While the attacks on science are horrific, there are A LOT of good people that are losing their jobs because of Trump/Elon. Let's try NOT to belittle all the other government employees, especially those with significant implications on today.
We started anproject to capture and copy ALL relevent scientific data, because fascists are prone to book burnings or in this case deleting/corrupting data.
Allies, we need to get out of states of shock. We can all read the news. We need to plan & share actions. Let’s repost ACTION ideas! Example-anyone can do the attached-boycott as long & often as you can. Will you repost? Let’s stop reposting their sh*t like they want. $$ Boycott multiple times!
DOGE workers aren’t protected from personal liability.
Sue the individuals for unlawful firing. Lawyer up Federal workers. File class action lawsuits. Ruin these tech bros lives.
Science leads to learning and this administration is dead set against anyone learning anything. They want blind faith followers, not someone who can think for themselves. Trump wants a cult.
Trump thinks scientific research was actually science fiction, and said'' That's one thing we don't need, they've made a lot of science fiction movies''
Some of them do understand the need for science , which is why they're trying to kill it. They want drones with high(white )birth rates to replace the ones killed by disease.
You don't need science if a Sky Daddy will save you.
The U.S. has a Speaker of the House that stated straight up, the Constitution is irrelevant because he follows Gods direction.
The Johnson should pray harder for the kids in Taxes with measles or could it be, God does not like Texas kids
The reckless cost cutting is the stuff of tantrums, destruction, not the product of careful deliberation, constructive accountability or creative thought.
It’s the equivalent of firing bullets into a Stradivarius violin in vainglory hopes of improving the sound.
I’ve always respected scientists because I’m not smart enough to be one. And now everything they try to warn us about seems to be rejected. I just don’t understand how we became so stupid.
We live in a nation where science is attacked by uneducated chimpanzees using smartphones that wouldn’t exist without science.
It’s is almost hilarious… except for all the people who die from the dumb.
I once saw a flat earth convention ad that read, “…the best flat earth convention on the globe.”
Tbh, not surprised! Being educated is looked down upon here. Science goes against their core beliefs - political, economic or religious and they will never accept facts. This mentality has been nurtured, reinforced and used for political gains with malice and without a thought for any consequences.
There are a lot of similarities here in the UK with Brexit, where populist slogans were more important than facts. One thing we have learnt is that emotion can be useful for trying to connect to such people rather than facts. It is strange to think that but worth a go in these insane times
It’s obvious why Putin wants this. Why in the world would any American want this? Are people really so ignorant they don’t realize how foundational science is to US military & business effectiveness as well as their healthcare?
Rather, it is being executed by people who explicitly do not care. What good does this scientific research do THEM, NOW? The same precept applies to everything else they are wrecking.
America has elected a mad person.
Trump doesn't believe in science
Trump's health minister doesn't believe in medical science
Trump's FBI director who doesn't believe in the FBI
Trump's head of the military doesn't believe in the military.
The people who don't think Science and tech are important are the same people who depend on planes to land correctly, gps to work, the microwave to heat their food, and the headache to go away when they take the pain medicine
You can't pick and choose which science to agree with.
Go to @skyeperryman.bsky.social As head of Democracy Forward, she has many lawyers to assist government employees. 202-448-9090 [email protected] Please repost as often as possible. Get the word out. You have been illegally fired. You can sue. Bring your case to Democracy Forward ASAP.
It's going to take the American women working together to fight for OUR rights and for the freedoms of every American. These asshats are thieves, predators and criminals who are trying to 1) ruin the economy 2) cut spending for our most vulnerable 3) erase our laws and constitution. We must fight.
Let's Crush X worldwide.. every business every country every organization is at risk of being cut off at any minute just on a drug fueled binge so what's the worst that could happen if you leave
So thankful I got to learn science and be exposed to science before my government decided to take it way as "the will of the people" and in the name of "efficiency"
The horror is they fully understand, but their M.O. is basically cruelty and lining their pockets while they can. It’s a rape of a society in all forms.
They think by firing, they can win. Let's prove them wrong and get even louder and show them that we still have a voice and the harder you try the louder we get
THE NATIONAL TRAGEDY IS THAT TRUMP - UNDER ORERS FROM PUTIN, SUPPORTED BY COMPLICIT CONGRESSIONAL GOPS - IS DISMANTLING DEMOCRACY. AND PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS UNDERSCORES ALL THE MICRO OUTRAGES LIKE QUASHING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: USC., ART. III, SEC. 3, TREASON. THIS IS A COUP - TELL SCIENCE.
If you watch Rachel, she reported EVERY poll including the Gallop poll, CNN, 7 or more reported TRUMP’S UNDERWATER! In the history of polls NO president has ever been SO DISLIKED in the 1st month. Never have the majority of Americans polled so dramatically LOW of the president’s policies this early.
What a boon for international organizations! They can scoop up great scientific minds and inventions, and benefiting from them. Scientists need to leave now before the regime demands chemical/biological weapons.
We are losing and lost the best people and are gaining the despicable vile idiots. It’s like having our country run by Marjorie Taylor Greene from top down -what away from America to go
Imagine living in a society that doesn't understand that venous blood is not blue, or why water has zero cholesterol, or that the sun isn't yellow, or even know where Sour Patch Kids candy comes from
What I don't understand about these insanely greedy billionaires is where are they going to live and breathe once the planet is decimated and who is going to cure their diseases in the meantime?
This is rabid insane greed that will kill us all; it's that simple.
They understand the value of it...they're just not profiting personally off of it and so they're pushing everyone into the private sector to capitalize on smart people. Our science will be henceforth dependent on whether they think there's money in it. Big mistake.
Moving forward, the US will no longer be where scientific breakthroughs happen. I wonder if this was done to give corporations to access to brilliant minds at low prices
It's not necessarily about "not understanding the value of scientific research", although this is one of several factors. It's about stifling it outright and setting the clocks back.
Like Nazi Germany, we will experience a great brain drain as the best and brightest leave our country to help other countries make scientific discoveries and progress.
Oh the irony when Muskrat is described as a scientist and innovator - but I guess it is only the science and innovation that makes him money that he considers worth the effort - no matter that the general population will not be healthy enough to work in his labs or industries
The problem is that most Americans don’t understand how yesterday’s basic research gave them the quality of life they enjoy today. They think that tech bros like Musk invented everything themselves while in reality Musk just repackaged the hard work of hundreds of researchers and scientists.
Republicans in Congress are cracking!
After being beat up in town halls.
Phones won't stop ringing.
Wondering what would happen to they if they stoop up.
Call them, visit their local office.
Keep up the pressure!
Today do something!
Pick up your phone.
You have power.
More than you know.
Use it!
Action Required:
Put pressure on Republicans. Call them everyday!
The power is in your hands, our hands!
You are strong!
What you can do today AND everyday!
Call your representatives in the House and Senate
Local and Federal.
Especially if they are Republicans.
Everyday a different subject.

