I campaigned for Obama & was disappointed by him. Then I campaigned for Bernie & was disappointed by the entire Dem party. Now I campaign for minimum wage increases, climate awareness, tenants rights, social services, & human rights.

I love this.. wts demand that house and Senate Republicans cut their office budgets.

Our new government has 0 intention of future fair elections

Amazing . The #usa can't seem to even think something is wrong with this. #were#1

I guarantee that a preponderance of the at-risk 600+k Virginians are Trump supporters. If this comes to pass, I wonder how they'll end up excusing Trump and blaming "woke", "DEI", "liberals", "immigrants" and everyone NOT responsible for their pain & suffering? www.wtkr.com/news/health/...

Am I correct that #costco is also sticking with #dei?

Omg look at these numbers and look quickly . Because they are #rewritinghistory on a daily basis.

#TRUMP/Musk Is stripping the #CDC of over 100 disease investigators . That's about half!

Today #Trump/Musk is firing hundreds of #FAAemployees. Because, rather than l running air traffic with a goal of no accidents he is happy to run planes into the ground. That way he can easily sell off FAA to private businesses, who will BTW, have #feduciaryresponsibity to their #shareholders.

So glad to see the judicial branch is still working, to done degree . #nihfunding

wtf is this? lol

Yesterday was #womeninscienceday and I just want to say that trump's proposal to tax scholarship money would add unneeded debt to a girl who is a #chemistry wizard.

Hakeem Jeffries is not the #firebrand we need. What we need is to get money out of politics.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Do you think our children should pay for Trump's corporate tax breaks by paying 'taxes' on their hard earned #scholarships? This is an attempt to keep poor kids out of college. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

So today I learned that the Dog-E is trying to dissolve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Why? Does he plan to start a Bank?

Everything seems to come back to corruption.

We need a verb to describe the act of posting something on Blue sky . I propose we call it #airing. In a sentence I might say, "I am going to AIR that on bluesky. " Please let me know if a word has already been established or if a different word has been established for this purpose.

How long does PubMed have? How long will BLAST be up? Genome browser? We have the funding to keep these tools up, we have the expertise, we have the people. Loss of these tools would cost billions to replace by the private sector and academia. Inefficient destruction with no upside

New attorney general encourages corruption from foreign nationals. x.com/davidsirota/...

He speaks about this like he's read the journal article. What morsel of science did this concept start with?

This is such a whole hearted salute to fascism

Sadly true

After work today I discovered that, as part of #project 2025, Trump's team is working on getting rid of the Women's Education Equity Act b/c a woman's place is in the home raising babies.

Our government is getting dismantled rather rapidly .

So today at work I'm told that discussing the ending of the EEOC l, is not ok, b/c it's too political! The EEOC, shaped the america I grew up in, and its cancellation is the reason I want my straight A chem major-daughter to get out of this country before she graduates college.

So today, trump revoked the EEOC from 1965 that LBJ signed. Trump's thinking is apparently based on the thought that by not discriminating based on race, religion, or gender, for hiring, promotions and pay, you ARE discriminating against white christian men.

I woke up today to discover The Interior Department of President Donald Trump’s administration said it has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and the Alaskan peak Denali to Mount McKinley It makes one wonder, who wanted this?
