What !!!

Truth. And the truth hurts.

PLOS has issued a statement on recent US Executive Orders and scientific integrity. We are determined to stand firmly behind our mission, our values and our principles, and against any attempt at censorship or undermining of the core principles of scientific inquiry. plos.io/3D4O8cH

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

🌊🧊 Glaciers losing mass faster than expected Glaciers worldwide lost 273 gigatonnes annually from 2000 to 2023 – a 36% increase in the last decade. This is a major driver of sea-level rise. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm #ClimateChange #Glaciers #SeaLevelRise 🧪

“Cuts to the leadership and other staff at the Roy Blunt Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias (CARD) at the National Institutes of Health as well as other cuts at NIH, FDA, and CDC threaten to undo years of progress." www.usagainstalzheimers.org/press/usagai...

Leader of the free world....

#episky #epidemiology 🧪 Trickle down anti-science. Abruptly cutting off funding will hobble public health at all levels throughout the United States and internationally. This is not about judiciously cutting waste throughout the government. This is a chainsaw massacre. www.gapha.org/annual-meeti...

“NSF fired about 10 percent of its staff at the end of Tuesday, removing 168 people who included most of the agency’s probationary employees and all of its experts, a class of contract workers who are specialists in niche scientific fields.” — www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering. Alas. We're all in it now.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Without friends

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

7% of U.S. adults report having experienced racial/ethnic #discrimination in healthcare encounters—⬆️ among Black, Asian, and Hispanic individuals.~ 2/3 of Americans, especially Black & Hispanic, express mistrust in the US medical system. Read in #JGIM:

“For the last 75 yrs, the NIH has been the biggest funder of biomedical research in the world. Most advances in medicine were seeded by NIH funding. When we became scientists, we just bought into this system. This is how it works. — @tuthill.bsky.social 🧵 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate: - Emergency response in natural disasters - Education and healthcare for disabled children - Clean air and water programs - Gang crime investigations - Monitoring of nursing home abuse - Nuclear reactor regulation - Cancer research

Dark Pence is back.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Hero. 🇺🇦

We’ve seen this movie before.

Glaciers are receding all over the world, at a rate of three Olympic swimming pools per second

This fingerprint painting is the work of our newest volunteer artist to join our @3wishesprogram.bsky.social! The now deceased patient loved hydrangeas and her black and blonde labradors. I hope the family will love this painting. #EOLcare #keepsakes #kindnessmatters

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

"Just one more thing. You say you're the law and order president, yet you released 1,500 rioters. You claim to support the police, but many of those rioters attacked them. Now you're firing FBI agents and prosecutors. Frankly, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're a criminal."

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...
