As a professor at a minority serving institution, I panicked 2 months before graduation when I thought of this scenario. Luckily we were safe but Iām anger AF at all of this inhumane bs and especially thisā¦

We better fight like hell. As a prof at a CSU (who benefited greatly from a UC education) we are the largest 4 year higher ed system in the nation. Itās some wild stat, like 1 out of 6 people IN THE NATION have a degree from a CSU. Gavin already cut our budget š”, we certainly canāt handle this too

Nah, youāve already done the THING by leading with hope & possibility! Iāve been finding in my fight in the science/education world that people are very willing to stand up loud & proud when someone shows them a way! Youāve done that, inspired action, ppl jumped right in, itās only UP from here š«¶š¼šš¼šŖš¼š¤©

Also, at graduation, a student/future librarian from the School of Information gave the most powerful, inspiring, stand up for the right to information speech Iāve ever heard. We were on our feet cheering. I remain convinced librarians/libraries are the most radical sites of resistance & reimagining

Are you so proud of this?!! šš¼ I hope so! Your website, also, is amazing! The way this all came together, how you led with courage, integrity has inspired me greatly as I navigate the stealing of my/our NSF/NIH grants, gutting of science. Itās given me strength to fight like hell. THANK YOU! LFG!! šŖš¼š«¶š¼

Very valid worry, social media propaganda is in fact why weāre where we are today. Have you heard this? It blows my mind every time I listenā¦.and Iāve listened to it A LOT!

Yes! During my phd program, we saw graphs of racial equity gaps briefly close in all sectors (health, education etc) so Reagan cut EVERY SOCIAL SERVICE and the gaps grew exponentially. The Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) in the 90ās made it their mission to ensure only white Americans prosper

I could not figure out what he was saying??? Now I wish i didnāt know šµāš«š«©ā¦that with McMahonās Native appropriation reference, all in like 25 sec, as an educator, education is the answer!!!

I know, my comment was flippant but in reality Iām so angry, I had my NSF grants terminated, the inhumane treatment of federal workers whose lifeās work and expertise has kept us safe at NOAA, EPA, NIH etc, itās cruel and reckless. That said, as a science educator, stoked sheās into science!

I donāt know what weād do w/o your investigations, and also, how many more are out there.
āWhat we do is treat everybody like theyāre in here for murder,ā Bean told WPLN during a 2023 visit to the facility. āYou donāt have a problem if you do that.ā

How is she (younger kid) with hurricane predictions? Weāre going to need all science hands on deck this summer!

I was surprised all the hurricane names released the other day werenāt Latino/a sounding with stated tattoos. Was sure this cruel admin would get ICE involved (i.e. scary masked domestic terrorists) to deport/disappear them

It makes me furious that my super successful NSF CAREER grant supporting teachers/students as climate justice action researchers focused on local issues of urban and extreme heat was TERMINATED. Iām fighting like hell, and will find a way to continue, we must! Supporting community resilience is key!

Thomas has shown us how corrupt and cruel he is for decades. Is there any hope heāll face consequences? Weāre being gaslit, it feels like screaming into the void, on repeat, for years, and yearsā¦.

*malinformation (a new word I learned from the new anti-science NSF priorities). They told on themselves though, because itās true, intentionally misleading to cause harm!

Thank you for the thoughtful response. Sheās very successful but her self worth is trashed, from the outside they seem fine (heās manipulative/controlling, performs well). I got frustrated when she disrespected me to please him, and said so and she cut me out, I think itās shame but itās so painful

Any advice on how to support a close friend in an abusive marriage, and has a long history of abuse? I donāt judge or tell her to leave, just listen, advocate. Sheās shared major red flags that scare me, but if I say so she defends her partner and shoves me away. Itās like Iām watching her breakā¦

How are you graced with knowing what people voted for?? The messaging was entirely cruel and clear - campaign signs dehumanizing humans born in another country, Springfield eating their animals widely publicized BS, they voted for that guy, I just think the FO phase is much worse than expected

Cool that the experts on space travel who have actually been to the moon are being cut while Elon gets to continue blowing up his toy rockets weekly to try to break his big record of being airborne for more than 9 minutes

This is horrifying! How many humans are being trafficked and dehumanized on these flights? Is this all today? Is the tail # required (I know nothing about tracking flights)? Thank you for tracking!! Someone needs to make a visualization of this data!!!
