"The agency didn’t have to fire its experts but decided to in the interest of fairness." “We asked who was mission critical and more than half of people were identified,” Cheatham said. “That was too many.” “The Director couldn’t even show up to the 10 AM firing call held for all of us"

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Eight months ago, I packed up my life and moved across the country for a job with USDA. After seven years of study and training, I was excited to use the skills I had developed—and excited to serve my country in a way that mattered—protecting our nation’s food crops from insect pests. (1)

I gonna keep trying to showcase that small questions in science are still very much real science. Just because the question and output is small, does not make it any less valid. We've gotten a lil snobby about how we define science today, more focused on size than content.

If you are on a college campus, please review what is allowed and how to protect your students. Remember, most ICE raids do not have warrants. They aren't allowed in classrooms, labs, offices, and other non-public spaces. And if you know the student they are asking about? NO YOU FUCKING DON'T.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

Update: the Department of Justice has ruled that the Temporary Restraining Order issued by the Federal Court applies to all NSF award recipients. This means I was able to request a portion of my funds (about 10%) to cover my costs this month and provide a small safety net.

Ok, let’s say you’re NSF, checking all grants for forbidden things before you begin paying out, which is allowed. You have to start somewhere. Most grants have had money delivered for future, but not these, which means these people aren’t getting paid today, not in August. Maybe start here?

To update people on the NSF PRFB situation: despite the court challenge and rescinding the original memo, the NSF has continued to comply with the executive order. They have not communicated with us at all and our paychecks are still canceled indefinitely. I know people who cannot pay their rent.

"Don't comply in advance" is a directive for people with power, for organizations, for the news media. If the fascist are going to repress; make them work for it. It is not a directive for individuals trying to survive. Do what you need to be safe.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
