Most people aren't tracking this, but the Big Ugly bill would effectively ban marketplace insurers from covering abortion care in ALL 50 states. We can't let this stand. Please help spread the word. Republicans are jamming this bill through—we have to speak up NOW.

Last February, I led a proposal submission that encompassed six months, hundreds of hours, four institutions, a massive team, and and 256 pages. NSF just informed us that the entire Biology Integration Institute program was archived and our proposal would not even be reviewed. With a form email.

This may be the scariest post I’ve ever seen, given that parenthetical clause at the end. HE HAD A LIST.

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

NO MORE INCOGNITO COPS. Show your faces, your badges and judicial warrants or the door stays closed.

Senator Padilla is right. If they can do this to a sitting U.S. Senator, they can do it to anyone. @padilla.senate.gov

I felt like I needed a non-political post, so here's a picture of my plants that I brought home for the summer. Only 3 more wakeups before Break!

Yet another lie. 🤥 www.mediaite.com/media/tv/lap...

So proud of Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes who refuses to cooperate with ICE or Federal immigration, vows to protect Seattleites’ 1st Amendment rights. “I will probably go to jail” he says, because Trump has threatened to jail politicians who oppose him #NoKings mynorthwest.com/local/seattl...

At this point, a best-case scenario is that the parade has to be postponed due to high winds and lightning. Thus, it no longer takes place on Mad King Donald's fucking birthday.

WE'RE DOIN' THIS!

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Seth gets it

The advocacy group Reporters Without Borders said there have been at least 31 attacks on journalists — 27 from law enforcement — since the demonstrations started.

Repost if you think we shouldn’t -kick families off their health care, -push seniors out of nursing homes, -force children to go hungry, -and blow up the national debt...   ...to pass massive tax giveaways for huge corporations & multi-billionaires who are doing just fine.

Sending Marines to face off against citizens on U.S. soil is fundamentally un-American, a MASSIVE waste of taxpayer dollars, and an insult to our servicemembers.   A dangerous and needless escalation by a wannabe dictator.   Everyone must speak out against this abuse of power.

Big update! The city of Glendale has officially TERMINATED its contract with ICE. www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Compone...

You know, when I first got into politics, men would always tell me that WOMEN were too emotional to lead. 🧐

Most federal employees fired by DOGE received fabricated documents justifying their dismissal, complete with bogus performance reviews. Some were labeled “poor performers” despite recently receiving internal awards for excellence. Now, Trump is pushing to expand these purge tactics.

On this 4th day of Pride Month, make sure to love yourself enough to be true to who you are, and give others the space and grace to do the same. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
