Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?

The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.

True story... My husband has never been a fan of social media, but look at this! He understands the assignment. #nih #sciencematters #neuroscience

Elon is upset that the public is staying informed. So many threats from him lately. We are public servants, not Elon servants.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

What if you have a Republican senator? 😩

Sounds great!!!

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Do not let Trump gaslight you into believing he has a mandate or is all powerful.

Most Americans don't support his agenda.

There will be backlash — and we must make sure it is swift.

We could have had it all… we were so close. #stateoftheunion

We just want to remind you: You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through it together. We’ve seen so many people sharing their feelings of anxiety and stress—please take a moment for yourself. Your well-being matters. Sending you hugs—you are amazing, and we love you all! 💚

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

I’m so fucking ashamed of my country.

The president sits while Elon stands. That tells us who’s really in charge.

Hi, Kevin. Meet Jaws. My 10 year old son is in love with him.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

American science is under attack

Opinion piece by Dr Harold Varmus, Nobel Prize winner, former director of the #NIH and the #NCI 🧪

“Perhaps what’s most disheartening is what feels like the absence of widespread opposition to this unraveling”

Is there even going to be positions at universities in 6 months with funding cuts?

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science to all of the badass women+ and girls out there doing and teaching science and making science a better place for everyone. #IDWGS #WomenInSTEM 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 🎢 🥽 ♾️ 🍎 #AcademicSky #SciComm #SciArt

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more.

Thanks to NIH, we have:
💉 Cancer immunotherapy
❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins
🩸 Insulin for diabetes

Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

#nih cuts affect us all, not just the researchers.

I don’t need or want another social media app. Yet, here I am.

Yes! We follow each other there too! 🥰

Thanks! Please add me!
