Hard to overstate how radical a departure from regulatory norms (and rollback of transparency) this would be.

If I had to have only one message to everyone in 2025, it's this: STOP. COMPLYING. IN. ADVANCE. STOP DOING THE WORK OF TYRANNY FOR THE TYRANTS!! Seriously, grow a fucking spine and stand up for what's right. Seeing a whole lot of spinelessness in recent months...

This is extremely disappointing from the folks who own Star Trek, a franchise built around the concept of IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations πŸ–– Another spineless company that only supported #blacklivesmatter and DEI because it was en vogue. #cancelparamount

Check out my latest work on the experiences of workplace discrimination and harassment among Black LGBTQ workers. #blackhistorymonth #blacklivesmatter

Our veterans deserve better care, not worse!

Had a wonderful time presenting to UCLA undergrads with my @uclarepropolicy.bsky.social colleague @cathrencohen.bsky.social about the future of reproductive rights under the Trump Administration for UCLA Sex Week! #thekidsarealright

Trans folks, especially trans women, aren't just more likely than cis folks to be victimized - they are FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY!! #defendtranslives

You cannot recover from this with future investments The data uncollected are lost forever

I truly cannot understate how much damage Trump and his ilk are doing to US research.

Ohhhhh, I never thoooooought the leopards would eat my face 🎢

Advice on how to fight tyranny: www.carnegie.org/our-work/art...

Be like ACOG ❀️ We need more organizations willing to stand up and call out government censorship of data! More orgs that will fight for what is right, instead of prematurely folding and self-censoring to appease tyrants and fascists.

Nerdy Valentines are my JAM!

Our research shows that when a person who wants an abortion is not able to get one, they’re: ❌More likely to struggle financially ❌More likely to need public assistance ❌More likely to stay in contact with a violent partner ❌Less likely to have children later in life

And how is this going to be enforced? How are folks gunna verify the gender of women athletes? Do women have to pay out of pocket to get chromosome testing? Which school official do you trust to check your child's gender?

THIS! Why are taxpayers funding the corporate private sector so much... πŸ€”

YESSSS!!! #healthpolicyvalentines are back, baby!!! πŸ’– I missed these deeply after leaving Twitter; cannot wait to craft one and see what yall come up with! πŸ’˜ We are in DESPERATE need of joy in these bleak times. #publichealth #medsky #reprosky #healthpolicy

We may be cogs in a machine, but we are NOT obligated to turn! SAY NO! DO NOT COMPLY! And ffs, DO NOT PRE-EMPTIVELY OBEY!! Don't do their job for them by giving in before they even come for you. FIGHT IT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!

😫😫😫

In conclusion, Black women, queer, and trans people must exist freely if you want good music.

DEI πŸ‘ is πŸ‘ not πŸ‘ a πŸ‘ threat πŸ‘ it's πŸ‘ a πŸ‘gift πŸ‘

REPUBLICANS πŸ“’ ARE πŸ“’ COMING πŸ“’ FOR πŸ“’ YOUR πŸ“’ CONTRACEPTIVES πŸ“’ Idk how many times we gotta say it before folks start to believe the threat is real. I am so tired already.

The Trump Admin. has started their purge of all survey data on trans folks. We can't even study the health and wellbeing of trans minors and adults! This may seem small, but make no mistakes: this is the full and complete erasure of trans folks. The silencing of their voices, needs, and struggles.

What I bring to the team: πŸ––πŸ––
