Some acts of courage are sung.

So cool! youtube.com/watch?v=aGuQ...

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.

Federal government scientists who have just lost your job, here’s a list of state-level and international government science jobs www.linkedin.com/posts/drkimb... 🧪🌎🦑

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

When the dismantlists talk about "trimming the fat" or "bloated" whatever relating to the federal government, remind them that there have been about the same number of federal employees since the 1960s. Meanwhile US population has increased by ~70% and GDP has increased 29-fold.

Oh, Canada!

Last night on the ship; going out in style with @redheadrevenge.bsky.social

In case you are operating under the shred of delusion that Musk gives a shit about space, astronomy, or science 🔭🧪🛰️

Dammit, they're dragging me back to the real world. I don't wanna go!

Belize was fun

My favorite from today’s 50501 March in Boston.

Land ho!

It's windy AF, but beautiful out here on the Gulf of Mexico.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

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

1/So, the guy who is supposedly fighting waste & corruption in government just got a $400 mil contract with that same government he’s supposedly overseeing for his trucks that get, let’s just say less than stellar reviews www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

for the umpteenth time, Trump v. United States does not make the lawless conduct of this administration legal, it immunizes the president against criminal prosecution for “acts within the scope of his exclusive constitutional authority.” this is not a Get Out of Constitution Free card

Did I just see the best SuperBowl ad, ever? ✅ Sells nothing ✅ Long-term thinking ✅ Backed by science ✅ Focuses on empathy ✅ Helps people & planet 👉 sciencemoms.com | @katharinehayhoe.com #climatechange #environment

A stellar alternative for the usual 🔭🎢

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

We are stronger when we share our strengths, braver when we share our bravery. Strength and courage are in you already, but I will share with you what's mine to give. Shared glory is the greatest glory.

There needs to be a lawsuit over this. There needs to be Congressional threats to defund ICE and CBP until they get the detention of American citizens down to zero.

This is Phyllis Fong. I very much respect that she made them physically remove her from her office, which remains hers by right, because she hasn’t been legally terminated.

This would also be illegal. Trump cannot criminalize conduct via executive order, and he certainly can't reinterpret state criminal law. This is intended most of all to terrify people. If you are a teacher, consult an attorney for the laws in your state. But don't comply in advance.
