Inspired by Vietnam-era activism, Stand Up For Science is hosting a series of teach-ins around the USA this summer, focusing on the importance of science and science funding. I’m doing one May 30th in Silver Spring. Many of you should consider doing one too, and I’m happy to help you plan it 🦑🧪🌎

Naming the white conservative/fascist/supremacist definition of "efficiency." The thing they want efficient is not machines, nor systems. The thing they want efficient is us. Human beings. They want to get more from us and they want to pay less. www.the-reframe.com/our-purpose-...

Call your Congresscritters. In addition to hands down the best government social media account — @cpsc.gov —Consumer Product Safety Commission does necessary & important work and needs our support. I like consumer products that won’t poison, choke, immolate, irradiate, or electrocute me (etc)

Amazing. UHC shareholders are suing because after the CEO shooting, the company was “no longer willing” to use “aggressive, anti-consumer tactics” to generate the profits they were promised. A gift from the content gods.

They are banning books, threatening (?) a tax on films made outside the US. They know art matters. Why is president fool using AI to make images of himself as Pope, as Luke Skywalker? They go after the artists and writers. anyone "shitting" on art because we're in a crisis doesn't get the crisis.

Considering RFK Jr has expressed doubts about germ theory, this tracks. “The Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) crafted national standards for hand-washing, mask-wearing and isolating sick patients that most U.S. hospitals follow.”

As DOGE sucks up government data that Americans thought was confidential, RFK Jr. says people's privacy will be "protected" in his autism registry. I remember when Republicans pretended to be against big government. In fact, they just wanted it to be their big government.

🧵 10 years ago, after I had posted a few recipes on Twitter, I received virtually the same DM from 2 different Army lieutenants at different posts. Both were living in, FAIP, their first adult apartments, & wanted to eat something besides ramen & pizza. #CookingForLieutenants hatched from this.

Also, he’s the one requiring actually trials in federal court by making it a federal offense if an immigrant doesn’t register. That’s a trial that annoys federal judges, is a huge waste of time, and is designed to jack up the number of “criminal aliens.”
