I want to tell you a story. In 2015, I was in the small Lithuanian city of Panevežys, standing with the locals, watching a military parade. But this was no ordinary parade, because marching alongside the Lithuanian troops were our American allies.🧵1/17

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now is political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

‘There is a habit of people saying "science should not be political", but science changes our world and our possibilities so it has no choice but to be political. This collection of essays is a vital read in a world so often obscured by those whose only interest is money’ - @robinince.bsky.social

Starting to binge on this guy's videos. He makes a lot of sense. Oh, for the world to be led by CONSCIENTIOUS economists (and biologists, naturally)! But people do like voting in governments that the right wing media tell them to. I blame free will! 😜 #ZATAOSLOE www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRAf...

YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS: CDC disease detectors—fired. The Trump administration is using a hatchet, not a scalpel, to slash jobs during a bird flu and measles outbreak. At this rate, we’ll be relying on word of mouth for disease outbreaks like it’s the 1700s.

Elon Musk is requesting all the IRS data so he can see all the taxes everybody has paid. One of the first things the Nazis did was go through Social Security data and find everybody who had never worked. They then murdered every disabled person who hadn't.
