I spoke with activist and educator @daniel-hunter.bsky.social about the current terrain of resistance under Trump and Musk, and how we can stay focused amid the chaos. "This is a really important time for some experiments," Daniel said.

It's critical for people to be active, getting organized at the state level not just in conventional political ways but also to operate within and buttress their state govts for Trump's coming onslaught talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/get-a...

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

🚨 ALERT: US TRANS FOLX 🚨 Keshet is offering loans of up to $10,000 for trans folks looking to escape their State to a safer (blue) State. You don't have to be Jewish to apply. 👉🏻 www.keshetonline.org/movetothrive/

"But judge we said blue black no trade backs!" Isn't a defense for any part of this human rights violating shitshow

“We the People” isn’t just a poetic preamble; it’s the foundational claim of our sovereignty. The Constitution doesn’t start “We the Government” or “We the Elite.” It starts by asserting that all authority flows from the people, and that government exists by their consent —it’s a radical principle.

I've already had two federal grants terminated and face a 33% pay cut due to future terminations. It's painful, but not as painful as the conversations I'm having every day with brilliant trainees in graduate school and postdoctoral positions who see little future for themselves in US science.

Allow me to put this as Trump himself might on Truth Social: THE MAN IS AN IDIOT!!! Tariffs supported most of what the federal government did in the 1800s because the federal government didn’t do much of anything. newrepublic.com/post/193614/...

Even cursory contact with law enforcement (traffic stop, bumping into a cop on the street, coughing in a cop's direction) can trigger deportation proceedings if they would like. For example, one of the men shipped away to El Salvador was stopped by local LEO in a traffic stop.

1. In a proclamation issued yesterday, Trump declared allowing transgender youth to transition "child abuse." He then called for swift punishment of "abuse," with transgender care being his main example. This is the latest escalation in attacks on trans youth. Subscribe to support my journalism.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from varicella zoster virus- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against dementia. 🧪🧵⬇️

Take care of your neighbors and friends, you're going to need community more than ever.

The only relevant political point is that Republican members of Congress are all supporting these tariffs 100%. They could stop them at any moment. Each day is on them. Everyone with a messaging bullhorn needs to make that clear. They can pull the plug now or pay the price at the polls next year.

ffs @booker.senate.gov, they are dismantling the entire federal government and your colleagues have ceded power of the purse to the executive branch. they are already doing things that can never be ratcheted back, right now! the gutted independent agencies established by congress! wtaf??!

Ezra Klein and Gavin Newsom are now to the right of Bill Kristol?

Alienate our allies Crash the market Devalue the dollar Spike prices Dismantle the federal government Cause immigrants to live in fear Make others not want to come here If you made a blueprint for how to hurt 🇺🇸, it would look a lot like this Putin is enjoying the show

I am never going to apologize for having empathy. I will never concede the rhetorical stupidity of arguing about too much empathy. Caring about people is fundamental to a functioning society. Highly recommend this piece on Baldwin and the "civic love gap." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

In February 2025, @johnfocook.bsky.social gave two webinars for republicEN explaining the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change. The 1st webinar focused on the history of this scientific consensus, the 2nd on the misinformation spread about it. skepticalscience.com/webinars-con...

People just really don't get the economy or how it functions, hey? I mean, I did one econ unit in my masters and even I know that when discretionary spending plummets it is a Very Bad Thing.

If you are thinking about @naomiaklein.bsky.social’s The Shock Doctrine today, you should come to this on Tuesday:

Firing the entire staff of LIHEAP is an attack on everyday Americans struggling against rising energy costs. LIHEAP helped over 300K households in Pennsylvania stay warm and keep energy bills low last season. I call on HHS to reverse the firings, protect our families, and restore LIHEAP.

Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects. Story for @bloomberg.com (free link):

Outside of science for a bit: This is about the NSA, and it seems quite likely to be about illegal domestic surveillance. The NSA has enormous capacity to monitor internet and phone activity. This is a massive, massive threat and Congress must act. Now. @aoc.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov

FDA laid off VRBPAC staff, vaccine advisory panel. 4 employees' duties included monitoring conflicts of interest (COIs). RFK Jr. said he'd remove HHS advisory cmte COIs to reestablish public trust. HHS spokesperson: COIs shld be disclosed by panel members (but pre-HHS RFK claimed transparency low).🛟

@capitol.press are you covering the Mennonite Church v. DHS hearing this morning?

I’m the Canadian who was detained by ICE for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped |"I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky," writes Jasmine Mooney in @theguardian.com.

National Library Week is April 6-12. What are your plans to show concrete support for public libraries? www.ala.org/conferencese...

NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research’s main contract for its websites was not approved for renewal, so I’m told we should expect some of them to start to go down. “Lutnick's position on every contract is ‘no’ and agency reps have roughly a minute and a half to convince him otherwise.”

So eager to dig in! Thank you @beliso-dejesus.bsky.social for this incredible work. www.dukeupress.edu/excited-deli...

The Trump GOP are doing to all of America now what they've been doing to rural America for decades. Destroying the economy, leaving only oligarchs and the desperate poor, is the design.

From a source at NIH: “Right now NIH’s ability to buy things is dead. Nearly all people with the power to make an order — purchasing people — have been removed. The NIH hospital can’t buy medicines, the labs can’t buy petri dishes. X-Ray machine breaks? Too bad. Everything is stopped”

ICE Is Now Surveilling Social Media To Silence Their Critics

the talmud says that if the sanhedrin doled out even one death sentence in 70 years that it should be considered a bloodsoaked court

The DC Council is investigating the DOGE invasion of the U.S. Institute of Peace on March 17th. The DC Chief of Police has begrudgingly admitted DC MPD were called by USIP personnel at 2:59 PM, an hour before Ed Martin rang them up to help the DOGE attack.

Horrific story, emblematic of larger horrors

Let’s watch Trump try to fire this IG.
