This is a huge deal. This is a Senator using his power in a non-traditional way: tget to El Salvador, get to see Kilmar, and get pics of both of them out. For Congress right now it’s not about speeches on the floor or business as usual. Good on the Senator for doing this.

By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

We called out Harvard in the past for inaction. So now we are happy to speak out with praise. This is a major step forward. It’s not just a lack of capitulation. It’s an aggressive effort leaning into public comms — exactly what is needed. Bravo to Harvard 👏

This is Orbanism, brought to America. It’s a fascist takeover of US universities, stripping free speech, because the Trump regime wishes to control universities, end free thought and fight truth. We fight now, inside and outside NIH, or US science becomes Soviet science.

USA led the world in expertise stopping HIV, incl preventing mother to child transmission. But DOGE has now dismissed every global prevention expert at USAID, CDC, & State Dept. The risk is insane: Resurgent HIV & 500K child deaths by 2030. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/h...

This was always the risk with Gabbard and Patel at the head of our intelligence gathering. We not only will lose our own sources who won’t trust them, but we will lose intelligence from our close allies. This makes a terrorist attack on US soil much more likely.

Good to see NIMH Board of Scientific Counselors standing up against new NIH policies. We need more of this from senior leaders!

Excited to share our most recent results in cancer research supported by #NIH. We found that obesity-driven insulin resistance promotes breast cancer metastasis. We must address this public health crisis because >120 million Americans are diabetic/prediabetic. aacrjournals.org/mcr/article-...

While America was conceding Europe to the Nazis, 17 and 18 year old Canadians were keeping the Atlantic free and fighting in spitfires. Their spirit is with us now. Trump can insult and try to provoke but he has no clue who he is messing with. This is #elbowsup time. True. North. Strong. Free.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald, what, you had to bring a guy from the Russian state media in to watch you try and beat up Zelenskyy—and you thought that would make you look good? It made you look like the crook you are. Zelenskyy is a man that you will never be; he’s a genuine hero.

Thank you. In an era of active science denial and rule by Know Nothings, it’s good to be reminded of the importance of basic science research. Destroying #NIH and #NSF saves nothing and sets back progress.
