Health Reports_, the official journal of the U.S. Surgeon General and U.S. Public Health Service."

From @mmasnick: "Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand #Trump A #Censorship Machine"
techdirt.com/2025/03/21/democr

"The fundamental problem here is that these Senators don’t understand what #Section230 actually does — or how its repeal would make their stated goals harder to achieve… Here’s what repealing Section 230 would actually do: remove the law that explicitly protects websites when they resist government pressure to censor speech. Without those protections, the Trump administration would have far more leverage to force platforms to remove content they don’t like — whether that’s criticism of Trump, exposure of corruption, or information about voting rights. It can also allow them to pressure websites to host pro-MAGA or pro-Nazi content that sites might not wish to associate with."
