Proud to be an alum of an institution that knows not to comply in advance. And even prouder to work there.

The ripples of op-eds in local papers describing the devastating effects of cutting NIH and NSF funding for science research…my op-ed was mentioned by a Nobel Prize winner. 🤯 Thanks to Science Homecoming for starting this movement to bring awareness across the US! @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social

Either transgender Americans are important enough to warrant year after year of breathless coverage questioning their healthcare and existence, or they're so insignificant that destroying their rights is the "least consequential" action of a presidency. www.readtpa.com/p/not-exactl...

Yes. I think it was a true miss to not acknowledge what is happening in the states right now to the trans community

This is what the power of love does. Sweet Navidad (aka Navi), found on the street alone with a raging double eye infection in PR. 🇵🇷 She was rescued by the inimitable Dellymar at Santuario de Animales San Francisco de Asís. A little over a year later. 🥹 @drjacksonmatos.bsky.social #catsofbluesky

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

It has begun: my department was in negotiations with an outstanding scientist for a faculty position. That faculty candidate has now withdrawn citing political upheaval, and is strongly considering moving her career to Europe. The US is no longer the premiere destination for research scientists.

FIRED These folks and thousands, more like them are not examples of government “waste” and “fraud”. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are lying to us!

This is not ending with athletes. I want to scream about this to all the folks who assured me that my family’s travel opportunities wouldn’t be affected by Trump becoming President again.

The 5 bullet emails are going to be fed into an AI machine to determine which employees get fired? What could possibly go wrong?

Rachel Maddow just cooked MSNBC live on their air and I don’t think I’ve seen something quite like that before. Incredible job, @maddow.msnbc.com.

1. Had a few seizures. 2. Took a ton of naps. 3. Punched through the snow crust on a walk with my feets and startled myself. 4. Tried to sneak my kitty sister’s food when the hoomans walked away. 5. Watched deer run by in the forest and didn’t bark at them once.

1. Tumbled out of bed. 2. Stumbled to the kitchen. 3. Poured myself a cup of ambition. 4. Yawned and stretched. 5. Tried to come to life (without actually wanting to wake up and remember what is happening in the US). #emailstoDOGE

Remember Project 2025? Well they have already COMPLETED 75% of their goals against LGBTQ+ people. This is all within the first month of Trump's presidency. They won't stop until they have stripped us of our rights and forced us into camps. And they won't stop with us...

We can reach people where they are. For older folks/those not on social media, I wrote a little letter for an actual printed newspaper. Spread the word. There is hope still in these dark times. #lgbtq #resist #kindness

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

Western Massachusetts folks: I asked Congressman Richard Neal last week when he is planning on having a town hall to discuss what he is doing in DC to fight Trump’s actions. I just received a call from him saying he is having a phone town hall tomorrow: Thursday, Feb. 13, 6:30pm Call 888-480-3626

The Associated Press says it was banned from covering an event in the Oval Office because it has not aligned its editorial standards with President Trump’s executive order on changing the name of Gulf of Mexico.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.
