To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

The White House is likely lying. While a U.S. judge cannot order an El Salvador official, or prison, to do anything, if the prisoner is being held at the direction of the U.S. in El Salvador, the U.S. can direct his release to U.S. officials to be returned.

Just found out that one of my closest friends had a PhD offer rescinded because the NIH grant funding the program was cut. He’s considering Europe, as are a lot of researchers and scientists. Our research sector was the envy of the world. We’ll never recover. No hell hot enough

Man it is really hard to be living in the USA right now and getting news about how South Korea deposed their president for staging a coup and then their Supreme Court just said yup, definitely the right thing to do there.

Good news! And watch out, what‘s going to happen is Trump and Musk are going to use more underhanded means to ignore the court order. Will it be bans on paperwork like the Federal Register? Fired grants funding staff? Verbal orders to screw up sign offs?

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Get it out of your head that we are having free and fair elections in 2026. Texas is the model. This right here is tyranny. That's not an exaggeration. They won't do this everywhere, but they'll do it in enough places to ensure they win a majority.

Our trade policies should benefit American workers, not just corporate CEOs. That includes targeted tariffs to stop corporations from outsourcing American jobs & factories. We do not need a blanket, arbitrary sales tax that will raise prices on products that Americans need.

Just heard NICHD had it’s three offices that support science via buying (buying lab and hospital supplies) “eliminated in whole or in part.” This shld make us all angry: the Trumpers who did this DELIBERATELY didn’t say who was being cut, so it would dribble out, slowly, reducing media impact. 1/ 🧪

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Outside of science for a bit: This is about the NSA, and it seems quite likely to be about illegal domestic surveillance. The NSA has enormous capacity to monitor internet and phone activity. This is a massive, massive threat and Congress must act. Now. @aoc.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov

We just heard an "age verification" bill in Montana, and the argument for how it would work was exactly as @evangreer.bsky.social describes—anytime you want to access social media (or an online forum), you would have to scan your face & Artificial Intelligence would guess your age. Truly horrifying
