Attended a research meeting today, and a researcher expressed concern that the study will be flagged because we made it possible for patients who only speak Spanish to enroll. I admittedly died a little bit inside. Hard to believe this current state is reality. #StandUpforScience

When Trump declares martial law, expect suppressed freedoms, rigged courts, political arrests, media censorship, and indefinite power grabs—resistance through legal action, protests, and global pressure is the only way to stop a full authoritarian takeover.

If Trump declares martial law, expect troops in cities, suspended rights, media blackouts, mass arrests, election delays, and courts backing him. Blue states were targeted first. A fake crisis will justify it. Resistance—lawsuits, strikes, and public outcry—can stop it.

We just lived through a soft coup—no tanks, no fireworks, just billionaires, cronies, and power-hungry politicians rewriting the rules. Democracy didn’t die overnight; it was chipped away. Now, we either wake up or get used to living under a dictatorship wrapped in a reality TV show.

Billionaires rigged democracy, courts crush rights, media pushes propaganda, and dissent is criminalized. Public services die, culture wars divide, cops intimidate, and dictatorship is normalized. We must fight: mobilize locally, call it what it is, support real journalism, and wake people up—

A Texas bill filed by Rep. Tom Oliverson proposes making it a state jail felony to falsely identify one's sex assigned at birth to a government entity or employer. The bill, which carries penalties of up to 2 years in jail and a $10,000 fine, has no co-sponsors and may not pass, but signals extreme

Perkins Coie has filed legal action against Trump's executive order targeting the firm, which suspends security clearances and cancels government contracts. This insane order is unlawful. They hired Williams & Connolly to challenge it, arguing the order is an overreach and violates 1st amendment

Happy International Women’s Day

From NOW: Keep challenging the systems. Stay in this fight and know that we are indeed making progress. We can’t give up! We won’t give up! This is an international struggle and we’re all in it together. Happy International Women's Day.
