The sad thing is, erasing Stonewall won't save anyone in National Park Service--they want to get rid of all of you, so all you did now was lose potential allies in the fight. I love our national Parks, so am very sad to see it

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

So....I don't relish being the resident ass about this, but. If you are someone in WI who sat by when they demolished the UW Colleges, who served so many, and now are alarmed at how things are going? Well..I"m still mad about it, but, welcome to the fight. xo.

If the Dems really wanted to do something, they could create a kind of government in exile. Put all of the CDC data sets on another website that they host. Use some of their war chest to keep the information alive.

RFK Jr. keeps calling the products of hard work by scientists “miracles”. They are not miracles. They are the result of decades of rigorous, thoughtful work by experts, which he refuses to acknowledge.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

If only we a had a 900 page document in our hands a year ago that said they were going to do this!

Trump attempts to freeze $3 trillion in federal grants. If this goes through, the nuclear blast radius will be huge—Suicide hot line, domestic violence shelters, cancer survivors. Time to see how strong our checks and balances are. Congress, universities and governors, it’s beyond time to engage

WIC. They are pausing WIC. That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings in the same fiscal year. For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.

As I was saying. (If I sound mad, I am, in many ways. If i sound gloaty, I'm not. My kid attends UW-Madison, I am invested emotionally and financially in the success of that university).

Would love to understand why every Democrat is not out there every second of the day explaining in plain English that Donald Trump has declared war on cancer patients.

All of the (rightful) panic about NIH/NSF today is awful on a large scale, but also giving me major flashbacks to when our right wing legislature and university system president ended our institution.

Oh, everyone who voted because of grocery prices....you know, I get your concern. So now is the time to hold YOUR elected officials accountable. Immediately.

My first memories of Ueck were when I was a little kid--I shared a room with my grandma at our little lake cottage, and I remember falling asleep on those hot summer nights listening to Brewers radio. It's been a pleasure and a privilege listening to him with my own kids. So sad to hear the news.

When thinking about academic metrics like citation counts and h-index, it's important to remember that the numbers are all made up and basically meaningless anyway.

One thing I know is that we would have been lucky to have Kamala Harris as our leader. As they say in my home state....Welp.

I'm not much for NFL football anymore, not harshing anyone who is, that's just me. But, this Wisconsinite Hokie is absolutely team Tyrod Taylor right now.

Four people were killed and a suspect was found dead in a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. Only America abides the slaughter of their children in their schools.

I occasionally forget that in the US, the introduction of a chickenpox vaccine has meant that most of my college students today think of it the same way I think about scarlet fever or polio. If I tell them that I had chickenpox AND mumps as a kid, they act like I'm from the Great Depression.

People are not wrong to freak out about Trump’s cabinet picks but…this is what he campaigned on. It’s what people voted for. We shouldn’t be surprised by this. The old world is gone, folks. This is the new reality. I don't like it, either. But this is where we are.
