Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

This is an attack on US science. NSF staff provide critical support for scientific infrastructure and global excellence. These are valuable dedicated public servants. Please contact your reps, write letters, make noise! Are there any plans for rallies at NSF headquarters? Journalists: COVER THIS!

My love for humanity isn't found in our achievements but rather in our resilience. The ability to overcome and defy the impossible odds presented against us merely because we desire to persist at all costs despite the struggles we might endure collectively as a people. We are all in this together.

With RFK Jr being confirmed by the Senate, it is crucial that we be more mindful about how we share information from establishments that can be eroded under his rule. Being a resource of empirical information if you’re related to any of these occupations will be vital to others. 1/

Every single Democrat in office that has refused to aggressively counter the efforts of this current administration out of fear of backlash or the in the interest of maintaining “social etiquette” and being perceived as good guys needs to be voted out in the primaries. The silence is inexcusable.

Watching the OG Spider-Man from my childhood while I’m getting ready to submit this chapter for publication and I forgot how much I love this scene between Harry and Peter because it speaks to the experiences of so many scientists. We just want people to be as excited as us about our niche topics!

I just got an email from @harvard.edu flagging the dire implications of Trump's plan to slash research funding. The author of the e-mail was Alan Gerber, who replaced Claudine Gay after Harvard capitulated to pressure from anti-DEI allies of Elon Musk. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

A virus does not differentiate between parents who are anti-vaxxers and parents who just didn't get around to it. Make an appointment, it's still flu season.

We have tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas and North Carolina and a confirmed death from bird flu in Louisiana. Yet, we have an administration that wants to demolish the department of education and is currently placing restrictions on the NIH, CDC, and public health services…

As someone who’s been in therapy since they were six, I find for a lot of men being a proper ally to women requires being emotionally reliable to yourself and unpacking insecurities rather than making it women’s problem. You’re no help to women if you can’t even help yourself in your personal life.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but there’s this weird sense of guilt I feel when I experience joy talking or studying wildlife considering the state of political disarray right now. I want to passionately make science content, but it doesn’t feel like I’m allowed to. Feels weird.

just found out that a certain “labor reporter” with a decades-long history of violently harassing women and queer people in the labor movement (myself included) is lurking around on here. If you care about workers and Mike Elk follows you, do us all a favor and block him.

I’ve never seen the phrase “draconian sycophant” used in the same sentence to describe powerfully rich people who conform to the interests of another corrupt rich person, but I feel like this is an appropriate usage of the expression.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Being from Southern California originally but growing up in the south one of the major culture shocks for me when I moved back to California for grad school was the number of people that operated under the illusion that they were inherently good people because they were liberal/progressive.

Spent most of the day hiking in the rain and I spotted nine rough-skinned newts (Taricha granulosa) with my partner, and plenty of banana slugs to get away from the chaotic timeline with everything going on, highly recommend! Herps always make everything feel better.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
