Gotta hand it to Trump - I expected the worst and even that wasn't nearly how bad he's screwed things up. It's only taken him 35 days to inflict a generation's worth of cleanup. -Especially in foreign policy. Damn, what a dingus.

What's rate-limiting in (redox) conductive MOFs: electron or ion diffusion? Turns out, neither. Instead, we find that slow ion diffusion generates an electric field that accelerates charge transport. Excited to share our recent paper out now in ChemSci! #ChemSky pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

I must admit this administration's focus on neo-colonialism, while not surprising, is a bit more robust than I imagined.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

The new right wing talking point seems to be somehow 'the left' - whatever the hell they mean - is to blame for their shitty behavior. 'You made us do this'. That's exactly the language of abusers.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark. He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

It is vital that people with privilege use it now. I'm a middle-aged white dude. This country is literally built for me. I'm the last guy on the demographic chopping block. And I have a small but growing audience. I also am a state university science educator - well-positioned to see all.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Modest proposal: If MAGA thinks climate change is "woke", they should try to ban it from regulated industries - like insurance companies and banks. Because if they're taking it into account they're 'woke', right? Let's see how that flies.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

I know bullies - I understand them. Being a nearly-blind , nerdy kid in the South growing up in the 70s meant I got to deal with them on a near daily basis. And I despise them. Truly, I do. It's the one missing spot of my empathy. As much as I try - I just cannot get over them.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

People want all the cool shit science provides them without paying scientists to provide it. Your typical MAGA would classify such people as parasitic freeloaders.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
