Ever so grateful (and relieved) to Congressman Levin (@levin.house.gov) for his position on the House Appropriations Committee. We (UCSD) are fortunate to work with you during these formidable and difficult times! #SaveScience #SaveDemocracy #AdvocateForScience levin.house.gov/media/press-...

Funny, but it desecrates a good story. It should be the Wizard and his minions!

This is brilliant in its simplicity. Sad truth ... but truth nonetheless!

FRIDAY, FEB. 28, buy only from small, independent businesses, not massive companies, especially avoiding Amazon, Walmart & Best Buy. Raise awareness of the enormous power of our collective action & set the stage for bigger future actions. #WeHaveThePower

‼️ We have a major election coming up that puts Wisconsin in danger of a MAGA takeover. Workers' rights, abortion rights, and many more constitutional freedoms are at risk in the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Take action to support Susan Crawford today. app.sosha.ai/s/SdCWv4c6

Susan Crawford has spent her career fighting for Wisconsin.She needs our (your) help now to elect her to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to protect the liberal majority. Please contribute your time and support to her campaign!!! Thank you! app.sosha.ai/s/QfTYfOJi

Absolutely horrific!! My heart goes out to all these rangers!!! www.walb.com/2025/02/18/i...

The Native American rights activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the killing of two FBI agents in 1975, will serve the remainder of his two life sentences in home confinement. The commutation of his sentence was one of Joe Biden’s final acts before leaving office.

I wish I knew who to credit for this great illustration. It is brilliant! And it's the #GulfOfMexico and has been since the Nahuatl term (from the Aztecs) was first given!

Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin! 🎉🎂 The great British naturalist whose groundbreaking work "On the Origin of Species" forever changed our understanding of the natural world. He strongly opposed slavery and recognized the shared origins of all humans 🌱🔬 Happy #Darwin Day! 🦋🐦

I’m so pleased to welcome the Aspen Ideas: Climate Conference to Chicago. Our state is a proud leader in the Midwest in fighting climate change, and Chicago is the perfect place to host such an important gathering.

Hey MAGA, anyone want to explain to me why getting rid of the agency that has prevented another 2008-style financial crisis is a good thing?

I definitely didn't vote for this person! 🤬

This article gives an excellent overview of the impact on universities and US research will be if the announced cuts to NIH indirect cost rates hold. Not good www.forbes.com/sites/brucel...

🚨 Thanks to our lawsuit, the world's richest man has been stopped from stealing your data. DOGE's unrestricted access to Treasury systems is incredibly dangerous, and this emergency order halting their access proves it. I'll never stop fighting to protect our residents.

Vigorously #pushback against @elonmusk & @realDonaldTrump

And with RFK Jr. at the helm, it’ll go from bad to apocalyptic… abcnews.go.com/Health/us-da...

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Really happy to have attended “The Siren’s Call” event to be at Temple Beth Israel in San Diego with @chrislhayes.bsky.social and @harrylitman.bsky.social!! #SirensCall
