I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

In case you missed it on Friday: my story about Trump's proposed NASA cuts & how, if they pass, they'd deal a massive blow to international collaboration. Europe's long-planned ExoMars rover could be a huge casualty. But Washington's reputation would be another. www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪🚀

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

You open the manual for that weapon he’s holding and it will absolutely tell you not to point it at people like that. It’s only “less lethal” when handled properly. He might as well be holding a glock.

In 2020, Trump wanted to use lethal force on protesters. Defense Secretary Mark Esper stopped him. Now, as Los Angeles rises up against ICE, Pete Hegseth leads the Pentagon. This is the scenario many warned about: a president surrounded by yes-men, with no one left to offer restraint.

It’s second Sunday of the month here at St Martin in the Fields, so that means that this afternoon I’ll be running Captain Dan’s laundry service for homeless and/or destitute asylum seekers and refugees. We’ll also provide a hot lunch and showers.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

The most vital thing you can do right now is spread this message offline to normies. There is no "unrest", there's a protest. It has 400 people. LA does worse when the Lakers come in 3rd in a season.

Today is the anniversary of Alan Turing’s suicide, in 1954. Turing was the father of modern computing. His codebreaking helped the Allies to win WWII. Arrested for being gay, he chose chemical castration over a prison sentence. He lost his security clearance, as all homosexuals were deemed a risk.

@foxla.bsky.social thank you for your honest coverage calling out the federal agents for shooting teargas when the protest was peaceful and not for any reason making it seem like the protesters instigated what is happening right now

This is, hands down, one of the most idiotic and patently hateful decisions I have ever seen. Why would fishing even be sex segregated? Gender "critical" ideology is causing people to loose all capacity for critical and rational thought.
