Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

No Effing Kings!

Dear protesters! This 👇🏼 is what we're, non-violently, fighting against. This is why it's important to be out there today, and every day until the evil and madness ends! You will prove to be on the right side of history, stay strong 👊🏼 Please make sure to take all necessary precautions! STAY SAFE ‼️

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced Saturday morning that state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband are dead, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife are wounded following a "politically motivated" shooting overnight. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

The United States... where so many "regular Joes" fight tooth and nail to avoid getting universal healthcare. Like crabs in a barrel, they're unwilling to allow our society to escape the hell of US 'healthcare' because, GASP! Maybe a brown person would also be getting it! The stupid, it burns.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

National Guards troops and Marines deployed to Los Angeles are “deeply troubled” about the assignment and feel like they have become “political pawns.” They’re sleeping on concrete floors with no beds, not enough toilets, no funds for food or water, and morale is low.

NEW: The Trump administration cut research funding that sought cures for future pandemics, examined the causes of dementia and tried to prevent HIV transmission. ProPublica heard from more than 150 researchers to understand the work that’s been lost.

Ananda Lewis' death makes me so sad and mad because it didn't have to happen so young. Homeopathy does not treat or cure breast cancer. She was misled by the pervasive misinformation around health and it cost her lief itself. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

What we value in CIVILIZATION: Agriculture, Architecture, the Arts, Transportation, Communication, Health, Wealth, Security. All pivot on enlightened investments in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, & Mathematics. "STEAM". Without them, we descend into the Dark Ages.

CDC purge continues, as worm-brain conspiracist RFK Jr. plows ahead with his campaign to get rid of vaccination experts. He lied to Congress about his anti-vax agenda, and now he's setting back U.S. healthcare for generations. Illness & death to ensue. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

This week I stood with Job Corps students to say HELL NO to Trump’s attempt to shut down this program—which would’ve put 25K of them out on the streets. A judge just blocked it—and that’s the right call. But they’ll try again. We must use our power given by the people to stop this rogue president.

Republicans are going to force 7.4 million Americans into hunger so billionaires can continue to write off the full cost of their private jets and yachts on their taxes. 8 of the 10 states hardest hit will be Republican states. Republicans call this "America First."

How does irresponsibly and capriciously shutting down Jobs Corp help America? 25,000 youths are suddenly out of a job and a place to live.

They are dismantling job corp for multiple reasons. Here is some: 1. They need higher enrollment in the military. 2. They need more marginalized people behind bars to lease out for slave labor. 3. Tax cut for the rich. 4. Cruelty.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Job Corp helps millions. 😒😡

** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult ** You follow one charismatic Leader. In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong. In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong. Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders. Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion. You don't know you're in a Cult

My life’s wisdom. Inspired by & dedicated to the memory of my father, Cyril DeGrasse Tyson - Civil Rights era sociologist. It's what conflicts & disagreements among us look like when you’re scientifically literate — sprinkled with a dose of Cosmic Perspective. neildegrassetyson.com/books/2022-0...

On this solemn day, we remember. #MemorialDay

I honestly never knew this. Thank you for educating me. This is just another example of how this country doesn't ACTUALLY want us to know our own history.

If The SENATE passes this bill, The Courts CANNOT hold him in contempt. HE.. CAN.. DO.. WHATEVER..HE.. WANTS..

Since 1975 (the past fifty years) global vaccination efforts have saved the lives of 154 million people, especially reducing infant deaths — by 40%. That’s greater than the total population of France + Germany. #ScienceMatters

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy. #ScienceMatters

They will NEVER silence us on the House Floor. Or anyplace else.

Trump promised not to touch Medicare. 24 hours and half a trillion dollars later, Republicans passed a bill that will slash Medicare. There's no line they won't cross.

If Republican Medicaid cuts become law: "Hospitals will close. Nursing homes will shut down. People will die. All to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history." - @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Cases of measles, salmonella, listeria, and hepatitis A and C have spread throughout the country. But since Trump's inauguration, CDC newsletters, health alerts about disease outbreaks, and other communications have largely stopped. "Make American Healthy Again."

Republicans don’t want you to know this, but they don’t just want to cut Medicaid or SNAP. They want to cut Medicare. Repost this so everyone know.

Unfamiliar with the role of science in America’s national defense, or the history of science innovation in the defense of sovereign nations? I invite you to start with, Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics & the Military. neildegrassetyson.com/books/2018-09-accessory-to-war/

Not that anyone asked, but during my tenure on the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board, under part of Obama-2 and all of Trump-1, we visited Military Bases domestically & abroad. At no time did any member of the Armed Forces I met say to me: “America needs less science funding.”

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Dear Republicans, Cutting science budgets has not historically been a Republican thing. For example, Lincoln created the National Academy of Sciences. Eisenhower's term increased the science budget 366%. Gerald Ford, +15%; George H. W. Bush, +30%; George W. Bush, +54%. Just sayin’.

Current and former officials say the current effort amounts to the dismantling of the civil rights division and its traditional mission.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

The “Star Wars” story “Andor” questioned the franchise’s good-and-evil dichotomy, @shirklesxp.bsky.social writes. The series also wasn’t afraid to blur the lines:

Wow. SWFT does not miss A short montage about the story of Luthen Rael from 'Andor,' the rebel spy-master hidden in plain sight as an art dealer, played brilliantly by Stellan Skarsgård. youtu.be/lbmN9jy5_Z0
