Thanks to the unknown protester who carried this sign.

Keep calling.

For Schumer, Collins, and all the other so-called leaders who repeatedly fail us and roll over for MAGA & Project 2025. Your legacies will not be pretty.

You can’t even sign into your own SSA account without agreeing to the security statement. Musk is pillaging our government assets while tge Orangeatan is happy to pose and sign his name in big letters. Does he put his Exec Orders on his fridge? Nobody is coming to the rescue so make good trouble.

Keep calling Tillis and Budd about opposing Kash Patel! I know Tillis is in love with him, but our senators are finally admitting they're hearing from us, so don't stop!

Basic research is a foundation of the scientific world. But what is it, exactly? #standwithscience #standupforscience2025 🧪 🤝 🧬 🐟🎸 🍎

Captures it perfectly.

Let’s make these Republican senators regret every vote, every betrayal, and every second they choose Musk and Trump over us. Let’s make them answer for every provision of Project 2025 that comes to pass. And come November of next year, let’s replace them: secure.actblue.com/donate/payba...

To paraphrase, lock them up.

NO ONE voted to cut cancer research.

What keeps science running? It’s not just brilliant minds—it's also things like electricity and lab space! MDI Bio Lab's @sciencewhizliz.bsky.social talks to @mainepublic.org about how at-risk #NIH funding supports the infrastructure behind biomedical breakthroughs. #standwithscience 🧪🤝 🍎🧬

In case folks are interested in contacting their congresspeople about the NIH indirect cuts with some estimates of what they would mean for institutions in their state, here are some estimates based on published F&A rates and funding ... let me know if you want a particular state

Call, call, call, the Republicans. We don’t have to convince them , we have to let them know how many of us are out here & watching them.

More great work from MDI Bio Lab.

Stall for as long as it takes to stop the crazy train. Maybe “fire” Musk while we’re at it.

Every country should do it

Are you funded by #NIH, #NSF or #CDC? Please post any letters or communications you’ve received from these agencies or HHS about restrictions on grant funding, publications etc. I want to catalog all of them for the record. #medsky #episky

That sounds interesting

Only the best people

Finally, a message the way fed-up, sarcastic people would write it. But, yes, the tax cuts need fighting.

So, if anyone other than a white male does something, it’s “diversity”? Out here we call it “the world”.

Thinking of all the money I’ll save not shopping at Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon, Tractor Supply, etc. So many places to avoid.
