If Trump shuts it off without warning it would be a war crime. The same crime of extortion that got Trump impeached the first time. I hope the world is taking note. No one should be using Starlink since it is now under the control of a lunatic fascistic dictator. Trump or Musk, take your pick.

Stand Up for Science youtu.be/tfNtuhNAxlw?...

Keep at it

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith bringing the thunder 🔥

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

Trump is a terrorist. He's now threatening to cut off access to Musk's Starlink satellite system if Zelensky doesn't sign away rights to Ukraine's prized minerals. For the 2nd time he's extorting Zelensky & will get away with it. I hate my country. www.rawstory.com/trump-zelens...

A 15 yr old Black girl walked into history Rocks were thrown, slurs slung, but her father told her: "Remember who you are; remember you're inferior to no one & don't hold your head low for anybody" That day Dorothy Counts became the first Black girl to attend an all white school #BlackHistory

Great article, and so timely and important. History does repeat itself. It reads like a script. Trump is using the exact same one. Stunning, absolutely stunning, that we are here again.

Why are Congressional Dems just sitting around when the Federal Protective Service can arrest & confine anyone trespassing on Federal property? FPS is the law enforcement authority that protects federal gov't facilities & safeguards the millions of employees. So why hasn't this been done?

Another MAGA Evangelical child sex abuser. Convicted of having more than 100 images depicting child sex abuse on his laptop. Vaccines are bad, but child rape and sexual abuse is a badge of honor in Trump's bible beating America. fox11online.com/news/nation-...

Before the election, Trump promised 60% tariffs on China Once elected, it fell to 10% Now he wants to make a deal with China, which would repeal even the original tariffs from his 1st term that Biden kept Why? Because it would help deindustrialize the US It would cede manufacturing to China

Trump is blowing up all of Biden's industrial achievements. Congressionally approved funding for EV subsidies? Frozen Policies favoring EV vehicles? Trashed. Finished Now firing large numbers of workers tasked w administering CHIPS Act. Say goodbye to all semiconductor industrial policy too.

A grand right-wing alliance w China & Russia That's what Trump & Musk are trying to forge Trump thinks Chinese troops should police Ukraine ceasefire & he's withdrawing US troops from Baltic countries The same countries that used to be part of the USSR, which Putin will nab again after Ukraine.

Here's Judge Ho's full order on Adam's dismissal bs It’s a horrible situation in this nation when a federal judge has to appoint an independent lawyer to argue the prosecutor’s case bc a convicted felon wants to drop a case against an accused felon But a tactically brilliant move (see why below)

"The US needs to maintain good relations with Russia because it is a world power," — Marco Rubio, Putin's PR agent. Russia hasn't been a major superpower since the Cold War. Now it's just a crappy little oligarchy with a smaller economy than 3 US states. Rubio knows it.

I have a lot of friends who are researchers at universities. The draconian cuts Trump has ordered at the National Institutes of Health have devastated them all. Research in America will be crippled, cancer at the top. Just remember, Hitler did the same. Death was the only science he supported.

As a reminder to those still serving... "I was just following orders." Is not a defense under the UCMJ.

I was awarded the NSF GRFP as a senior in undergrad, and it directly enabled me to pursue a PhD. Whether it's just due to uncertainty, the thought that this program could be at risk is deeply disheartening. GRFP isn’t just funding—it’s an investment in the future of science.

Very pumped to attend the @standupforscience.bsky.social at Philly on March 7th at City Hall! Sign up here to be kept in the loop for details. www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...
