Do fish know they're wet? Do Americans know how much their daily lives are shaped by federally funded R&D? Great 🧪 science must include great communication to help the public understand why federal R&D funds are critical! @aaas.org @science.org #SciCom #SciSky www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/s...

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

We all know that Hamas is a terrorist group. Oct 7 was horrific beyond words. We all hope the hostages can safely return home. We also know that the killing, maiming, deprivation & starvation of Gaza’s civilians- mostly children- is wrong. If possible donate to @MSF Doctors W’outBorders or @UNRWA

As a psychologist who specialized in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, particularly women, I will never condone domestic violence. Trauma from war including traumatic brain injury needs to be treated. This solider who served our country needed help not deportation. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty. It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon. That is morally obscene.

Happy 106th to a hero and inspiration--Pete Seeger. His songs were his weapon and he won a lot of battles

It’s said that we live in a post-fact society. We disagree. Now, more than ever, facts matter, and ProPublica is going to continue to track how and when patently false statements are injected into conversations about the country’s future. (Published Feb.)

... and the killing of the people of Gaza, by starvation, neglect, or outright violence, goes on, and on, and on,.... "It has been more than 60 days since Israel ordered a halt to all humanitarian aid entering Gaza — no food, fuel or even medicine." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/w...

If the real news is bad, just control the narrative rather than change, or at least reconsider, the policy that led to the bad news. Yet another marker of a completely autocratic regime. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to ā€œdo their own researchā€ about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of ā€œefficiency.ā€

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

So proud that the Congressional Gold Medal was presented to the 6888 today -- the first and only all-Black, all-women battalion to serve overseas in World War II. This recognition is a powerful reminder that the full story of American heroism must be told in all its diversity.

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ā¤ļø from your neighbors below, šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

Democrats who think we should stop using the word "oligarchy" ought to watch this video. Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people and corporations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=inBW...

State organizations that advocate for disabled residents in New Jersey and Arkansas announced that they will have to limit their work after not receiving the full funds they are owed by the US federal government.

We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the Trump regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground. Now is the time for all of us to become activists. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-start-of-week-14
