We're just going to leave this here…

SCIENTISTS: The proposed Schedule F is out. It has potential to undermine or destroy merit-based science. Rules/regulations have the force of law. This rule may put peer review in the hands of political appointees. Make your public comment here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

This is some sick shit

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

When empathy is called feminine and feminine is called the root of all evil, then you know it is a war on women… and everyone.

🚨 The Trump administration has made clear that it will not stop at the destruction and degradation of scientific research in the United States. It will also misrepresent, misinterpret, and bastardize it to achieve distinctly unscientific ends. www.wired.com/story/trump-... #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Trying my damned best to hold the line but starting to feel there is no line to hold.

All Hands meetings with Dept Secretaries lay out an administration’s vision, esp the 1st All Hands for a new Sec. Curious what Interior will be up to? Seems human employees will be replaced by supercomputers while we develop our parks for industry and release dodo birds & dire wolves to the wilds.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

Hands Off Peaceful Protest today in Anchorage, Alaska. Anchorage Daily News reporting >1000, independent estimates from the crowd put us closer to 3500-5000 representing a broad demographic.

Oh, this is gonna make the rounds. 🤡 #PenguinTariff 🐧

We're going back to the Hill next week--make YOUR voice a part of it! Use the QR code in the attached flyer to tell your representatives how you feel about foreign aid and the actions of this administration. The deadline is Tuesday night, April 8.

Although Trump and Musk insist they are fighting fraud, they have not yet provided evidence for their sweeping claims.

I know it's small in the whole scheme of things, but the bloodbath at NPS in Hawaii is almost certainly going to lead directly to the extinctions of no fewer than 4 native Hawaiian songbirds in the next 4-5 years.

This is a government takeover. The government is being dismantled. This is not a drill. (Don’t) Ask me how I know. Do share on platforms with broad reach. Wake the FORK up, America.

🚨🚨🚨 Urgent Message to Share WIDELY 🚨🚨🚨 Federal employees that are dismissed as part of the Musk & Trump assault should appeal on the grounds that they were fired for partisan political reasons‼️ ➡️ Make an appeal to MSPB following these procedures: www.mspb.gov/appeals/appe... 💪🏼👊🏼✊🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! I am lucky to know and work with so many bada$$ and talented women in sciences. (Including my friend KS, who keeps beaming that smile through the snottiest of maritime weather!)
