If you are upset about the devastating cuts to science, remember to call your elected officials and let them know about it. Regardless of if they are red or blue, supportive of science or not, they all track calls. Calls matter. Do it! Find your elected officials: www.usa.gov/elected-officials

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Book burning? If everything was digital in Hitler's 1930s Germany, this is what his book burning would have looked like: deletion of data, removal of websites, retraction of scientific studies, censorship of words like "equity," "diversity," "climate change."

What is happening at the CDC, NIH, NSF, and the federal government writ large is very familiar. It's a book burning. A late night post from me for @sequencermag.bsky.social. www.sequencermag.com/this-is-a-bo...

Our coalition has grown to 30,000 federal employees. Details regarding new guidance will be distributed. For those not in our coalition, here is a public message: hide any online content that is public, document everything you witness or experience, and keep daily notes at home with dates and times.

It’s a facile point but “gender ideology” is such a capacious and imprecise term—never actually defined, so it can mean anything. And it’s used almost exclusively by people advancing their own, highly specific and prescriptive ideology of gender.

It is alarming that the LA Times took a piece written by Dr. Reinhart, edited it to say the opposite of what he actuallly said, and then the owner, billionaire Trumper Dr. Soon-Shiong, tried to use the altered piece to amplify his own political beliefs.

FYI the National Council of Nonprofits is collecting stories via this form about how the executive orders are harming nonprofit organizations nationwide. If you just got screwed today, tell them about it here. They're also asking who is comfortable sharing their stories with reporters.

We really need to squash this idea that dieting and body modification is somehow revolutionary praxis. Especially when it’s the opposite! I’m so much more focused now that I’m not hungry and thinking about calories all day. It’s a major distraction.

Nearly all coffee consumed in the United States is imported, and the largest source of that coffee is Colombia. Trump is putting a 25% tax on our top source of coffee, and that tax will be passed on to American consumers

Hey all, it doesn’t hurt Trump when you make jokes about his body size but it sucks for your fat friends to hear what you think of us. There’s nothing wrong with being fat. There’s everything wrong with being a fascist shitbag #fatliberation

Holding space for your trans friends isn’t enough. You need to watch Transplanar RPG, an all-transgender, people of color-led TTRPG show set in a noncolonial, antiorientalist multiverse where we radically imagine the worlds we’ll make beyond and outside of white supremacy. You need to give us money

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

My latest over on EITM - covering a cruel court ruling that's forcibly detransitioning trans Floridian inmates. This doesn't just mean ceasing HRT - it also means forcing trans women to wear men's clothes and to shave their hair, a tactic used historically to dehumanize the marginalized.

Transplanar remains as a pillar of storytelling for me. Truly one of the best actual plays, regardless of which system they use. The fact that we as a collective haven't given them millions of dollars is a crime actually. I'm so serious. I fucking love this show
