It’s giving “Let them eat cake” vibes. Although there’s no evidence that Marie Antoinette actually said it, we still know that things didn’t end well for French nobility. We the people stand ready to help them learn an important lesson from history.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place before all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Saw my senator on the news talking about how he had hoped the dickhead-in-chief (DIC) would do XYZ or honestly act as DIC said he would ages ago, and I’m like, huntie, STOP HOPING DIC DOES OR STICKS TO ANYTHING. DIC IS NEVER TO BE TRUSTED. DIC IS ALWAYS DISHONEST. Instead, come out swinging. 🥊

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Facts don’t bend to your feelings. Your offense or gutfeeling doesn’t rewrite reality. Logic and evidence remain true whether you like them or not. Your emotions are valid, but aren’t a substitute for facts. 1/2

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.

While I still want to do more with my science degree, I’m glad that I got it when I did. I’m scientifically literate. I know things that I can use to keep myself and others safe. Some may try to erase science from the country, but they cannot erase it from my mind.

A bunch of NASA Twitter accounts are getting "archived". It is unclear what this means. Accounts I've identified so far in image with alt-text. As @kerbal01.bsky.social said, NASA is Thanos snapping twitter accounts. Dr Chris Combs described it as "Red Wedding Stuff".

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

Let me say this with my full chest: FFFFFFUUUUUUCCCCKKKK YOU RFK, JR. I want vaccines and science-based medicine. You don’t know what you think you know because you’re not a scientist. I am. Go take your snake oil treatments, and see how that works out for you.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

This is why I get a little sensitive when I hear people wholesale complain about news media and journalists. Yes, some criticism is due, but journalism is a public service, a public good. Journalists watchdog for you.

I have this private schema that I have never offered up for scrutiny that biology is information contained in life, culture is information created by life, and technology is information contained in things created by life. I think it’s time…please scrutinize…
