I thought tonight’s vibe might be good ASMR to share. Sound on. Fire crackles with chorusing frogs in the background. 🔥❤️🐸

We're in good shape in California, looks like. But spread the word, let's help them find science people in other states who can help.

WE the people. WE are the calvary. Get involved. Go voice your concerns in emails, or phone calls. Go to protests, rallies and other events to show your support. And get involved on the local level. ✊💙

The SAVE Act: A bullshit bill that will undermine the voter registration process and make it really difficult for a lot of people to vote. Make your voice heard. Tell your reps this is a FUCK NO vote for them.

New art. While I won’t physically be at a protest today, I’m there in spirit. 💙 8”x10” mixed media. 🎨

@34thparallel.bsky.social Please Please Please Share. Share. Share. Enter February 28 into your Smart Phone Calendar. Say you're IN! WE REALLY CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!! Please Do This With ME!?!

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

FYI. Tomorrow. 💙

This is a coup. Protest. Take to the streets to march, write emails, make phone calls. REFUSE to comply with what they say. This article is worth a read, an excerpt: "In all the research on preventing coups, there’s one common theme: People stop doing what the coup plotters tell them to do."

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

For anyone wanting to deep dive a bit more on science communication in emotional and contentious situations, I wrote a book that includes not only my views, but also the real world experiences of a hundred or so practitioners. I think it’s useful right now.

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

This.

"A direct hit" a Feb 11 OpEd piece in the journal Science, by H. Holden Thorp. It's about the impact of NIH funding cuts. If you know an academic, pass it on. The academic researchers need to unite to fight this as a whole, create a coalition. As stated by Thorp, "This is a moment to unite." 💙

Join 50501 in a National Day of Action on Monday, February 17th. We are reclaiming President's Day - a day that is supposed to be celebrating the Presidency. Unite to limit executive overreach. Find your protest at https://buff.ly/417VjtT, or create one.

As fire season approaches, thousands of additional firefighters are typically hired for seasonal crews. Now Trump’s reckless hiring freeze is a putting lives, homes, and entire communities at risk. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

Today I got to play with fire 🔥 in a RAKU workshop at ACAI studios. So fun! One bowl broke, which I'm going to repair kintsugi style.

I second the sentiment of this article. However you got here, what matters is that you're here now. Welcome to the fight. This afternoon, I fought with my pen. I wrote postcards to help sway voters on their upcoming election for Supreme Court judges in Wisconsin. Do what you can when you can. 💙

ALERT TO FEDERAL WORKERS: The Thursday “deadline” set by Musk isn’t a thing. Congress hasn’t appropriated the funds to pay you what he promised should you resign by today — nor has Congress authorized anyone to threaten you with losing anything for staying on. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Our office is receiving thousands of calls from concerned Californians. Keep 'em coming. Senate phones are having tech issues, so we're working to resolve the "voicemail full" note that you may be hearing. You can also reach us anytime at ➡️ schiff.senate.gov/contact/

My mom used to look at the sierras and say “purple mountain majesties.” It’s via lyrics from America the Beautiful. It’s fitting now to think of beauty in this place and in America’s people who showed up today to protect that beauty via protests. New art. 🎨 8x10 watercolor on cold press paper.

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)

This. Make it hard for the Republicans to destroy the country.

Huge crowd at the California State Capitol for the 50 States/50 Capitols protest against Project 2025 & the fascist coup attempt happening in Washington, DC. This coup isn’t inevitable. We can stop it.

There are thousands of people at the 50501movement protest rally at the California Capitol Building right now. I heard chants as I walked closer. “fight back” and then “deport Elon musk” and “shut them down.” It was powerful to see and hear. This is what hope looks like. 💙

FYI for my locals if you need the info for tomorrow.

I won't be at the protest. From what I've read, if you can't or won't be at the protests, wear blue in support. 💙

Last night, I wrote in my newsletter, Civil Discourse, about Trump's new coup. I base my analysis on the facts and the law, not hyperbole. We are at a serious tipping point. I hope you'll subscribe if you feel the same way, or if you just want to learn more. joycevance.substack.com

This is a great reference list of things you can do if you're trying to figure out what you can do to help protect our democracy. I have checked the box on a number of these items, but still working on a few. Work on it with me! Share the resources you find. We can fight this together. ❤️

Will you join us, California? #50501 🚨VIOLENCE OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED🚨

Read this. And then please DO something to resist this madness! open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
