#StandUpForScience2025 Lansing was a welcome morale boost to many, to me and p’raps especially the many scientists in the crowd. TY! AND: 1. organizers must f/u with specific action steps for speaking to elected reps, friends & fam. Speeches were powerful but lacked a specific CTA with guidance 1/3🧵

What is the appropriate dress for today’s #StandUpForScience rally? Methinks the vintage magenta coat with vintage cowl neck tomato sweater dress. As loud as my outrage. See everyone in #Lansing at noon!!

@michigandems.bsky.social are y’all coming to the #StandUpForScience2025 rally 3/07? It’s at your house! Capitol bldg., 12-4pm. As someone with #Stage4BC continuing medical research is a life or death issue. I’ll be there. Who else in #Lansing will be there? 🧵1/2

Thank you @dananessel.bsky.social 👏 Our fearless AG is working to stop Trump's federal funding "freeze" and restore vital funding for pre-K, senior programs, shelters for victims of domestic violence and much more.

🗣️WATCH: “Pull your head up. We got this. We are in this together.” @tequilamjohnson.bsky.social gets a standing ovation in rural Tennessee as she points to the resilience of Black folks throughout history to say Trump is not a hurdle that 🇺🇸 can’t overcome.

“It took literally centuries to build these institutions and the capacity to engage in this life-saving research... If we don’t fight, our government will take this all away from...the patients and families who benefit from these life saving treatments.”

Just saw Nickel Boys and as someone who read and loved Whitehead’s novel, this was a revelation of a film. The POV camera never lets you look away. The plot is loosely strung which means you can’t escape into the storyline. Whoa. #filmsky #nickelboys

"Universities gain a competitive edge through inclusive hiring practices. That’s because diverse groups...are better at thinking through problems, seeing them from multiple angles and arriving at novel solutions."

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

@michigandems.bsky.social I am beyond grateful that we are represented in the Senate by two strong Democrats and that a strong governor, AG and SoS still steer our governance. In dark days, knowing you can trust state leaders is absolutely essential