By People who don't understand anything else, also.
The PODS (Party of Dumb Sh*ts) AKA GOP in Congress won't even do their job. They just spin on their Sit and Spins.

Seems like people are mistaking malice for ignorance. Musk isn't stupid, this is how he works when taking over a new business: he gets rid of people and breaks things, then he fixes broken stuff from ground up and ends up having a business that works the way he likes it --> United States of Musk.
In case you had any doubts about DementiaDon and Elmo being cunts this will dispel those doubts. No one would cut funding for cancer research and scientific research unless the goal was to destroy America. Another Christmas Day for Vlady. Another day of eunuch republicans in Congress.
It’s all part of a pattern, scientists are critical thinkers, trained to seek out and evaluate objective facts to arrive at non-ideological conclusions. That is a direct threat to Trump, who paints a reality at odds with objective facts.

His disdain for beauracracy is really a pathological compulsion to prove himself better, i.e., smarter than everyone else.
Incapable of empathy, it's all a video game.
Sue the individuals for unlawful firing. Lawyer up Federal workers. File class action lawsuits. Ruin these tech bros lives.
Are we at S-level embarrassment yet?

I think they also believe the world is 6000 years old
The jailings will happen here too.
I feel the pain of US-citizens concerning their future, jobs and welfare.

Trump and Musk already have our Military, Enemies, Drones, SSN#, Bank Information, Law Enforcement, Navy, Air Force, Clandestine Operatives
America, 🇺🇸
Do we go to work on Monday?
I believe we are at the “drop our wrenches and walk off this Job site” part of history 👏
Thank you for sharing. Too bad the people who need it don’t read.
