I’m all for being seriously prepared, trust me, I walk the walk, but community has to be part of that preparation. Alone, we die.

I have been trying to explain to people for YEARS that America’s rich loved the 19th century boom-and-bust economy of constant crashes. When you’re rich enough, an increase in cost of living is negligible and you can buy up bankrupt property & businesses for pennies on the dollar.

Don’t post front facing pictures of yourself maskless at protests. Don’t post front facing pictures of other people maskless at protests. Especially ppl of color. Seeing that all over with the Tesla stuff. You eagerly wanting to be seen doing something endangers both yourself and others.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

Remember that time Joe Biden had 4 years to declare a climate emergency to fast-track urgently needed action, and didn't do it? And then Trump just made up a pretend "energy emergency" on Day 1 to fast-track oil and gas projects we didn't need at all? That was cool.

“It is not too late to salvage the agency and its mission. The agency’s partner organizations are hanging on and its overseas missions seem to have remained mostly intact, for now. The laws establishing U.S.A.I.D. in federal statute and its budget appropriation remain in force and unaltered.”

I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but the Federal Register block is intentionally being used to stop NIH from awarding grants. They might not call it a freeze, but things are effectively frozen. We need legal action ASAP.

This is absolutely correct. Convo I had last week that is part of why I resigned: Much more senior leader: no, we still can't post FRNs. Me: Doesn't that mean we can't proceed? MMSL: correct Me: doesn't that mean we're not in compliance with the TROs? MMSL: ...um...yea, in a way...

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

““This crisis — and I’m not exaggerating by calling it a crisis — has already consumed one funding cycle…But if this block to publishing in the register continues on much longer, it’s going to swallow two funding cycles, and that will put many labs out of business.” @labonnelab.bsky.social

Don’t forget that biological evolution doesn’t move as quickly as social and technological evolution So if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the changing world, just remember you’re an ape constantly applying day zero patches to software written when you were born running on 10,000 year old hardware

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

Fascists want people divided, uninformed, angry and afraid. Don’t let them win. Get a library card. Grab some encyclopedias. Follow independent journalists. Take online courses. Elevate voices different than your own. Make a commitment to being as informed, inclusive, kind and loving as possible.

As a translator and editor I have been warning about exactly this for over a decade. By 2014-15 translation jobs had jobs pretty much all evaporated. It is now over a decade later and there is still no translation software that can translate without being corrected by a human after.

Many people take their health for granted. They look at those of us with disabilities & think they’re better than us. We deserved it. We want to be sick. We’re not trying hard enough. They believe they will be the exception, and that belief drives them to take risks 🧵
