Man, our institutions need to form an "alert circle"

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

Some troubling information A red banner appeared on the NeMO (The Neuroscience Multi-omic) webpage. "This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives." What effing Administration directives relate to a neurosciece multi-omic repository? 1/3

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.” A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/h...

My translation of a viral Japanese meme summarizing decades of U.S. complaints about Japan not buying enough American cars (while not making the kind of cars Japanese consumers actually want):

Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

It's National Public Health Week, the saddest one in memory. We have lost a generation of scientists and public servants, whose institutional memory and works in progress will be lost to our nation with their abrupt dismissals www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Trump is next to an indicted war criminal. In almost an hour, NOT A SINGLE QUESTION from any journalist about the bombing of schools, starvation of Gazans or last week’s mass murder of paramedics by Israeli forces. If you wonder how genocide is allowed to unfold, this is how.

Trump skipped a ceremony for fallen soldiers to play golf but don't forget the time Biden did something worse: attended the same ceremony and looked at his watch

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

Video obtained by @nytimes.com confirms the IDF fired on and killed clearly identified Red Crescent medics in Gaza. 15 were killed. Satellite pics analyzed by @ckoettl.bsky.social & @sanjanamv.bsky.social show the IDF then buried the medics andambulances. Story 👇 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

Chicago tells trump and musk and the rest of the Hitler youth to FUCK OFF www.youtube.com/live/6faEOSr...

Wow Chicago! #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne (🎥 Marco Foster)

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

What!? According to 'Alien Enemy Validation Guide'"wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey is enough to indicate TdA loyalty"? www.sportico.com/business/com... As a Chicagoan, this is crazy and should be completely ILlegal to profile like this and deport forever to jail w/o due process!! #ChicagoBulls #Nike

In some parts of American Christianity the theology is so flawed, and the culture is so broken, that evangelicals don’t see Trump contradicting their values at all — he’s exactly like the men and women who lead their church. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000. Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600. The US must end its complicity. Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

The emperor is a lunatic. The emperor has no clothes

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

How I will remember April Fools' Day 2025. Reckless. My heart is out for these dedicated folks at NIH, FDA and CDC www.statnews.com/2025/04/01/h...

Former FDA commissioner on LinkedIn:

NEW: Per a source with knowledge, the entire HHS Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy, or OIDP, was just fired.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Scripps Research Institute have developed a groundbreaking UNIVERSAL coronavirus vaccine that triggers STONG immune responses AND shows promise in neutralizing MULTIPLE coronaviruses, including those responsible for causing COVID-19, MERS, AND even the “common cold.” 🧪🧵⬇️

I’m not going to be able to tell you about the consequences of EVERY lost grant, but I’m going to try. Let’s start with the Antiviral Drug Discovery (AViDD) program for pathogens of pandemic concern! It just got unceremoniously shitcanned.

Your lady gave you 30 chances to fix it. You thought her staying meant she accepted that you weren't going to fix it. Whole time she planning the smoothest escape since Houdini died. Deposit on her new place, lawyer retained, friends have been briefed. You were the first to know and last to believe.

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

Perfection

Sen. Kelly: Was there any mention, Miss Gabbard, of a weapon or weapons system? Director Gabbard: I don’t recall specific weapons systems being named.

How stupid are the Trump people? If they apologized, admitted it was terrible, had accountability, acknowledged classified info in there, and didn't attack Goldberg, blaming him for this, Goldberg would not have released the new trove today that included the war plans, blowing up the story further.

At a packed town hall Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern proposed a general strike to combat the Trump administration's assault on the federal government.

DO It!
