Cutest grumpy ever.

Speaking truth to imbecilic weakness.

Here's an update on the Dr in Idaho that was forcibly removed from a town hall. LEAR Asset Management were the muscle and the Kootenai County Sheriff ordered her being silenced. #DoNotObeyInAdvance #resist #DissentIsCourageous www.newsweek.com/woman-forcib...

Today’s Oaxaca, Mexico wall art. The world understands.

Not the white man for the moment. bsky.app/profile/atru...

INDISPUTABLE FACTS: •Russia invaded Ukraine. •Ukraine bears no responsibility for Russia’s invasion. •Russian aggression is a threat to the entire world. •We stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We stand w/all the people of Ukraine. Follow all: WE ARE THE OPPOSITION. go.bsky.app/AMZH6uh

And here are those CDC data www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

She's standing behind the other one.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

On this page is a very brief form to exempt a child in ID from all required vaccinations. A parent can check a box indicating “religious/other” exemption. No explanation and no medical info are needed. ID has the lowest vaccination rates in the US according to an Oct 2024 CDC report.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Starve Putin.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

I sat through an interview for a dean this week and asked what the plan was to ensure his vision for research given the cuts already implemented and coming. He literally said, “We just have to stay the course.” I think my eyebrows departed the top of my head. There are no plans.

Now at 90 cases, TX DSHS is promoting vaccination for measles. I had to read this several times to be sure I wasn’t imagining this. www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/...

I love biology. Thanks for posting!

Yep, the orange thing will threaten them and they will crawl back under their rocks.

We told you so, elected supporters of the orange thing.

I’m glad that people like JB Pritzker are leading us.

Dark Pence is back.

No study section or council meetings posted in the Federal Register since 21 January. Checking notes. Yep, how to end biomedical science.

Absolutely.

I think we’re all hopeful idiots at this point.

I could watch this all day, every day.

Firings happening right now at the NSF.

For anyone out there who thinks anti-DEI is just about eliminating job protections, THIS is what anti-DEI has unleashed. Don’t look away. Read this.

Thank you, KU. Please be safe. Public health is up to us now.

There are reasons. People will die and this will be terrifying. But they won’t care because it’s another pile of money to pay off the giant tax breaks for the ultra rich.

I think we know the answer to this.

it's a fuckin coup. So i updated starter pack. These are all great people to follow. . I've been following most of 'em across platforms for years. go.bsky.app/4jnk7sf

My husband and I performed a tableau in the grocery exclaiming that it was inconceivable that egg prices hadn’t come down…..but what a big win that we no longer had to be pestered by that idiot CDC director of H5N1 surveillance.

This week all letterhead had to be updated. No explanation, nothing looked different. Someone pointed out the small print always there in light gray in the footer, “To enrich education through diversity….” was quietly removed. I felt sick realizing that I’ve literally taken that for granted.
