It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Ignoring that the Postal Service is mentioned in the Constitution, ending it would destroy Rural areas economics. On-line businesses will suffer as well since their accessible customer base would drop by a lot.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

I wasn't quite sure how descriptive I needed to be on pictures and proper formatting. I am still not quite sure on proper formatting. I could use examples of what would help make the pictures "seeable" for the visually impaired.

Incredibly visceral visualization of just some aspects #myalgicE… I’ve experienced all of these daily with #severeME for the past decade. Yet most doctors don’t even know the name of my illness. It’s a medical crisis. #chronicillness #chronicpain #disability #invisibleillness #invisibledisability

Because not enough Plane crashes have happened in the past Month. Time to fire all sorts of people who prevent the risks of more plane crashes. For anyone I care about, maybe don't fly anytime soon in the US.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Bloomberg is reporting that federal workers tasked with approving medical devices for Medicare have reportedly received termination notices. As a wheelchair user who also uses some other assistive devices (canes, shower chairs, that sort of thing) I want to add some context to this.

The appeasement continues as major organisations start to remove bios of women's contributions and success as the behest of the president. Unbelievable. This response, though, is perfect. #womeninSTEM womenrefusingtobeerased.org

Freshwater mussels in the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, were collected, marked and released as part of an effort to save this community of mussels. It only took 20 people on the team to work efficiently. The attached video is, dare I say it, cool! 🧪🌍🌿 #teamfish

They’re firing NIH scientists and replacing them with people with this level of crappy chart-making? Sounds like the DOGE kids would benefit from going through the NIH postbac program. 🧪

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.
