AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Call your reps (find their numbers at reps.fyi). Say: "I'm a constituent, I'm calling because I just heard that NIH funding is going to hurt research and hospitals here in Ohio and I oppose this. What is [rep] going to do about it?"

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research? All of them.

Tonight in changing the way NIH grants are awarded, trump has threatened to take 100s of millions (each) from the country’s universities. The stakes could not be higher for biomedical research, higher ed, and hospitals but also for the economy. Call your reps! @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

higher ed is the largest employer in 10 states and in over 60% of the 100 largest cities. destruction of federal research funds is economic sabotage.

The problem with American political discourse is that you can’t explain the impact of tariffs to people dumb enough to think DEI programs cause plane crashes.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

The antidote for despair is action ❤️ * Dial (202) 224-3121 * Enter zip code * Leave voicemail * Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so) “The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.” Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅

Context for people not in LA: Red and orange outlined areas are areas w evacuations in effect or on the brink of effect. Fire symbols are active fires. The city is an inferno and fire forces are out of water in some areas. Climate change is here and terrifying.

This is some truly epic, apocalyptic shit. I’ve been through four decades of L.A. fires, earthquakes and floods. This is something else altogether.

This footage is from the fire that hit Altadena, California last night. The firestorm hit without warning and people barely escaped with their lives. Please consider donating to the fire victims if you have the means. 💔
