When will Donald Trump start asking Israel for the USA's money back?

This is great news. More trains please and less flights. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Signature tally now closing in on 3000. Please keep discussing, sharing and signing to put as much pressure on the Royal Society to respond as possible. forms.gle/AuYvuWqytx8K...

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.

Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of London on Saturday to protest against the proposals by the United States to "clean out Gaza" and urging the government of the United Kingdom to stop providing military assistance to Israel. #Gaza #Palestine

What if we shared cars instead of owning them? Fewer cars, fewer emissions & <demand for new vehicles. That’s what we’re doing this w/end. Most cars sit parked 95% of the time. Neighbour car sharing means borrowing a car when you need it: 💰cutting costs 💨reducing emissions 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒building communities

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Did you know the "Liberal Media" is just a myth? I know you did, but here is proof anyway. 😉

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)

I just found this video I took during my stay at @bristolbiosci.bsky.social as a #MSCA fellow. @everyheron.bsky.social, this is the first prototype of our lab assistant Manuel, the 🤖 #heron! 😁 Manuel was key to our publication in @commsbio.bsky.social ➡️ rdcu.be/d9J2u (open access)

Signed! Maybe should be followed up by a boycott of submitting to and reviewing for @royalsocietypublishing.org?

Tally just ticked past 1900 signatures. Please keep spreading the word about the letter & asking people to sign. It's important to make the Royal Society aware (at their meeting on 03 March) just how much the scientific community wants them to speak up for their values. forms.gle/SfsDemyS8QhP...

So I just watched Schindler's List and history repeats itself huh?

Staggering sales drops, swastika-daubed EVs, companies culling fleet models, and fan-forum owners selling their cars—Elon Musk's alt-right antics are seriously impacting his electric car business.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax. Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years. This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

Our latest #research with @ccioannou.bsky.social has been published in @commsbio.bsky.social ! Read here 👉 rdcu.be/d9J2u We used real-time tracking and a robot-heron to investigate how state-behaviour #feedbacks influence anti-predator #escape responses in #fish 🐟.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

We are closing our X account down on Friday 28 February and will be active on here only from then on. Spread the word and let's get sharing inspiring research and science!

Trump knowingly supports the genocide of hundred of thousands of people. Let that sink in. #Trump #DonaldTrump #USA #Genocide #freepalestine #palestine #gaza #Israel #boycottisrael #bds #GenocidalState #Children #SaveTheChildren #SaveOurChildren

Get in dorks, we're going protesting! STAND UP FOR SCIENCE WITH US ON MARCH 7TH, 2025 WASHINGTON DC AND EVERY STATE CAPITOL Because science is for everyone! Find us at www.standupforscience2025.org #standupforscience2025 #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Letter expressing widespread concern at the Royal Society’s inaction over Musk reported in the Mirror: www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

If you support the Palestinians and it is Israel who should leave Gaza. Show you support.

Not a single person has been put on trial for killing 72 people at Grenfell. But they can lock up non-violent Just Stop Oil protestors for more than 60 years, because they are a 'danger'.

This is a very good leading article about class and inequality. I would just add that we need not be bound by our backgrounds. My parents were upper-middle class (quite posh). But I want a far more equal society, where the rich have less and the poor have more. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I've never spoken to a gen Z person, but I'm pretty sure this is true x www.normalisland.co.uk/p/the-best-w...

Trump is capitalism in human form, stripped of its disguises. The violent seizure of other people's resources, the exploitation of other people's catastrophes, the predatory gleam in the psychopath's eye. #Gaza #Genocide

The conference attendance grant deadline is past, but judging by the applications, what a great conference this is likely to be! Award emails to be sent soon! www.asab.org/conferences-...

Send us a message if you are interested!

Science is political. It wouldn't necessarily have to be partisan. But when one party is opposed to science-based policy, scientists have a choice between saying "you're right, thoughts and prayers are probably as effective as reducing carbon emissions" or saying "fuck that."

Two more weeks to get your abstracts in: if funding the conference is an issue, check out @asab.org's conference attendance grants, open to ALL seniorities: www.asab.org/kolkata-conf...

Shout out to all the fuckwits who told me, two months ago, that scientists must strive to remain apolitical.

Even the hasbara bots are turning against Israel... www.normalisland.co.uk/p/awkward-sc...

It's pretty obvious whose side @theguardian.com is on. Where's mention that EDF energy included the fish deterrent to get approval, and later ditched it to boost their profits? Sign the petition here win.newmode.net/hinkley-poin... and share widely! @theriverstrust.bsky.social t.co/TAZGe2Bnpt

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

AOC spot on , this is what leadership looks like.

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Reminder that it’s the same program officers, same reviewers, same values, norms, and priorities. We still are our community no matter what they tell us who to exclude. We can still prioritize diversity, inclusion, equity, and access.
