#FucktRump

When jobs are eliminated, so is consumerism. Not sure it’s going to work in the favor of companies and oligarchs in the long term.
Yes they do
"Trump is not the architect of the Iran war, only its vehicle."
On who's really in charge:

“This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years,” Netanyahu said as the war began, thanking “the United States, my friend, US President Donald Trump, and the US military.”

Huge NYT article on the back story of those two weeks in March/April 2025 when DOGE illegally terminated hundreds of NEH grants. Gift link!!
www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/a...
...acting chairman. Mr. McDonald, a veteran of the agency, agreed to let DOGE terminate them, creating what he later described as a “clean slate” for Mr. Trump’s “America First” agenda."
That is insane.
"Mr. McDonald is still at the agency. On Feb. 4, Mr. Trump nominated him as the permanent chair, a position that requires Senate confirmation."
Also, wow, this McDonald fellow at the agency who had been there for years and just rolled over. What a betrayal.
As evidence, the filing notes a list Mr. Fox compiled of what he called the "craziest" and "other bad" grants, which he planned to highlight on DOGE's X account. He used three dozen keywords, including "L.G.B.T.Q.""BIPOC," "tribal, "ethnicity," "gender," "equality," "immigration "citizenship" and "melting pot." (A majority of the two dozen grants deemed "craziest" related to L.G.B.T.Q. subjects.) In the deposition, Mr. Fox said the list reflected his "subjective" judgment about whether a grant might be out of line with Mr. Trump's executive order. "Crazy' is one way of saying it," he said. "Most incriminating' is another way."
Why did I think they simply canceled all of them. Nope it was discriminatory
These cancellations were so much more horrible for other people than for me personally, as my fellowship was coming to an end. Huge losses to hundreds of people and dozens of long term projects and ongoing relationships. The loss to humanities has been incalculable
Here is the spreadsheet DOGE had ChatGPT produce, to determine which grants were too DEI www.historians.org/wp-content/u...

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below
My employer Canterbury Shaker Village lost a small NEH grant. I wrote it. I used words such as "equality" and "citizenship." The same words were used in CHATGPT to cancel grants.
The same words are in the nation's founding documents.
🇬🇧 The view from @lbc.co.uk across the pond: “If Trump started this conflict to divert attention from the Epstein Files, it’s not working… you have to ask what Netanyahu & Putin have on him… Netanyahu played Trump like a fiddle…”
In the last week, under the Trump administration:
- Trump started an illegal war against Iran
- Trump fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and replaced her with another loyalist
- The Department of Homeland Security obstructed its own inspector general’s investigation

somebody in this thread had the impression that I was discounting expertise overall, which I can understand
I think expertise is important, I love expertise
but not all expertise is beneficial

Just so everyone is clear, Iran announced that they would no longer target neighboring countries unless an attack originates from them or they provide "space, facilities, or capabilities" to the US/Israel. The US has bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey.
