Bear, the corgi, and I kickoff the @roots of change summer podcast series with literal waves crashing in!

We touch on major news events that touch on the same root. Ultimately, our many crises are the same thing. In this week's podcast, we discuss how we organize against the root of our crises.

Cartoonish contempt for freedom of the press.

The flagship journal of the American Diabetes Association (#ADA) just published an editorial criticizing the #Trump admin for attempting to "Dismantle and Destroy Biomedical Research in the United States."
https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/49/6/901/164764/Misguided-Brushes-of-a-Pen-Continue-to-Dismantle

At an ADA conference yesterday, some members tried to pass out copies of the editorial just before #NIH Director #JayBhattacharya was scheduled to speak. They were blocked by security and escorted out of the building by police. The ADA had requested the police. Bhattacharya cancelled his talk.

PS: What's going on at the ADA? The editorial had a disclaimer saying that it only represented the views of the authors, not the association. But the association had the courage to publish it. Then the association blocked its distribution, at its own conference, even calling in the police. Does it support free speech, even in support of science? Or not? And why can police stop peaceful scientists from handing out an editorial, even at an event sponsored by the group publishing the editorial?

Stochastic Terrorism I would imagine. The political violence like they have over there, where the Regime lives on army bases they're so afraid of the public...

'He tried to wrap his mind around the idea of another four years of Trump, and around the incongruity of a so-called law-and-order president, hours into his second term, pardoning people who had attacked cops with weapons that included knives, Tasers, bear spray, pepper spray, lumber, bicycle racks, a cattle prod, a sledgehammer, a ladder, a flagpole, a baseball bat, a hockey stick, and a fire extinguisher.'

Kinda jarring hearing a snippet of Kegsbreath's D-day speech on NPR. "Shouldn't you be mourning the loss of your reich?" I'm thinking...

And shouldn't such an important occasion merit a speech by the actual commander in chief? Was he not up to it?
