No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

If an institution is encouraging you to avoid words like "trans" be it on slides,talks,meetings, grants you name it as a way of being "cautious", remember they will do exactly same if the word is "Black", "Hispanic", "Indigenous", "Woman" etc. Sit with that for a minute, then decide what u will do.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars. This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once: Congress must immediately act. That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

But then again a lot of places thought that if they just hire a new Black person everytime they burn out the old ones It’s the same as believing in DEI and welp look where that got us

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

If you have ever wondered how you’d have responded to enslavement, Jim Crow laws, or Nuremberg laws in Nazi Germany, your response to the racism, re-segregation, and fascism that is happening NOW is a good indicator.

Leopards Eating Faces & FAFO may be cathartic, but I'd bet that most Trump voters have no regrets. Millions are thrilled at the speed of this takeover. We'll move on from leopards and FAFO as things get materially worse. It won't be about whose fault it was. It'll be about helping folks to survive.

FOTUS, his cabinet, racist/fascist lawmakers, & MAGAs continue to promote racist ideologies & beliefs that made enslavement & genocide possible. EOs & policies put in place to institutionalize & normalize these racist beliefs. Next thing, they’ll be repealing the 13th. Resist with all you’ve got.

The two allies that stretch along the United States’ borders and with whom the country has enjoyed mutual benefits have issued retaliatory tariffs in self-defense. An unaccountable foreign billionaire has taken over all data at the Treasury. Congress is off for the weekend. It is day 12.

Today was a day of mass censorship. Sending love & solidarity to all the amazing career scientists in government. For the rest of us: Now is not the time to self-censor or comply in advance. More than ever we need to stand by the principles of our profession and always keep speaking truth to power.

Colleges & universities must call these EOs what they are—harmful. We can’t engage in harm reduction if we can’t even acknowledge inherent & explicit harm. We must reaffirm support for the work & communities under attack. Anything less is in contrast to the values we espouse.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.
