Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

"We were born of stars, and in death, we will return to them. Let's not strive to be black holes in the meantime. Let's illuminate the world instead of darkening it, instead of tearing it to pieces. Let's prove we are worthy of being stardust." Courtney M. Privett

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday 📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

One of Casey Means' most harmful lies is that the NIH doesn't investigate the underlying causes of disease. That's just not true. Let's look at just one example, the NIH-supported Framingham heart study that revolutionized our understanding of heart health.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Important SCOTUS Reminder: Bush and his DOJ argued that habeas corpus did not apply to Guantanamo because it was outside US territory. The SC later ruled in Boumediene v. Bush that detainees at Guantanamo have a right to habeas corpus, even though the base is not US sovereign territory.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

So we’re 75 days into trumps second term, people are protesting everywhere. Markets have had two days of absolutely apocalyptic losses. There are grad students being disappeared and a man with an autism awareness tattoo was sent to a super scary prison in El Salvador. They’ve cut cancer research..

Not even the bad guys are cool in our version. At least Darth Maul had some sense of self-reflection when shit got real.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

When Dutch Grown, a company in the Netherlands, learned about the devastation of Swannanoa parks in NC by hurricane Helene, they sent over 10,000 spring bulbs and stated "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. That belief is our gift to Western North Carolina." Today they are in bloom.

NEW: The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines. By @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

"It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends screaming: "Let me out!" ---- "Love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night & love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves This is our last dance." ---- Hang in there. Don't give up.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory and UConn Health have successfully discovered a molecular switch that can actually SHUT DOWN cancer growth signals and STOP tumor growth at the RNA LEVEL. The discovery could pave the way for a groundbreaking RNA-based multi-cancer treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

Vaccines do not cause autism. If you need a quick reference to studies that disprove this relationship: Commentary, how we got here: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Meta-analysis synthesizing the results from studies on almost 1.3 million children: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools. I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

While this is bad, the main euro manufacture (egg based) and the us manufactures with mRNA based vaccines with confer with the WHO on strains of interest. Also note: the mRNA vaccines had more efficacy this season (in the US) and take far less time to stand up a supply.

THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️
