I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Have national Dems, who claim to want to "win back" the working class, said anything yet about ICE injuring and arresting the head of the SEIU of California? truthout.org/articles/ice...

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Day 1 of 30 days...oh wait. It's every day. Thankful that Mpls Public Works cleaned up where I got 3 flats near this site. Thankful for the latex in my tubeless tire that's working overtime. And, finally, I'd like to thank the Bryant Avenue bike lane for another nice date. #bikes #Minneapolis

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

“The group estimated that reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service… we would be witnessing the dismantling of a century-old system”

Just released. My Nature piece: "Never before has the USA seen such an anti-intellectual, anti-science assault... History tells us that there are times when the dangers of inaction become sufficiently threatening to individuals or the planet that scientists... rdcu.be/eo3Hb

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

The newest budget numbers out of NSF are... not good. We're looking at worse than worst case scenarios for U.S. research universities. That's in addition to all the other attacks. Every person w/ a word processer and an hour of time should be penning an op-ed to their local papers this weekend.

RFK Jr has no shame (among other important deficits such as competence and morals). This is research misconduct. I would be removed from my PhD program if I did what he did in the MAHA report. He should be removed from his office.
