I'm going to the South Dakota Science Teacher Assn's annual meeting, and I'm giving 2 workshops. One on how to use @skypeascientist.bsky.social in the classroom, & one (kinda surprisingly to me) on street art science communication. I am going to have the teachers "Teach on the street"

We need an Attorney General who knows their duty is to the people – not the President. That person is not Pam Bondi.

People around the country are asking Senate Dems to fight back. But today, 22 Senate Dems voted for yet another Trump nominee (Collins for VA). If yours voted the right way, thank them. If they voted the wrong way, do what you can to let your entire community know and express disapproval.

Shameful—but not surprising. Powerful institutions protecting each other instead of the vulnerable. This is why we have to keep fighting for true justice, accountability, and a world free from religious privilege.

Too many Virginians can't afford job training programs and too many employers struggle to fill skilled labor positions. I have a solution: my JOBS Act will allow students to use Pell Grants—education grants for lower-income folks—to pay for shorter-term job training programs.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created by Congress after the 2008 recession to protect American consumers from financial fraud. CFPB has put billions of dollars back into Americans' wallets. The Trump Administration's halt on its work is wrong and harmful to Americans.

Firing top prosecutors and FBI agents. Deporting farmworkers who feed us. Letting billionaire oligarchs vandalize government agencies & access private data. There is a pattern to this corrupt behavior. Give Trump more power. Give the billionaires more money. Give you nothing.
