Skeeting from the edge of life-saving infectious diseases research. Here for science, but will shamelessly repost advocacy for safe sustainable systems and practices- #bancars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z99ajcyaeyo

I've said there's no use case for ChatGPT but I was wrong.

You have died of procedural norms.

Meta could have solely funded the ENTIRE WORLD'S 2022 CLIMATE FINANCE GOAL instead of this

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Thanks to @madhupai.bsky.social for doing this. Wish Paul was still here to stand shoulder to shoulder with all of us. www.forbes.com/sites/madhuk...

"Somebody's gotta do it."

"Musk is a key figure within a US administration that is attacking science through executive orders that have systematically targeted the scientific community, cut funding, restricted research and silenced scientists" My op-ed in @resprofnews.bsky.social www.researchprofessi...

Worried that he'll be taken out because he has gone too far and doesn't even know it.

Again, the two most impactful lies of the past half-century have been “Trump is a good businessman” and “Republicans are the good-at-economy party”

BREAKING: Kash Patel has officially been confirmed as FBI Director. This is his current portfolio: - $5 million in stock of Shein’s parent company, Elite Depot - $115,000 Bitcoin - $800,000 $DJT gifted - $100,000 $CORZ - $100,000 $PLTR - $15,000 $RUM - $15,000 $PSQH

This is a red alert for US science, for new cures & treatments for diseases that afflict everyone in this country. This isn't "oh, it will blow over." Soon we will have reached the point of no return destroying what it has taken decades to build. WE NEED TO BE BANGING DOWN THE DOORS IN CONGRESS.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I’ve been warning that the Tech Bros want the S.F. Presidio for a “freedom city”. Now this. 👇 1/

This. Let’s be done with the whole “run government like a business” bs, shall we?

Strong work, @eliowa.bsky.social 👍🏻👍🏻 “The VA and VA research would not exist if it weren’t for the clinician researchers who serve our veterans at the bedside and in the laboratory and the men and women who enlist in the military to protect us all.”

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

Here’s the thing about the White House banishing the AP that makes me crazy How does the rest of the White House press corps not understand that the AP is a proxy for *all the rest of them?

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails. DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

SCOOP: The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position. “I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” she said.

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

Trump and his enablers want to do this again.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

More than challenging American institutions, it is a challenge of whether Americans can be the Americans they have always claimed to be.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

TOMORROW (WED): Rallies are being held across the country to protest the funding cuts to science and the illegal firing of federal workers. Please join if you can. We need to show that many people oppose these destructive attacks on science and healthcare. Details: labor4highered.org

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Again, since Musk is just a random non-Senate-confirmed WH adviser, federal law enforcement should arrest him & march him out in handcuffs when he enters federal agencies & tries to undo things Congress has authorized. Folks need to start remembering that they swore oaths to the Constitution.

The Program Officer of my R01 to be discussed next month was just fired. FIRED. She was going to send me a feedback on a Specific Aims page, but sorry, she was fired. If you are a scientist in the US and haven't gone nuts or lost you mind by know, you are completely delusional.

"The bicycle is a simple solution to some of the world's most complicated problems"

I have no sympathy for those – esp Dems—saying they’re surprised/disappointed that DOGE is a shitshow. Anyone familiar with the Vegas Loop and Tesla Autopilot could see that Musk is a megalomaniacal fraud. Didn't expect this? That's on you.

This.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.
