Here we go. The impacts of #Trump administration rippling through #highered already.

Janet Mills is badass. Way to go! #Maine

The post office provides social good and essential service. Privatization will only hurt the vulnerable, low-income communities. We never hear the US Military losing money, do we? Almost close to $850 Billions USD a year! #USPS www.epi.org/publication/...

‼️The US-based @ipcc.bsky.social technical support unit (TSU) for Working Group 3 Co-Chairs has been terminated, and the US won’t be attending next week’s IPCC meeting where the AR7 chapter outlines will be approved. More by @afreedma.bsky.social here:

Handmaid's tale stuff.

The #GOP is the party that are Christianity friendly and want to restore Christian values. lol #Catholic #refugee www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Genuine question on heat pumps- if you are away and the electricity goes out (like this weekend in the Northeast). There is a risk of frozen pipes if you don’t have a backup heating, right? #heatpump #electricity

White academics, if you REALLY want to disrupt academia and dismantle the imbalances that exist within it, start taking Black, Brown, Indigenous, queer/trans, and disabled scholars' work seriously. Fly us out for interviews. Cite us. Pay us for talks. Treat us like colleagues.

The #GOP and the current administration wants to gut out science and education. They want a population that are docile and manipulative. #NSF #HigherEd

A Nepali student, Prakriti Lamsal, is found to have committed suicide at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology #KIIT after repeated harassment from a student, and the university administration orders all 500 #Nepali students to vacate. #JusticeForPrakriti kathmandupost.com/national/202...

Go figure. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p... #TrumpAirCrash #MuskCrash #FAA

Concerning trends in dry winter for the past several years. #Nepal #Everest

Meanwhile #Texas measles outbreak has doubled. #Cruz about to vacation in Cancun.

Anyone interested in a 2-year postdoc working on modelling ocean alkalinity enhancement and sediment feedbacks? It can be based in Paris or Aix-en-Provence. 🌊

The misinformation on #foreign aid by the US has spread like wildfire in recipient countries like #Nepal. However, the actual impacts of the aid will be devastating for gender and reproductive health #USAID nepalitimes.com/news/trump-s...

This is #WorcesterMA, and we’re pretty fkn queer. Our Queer Ball at City Hall was a powerful outpouring of community, joy, and action. We’re still here giving public comment. Let’s see where this goes.

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

Exactly. Facts and science are not what this administration is about. They want to quash any progressive ideologies and facts, science, education, culture, history, and diversity are all core pillars of that. #scicomm

"Tesla and Musk are losing support among EV intenders and Democratic-leaning buyers faster than they're gaining support from people on the other side of the political spectrum, who tend to be less interested in EVs. " #FAFO insideevs.com/news/750076/...

As illegal as the process is, Elon Musk has found zero fraud. Just found expenditures that is for diversity and equity initiatives or stuff that the right doesn't agree with. #DEI #USAID

If people on @linkedin.com are being a bit more vocal at the current state of affairs, something must be awry

@espn.com These pundits (Stevie Nichols co) were slashing United for beating Leicester (PL team). Now that Liverpool have lost to Plymouth Argyle (last team in the Championship), they are flabbergasted. They are trying to give excuses for #Liverpool The magic of FA Cup #plymouthargyle

Some good news- #Liverpool got beat by #Plymouth Argyle!!!

The attack on science budgets isn’t about efficiency or resource allocation. That’s a weak pretense. Elon and the far right are slashing science budgets because they hate universities which they think are indoctrinating students with a “woke liberal agenda.”

Fair to say that the US is currently rapidly being taken hostage by #technofeudalism

We finally have a LWB and he’s playing on the right. #mufc

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

I realize @bsky.app is still somewhat an echo-chamber but I feel like I have learned so much great science and stories even in the last few weeks like this one! How amazing is this story about #clams monitoring water quality! #Poland
