This is presidential

Science saved both my husband and me. Over the course of my childhood, I spent weeks of my life hospitalized. My husband has HIV. Without antiretovirals, corticosteroids & epinephrine, we would be long dead. #whosciencesaves #medsky

I'm going to put this out there. In 1923, my great grandparents illegally immigrated to the US from Montreal. A guy at my great grandfather's job turned him in. They were deported back to Canada. They made it back in (illegally?) and moved to Los Angeles in 1925. Is there any chance I can go back?

Maya Wiley would have been amazing. @maya4rights.bsky.social

I just listened to @maddow.msnbc.com from last night and was expecting a hit about the AltGov. At this point she had already dropped a hit with @stollmeyer.bsky.social which is how the world learned about us. We are back, better organized, trained with more participating verified AltAgencies.

Americans of Bluesky, I suggest sending this email to your doctor if you have one: I need my childhood vaccine titers checked, including measles, chicken pox, and MMR. I look forward to going in to get these labs drawn as soon as possible. Thank you. #medsky #IDSky

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

This!!

I know, I know. everyone hates this timeline, but at this moment, I am acutely hating this timeline due to things I can not discuss. And both of those things suck.

Disagree strongly. I don’t think Mr. Rogers meant this exclusively for children at all. Mutual aid is based on finding other helpers. Protest movements are founded by helpers. In order to be in community, you must find the helpers. If you think your ass is too grown for helpers, you're wrong.

Preordered Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social on Audible, but then I deleted the Audible app before i could finish listening, so looks like I'm going to Vroman's to purchase a hard copy. I like owning my media in tangible form better anyway.

These universities have filed suit against the cut to indirect costs at the #NIH announced last Friday. My university is in here. If yours isn't, ask why.

This is a great statement. Will our medical professional societies whose members are worried that the admin is undercutting our ability to "do no harm", gutting public/academic capacity to do biomedical research, & cruelly targeting the most vulnerable patients also do the same? #MedSky

Neutrality = death

I'm thinking the same thing.

There it is

Reminder: If you have a new Costco membership, this is a great time to share the cost of supplies with people you trust.

Fuck me.

Pulled this down from a light pole in Burbank, CA, yesterday. Fuck nazis.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

STI Treatment Guidelines are down, for now go to nnptc.org where our group has housed STI and HIV PrEP guidelines #HIVSky #STISky #IDSky

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Los Angeles Threads. Send your burbank folks over.

BURBANK CALIFORNIA. You want to resist these fuckers? Let's do it. Being in community is the first step. Making this city safe begins with our neighbors. DM me.
