Another great sign at #TeslaTakeDown rally yesterday in Golden Valley MN, just outside Minneapolis.

Great signs at #TeslaTakeDown rally outside Minneapolis today!

This is a great idea! NIH funded research could also do a giant oinline teach-in? #VisionScience

Good job, #RussellVought, #ElonMusk, #RFKJr and #JayBhattacharya: "Even using the lower value in calculations, the lost health from the NIH cuts translates into more than $8.2 trillion ($100 000 × 82 million years)." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Latest sign of End Times: a good David Brooks column! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/o... Though it's really when Douthat comes around that we should start watching for Armageddon.

With Trump, the biggest BS is always gold. The gold 747 from Qatar, the "Golden Dome" missile defense, the Science Golden Standard, his obsession with the Gilded Age, the golden toilets...

It's not just he NY Times, virtually all reporting neglects to say that when the Trump Administration "loses a court battle" what that means is they were purposefully breaking the law. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Funny because it is true! www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

What happens when people who dont believe in science get control of science....

We certainly have our work cut out for us- if you think this is true, then you should be spending as much (of your free unpaid) time on politics as you do on research.

Over the long run, Trump’s broad spectrum attack on scientific research is going to do tremendous damage to the country and the world. www.slowboring.com/p/trumps-war...

Great #bluelawnsigns #blueboards in Pittsfield Mass!

Got out over the freeway this AM. Great response! @bridgebrigade.bsky.social @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social @indivistwincities.bsky.social

Does anyone know the size of the cuts to NIH that were in the house bill passed this morning? The sooner we know the better we will be able to fight them! @alt-nihscience4all.altgov.info @jeremymberg.bsky.social @carlbergstrom.com

On our lawn today. Nice day after a couple days of rainouts. #blueboards #bluelawnsigns

The definitive analysis of 2024 is out, and not to dwell on the past but it's good news! Dems lost a ton of ground w/young voters, latino voters, and infrequent voters. But even given that, we only lost by a few 100K votes. >Lots< of opportunity to make up that gap! catalist.us/whathappened...

New Forbes story about the economic consequences of science cuts. www.forbes.com/sites/johndr... Thoughtful and thorough analysis. 1/n

Weekly corner rally Mondays at 4:30 in Edina! >Lots< of positive honks yesterday from passing cars. People are upset! @indivistwincities.bsky.social
