It’s probably a good day to explain to your non-scientist socials that graduate students are not merely the next generation of academic science, they are an important component of the current scientific labor force. Feel free to mention that this is cut rate labor as well.

"You better not be talking to Canada" 👁️👄👁️ I hate that this is pretty much what is happening for US government employees trying to collaborate with colleagues here in Canada. This is both the darkest and dumbest timeline.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

"To cut off a history of a group - even if you are not part of that - is to cut off part of yourself. Because it cuts off your ability to understand humanity, to look at the entirety of humanity. To see the vibrancy and beauty of who we can become." @jessiegender.bsky.social

The court ordered that NIH grant funding be unfrozen, so The Regime found a way around it. For NIH grants to be funded, a review panel must rank them. In order for a review panel to meet, they must post it on the Federal Register. Submissions to the Federal Register are now on hold “indefinitely”.

This administration's attacks on trans people aren't "a distraction" from everything else they're doing. We're not a distraction. What they're doing to trans people is the most bad thing of all - everything else being done is to distract people from the targeting of trans people for extermination.

As Rémi Quirion said in this article, "Science should be without borders". This is especially true for shared ecosystems like the Great Lakes. To have so many important projects shut down, and for researchers to no longer be able to share important environmental knowledge is so alarming.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Major news: Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth. It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades. Shameful.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

This is what happens to trans women placed in men's prisons. They are subjected to daily horrific rapes and used as human chattel to pacify aggressive and violent inmates. It's called v coding.

Sooooo if this whole "biological sex" EO is really happening, biologists are going to make as much noise about it as possible, right? Professional societies, universities, individual research groups? It's really incumbent on us (that's a "biologists us" here) to make a BIG FUCKING STINK

In light of what is happening in the US, our political parties need to do much more to support 2SLGBTQIA+ Canadians. We need our leaders to take a stand and make it clear and explicit in their policies and platform that they will support us and protect our rights.

From 1.5C to 2C of global warming is an increase by 33.3 percent. Many people assume that the negative impacts of this would also increase by only 33.3 percent. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The increase is non-linear. This is one of the biggest missing pieces in public climate literacy.
