WTF are we doing to ourselves

Same! Hard to believe.

🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨 WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people. 4 artists & 3 scientists collab'd on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic. Get 'em Squidfacts.bigcartel.com

Funny, that's almost exactly the entire NIH budget 🤔

Newark, Delaware- #handsoff more than double the number expected!

Delusional.

Breaking WaPo: Members of Trump's National Security Council, including national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by WaPo and interviews with three U.S. officials. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

AP is banned by Trump from WH pool, while this is happening:

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

The outsider’s perspective

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Looks like we are deporting innocent men to the Salvadoran gulag for having tattoos in Spanish that say things like "strong like my mom" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

A French University is funding a Safe Place For Science program meant to recruit scientists who cannot continue their work in the US. www.univ-amu.fr/fr/public/a...

Welcome to Donald Trump’s America, where First Amendment lawyers find themselves compelled to advise people that they have no First Amendment rights.

My quilt, “The Price of Democracy”, a statement about how some people used the price of eggs as an excuse not to vote for a woman president in the year 2024, knowing that the other choice would try to destroy democracy here and abroad. #craftavism #politiquilt #eggquilt #artquilt #modernquilting

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

tired of people treating trump like he is anything other than an ego-driven simpleton (i wrote this, this is a piece about why he is nothing more than an ego driven simpleton.)

RFK Jr. ends transparency policy, cancels public meeting after openness vow arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

I keep seeing people saying he’s backing down when what I’m seeing is a man manipulating the stock market for his cronies.

If you're curious how a democracy transitions from a free press to state-run media, this is the kind of step you'd expect to see.

“The end of DEI is bad, but I know plenty of talented people of color who will be fine in a meritocracy”—no. “Merit” is intentionally subjective, defined entirely by the holders of power. Ask POC who have spent their lives in white-run schools and workplaces whether acing the test is ever enough.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

It is an unfortunate fact—and one the US and the world is about to viscerally learn through the Trump administration—that competence is required to fix things, but not to break them.

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

I just love that they’ve decided that Egg and Poultry inspection funding deserves to be frisée and reviewed as the avian flu continues to spread. Love this for us.

Terrifying

Democrats should not vote on a single Trump cabinet nominee until this federal assistance freeze is rescinded. Do not let up.

It’s opening night for Hamlet! Working on this show has been such a satisfying artistic journey. Love this cast, crew and the terrific production team. youtu.be/8KQUErw6TEM?...
