Surprise, surprise!! GOP trying to make eugenics popular again, while also using the govt to pressure people into 1950s nuclear families!

They want to take money from child care programs (e.g., HeadStart) & give it to families that stay home and rear children (guess which parent stays home).

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this.

Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

I thought elephants were supposed to have long memories, but here comes Tulsi Gabbard with the memory of goldfish. #signalgate

Trump: "I have nothing to do with Project 2025!"
Trump Administration: *completes over a third of Project 2025's goals*

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.

When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Know the truth.

In support of today's #marchforscience, I am sharing this excellent report from my colleagues on the consequences of removing LGBTQ data. This is only the tip of iceberg of the Trump Administration's war of science, facts, and the truth.

I had a fantastic time at my first Jazz Brunch! So wonderful to be in community with the friends and supporters of my organization, @williamsinstitute.bsky.social, and to see one of my reports on workplace discrimination of LGBTQ employees highlighted 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I am a urologist. I don’t administer any vaccines in my practice so y’all can stop saying that I am pro-vaccine because of financial incentive. I am pro-vaccines because they save lives and prevent disease.

Hard to overstate how radical a departure from regulatory norms (and rollback of transparency) this would be.

If I had to have only one message to everyone in 2025, it's this:

STOP. COMPLYING. IN. ADVANCE.

STOP DOING THE WORK OF TYRANNY FOR THE TYRANTS!!

Seriously, grow a fucking spine and stand up for what's right. Seeing a whole lot of spinelessness in recent months...

This is extremely disappointing from the folks who own Star Trek, a franchise built around the concept of IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations 🖖 Another spineless company that only supported #blacklivesmatter and DEI because it was en vogue. #cancelparamount

Check out my latest work on the experiences of workplace discrimination and harassment among Black LGBTQ workers. #blackhistorymonth #blacklivesmatter

Our veterans deserve better care, not worse!

Had a wonderful time presenting to UCLA undergrads with my @uclarepropolicy.bsky.social colleague @cathrencohen.bsky.social about the future of reproductive rights under the Trump Administration for UCLA Sex Week! #thekidsarealright

Trans folks, especially trans women, aren't just more likely than cis folks to be victimized - they are FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY!! #defendtranslives

You cannot recover from this with future investments

The data uncollected are lost forever

I truly cannot understate how much damage Trump and his ilk are doing to US research.

Ohhhhh, I never thoooooought the leopards would eat my face 🎶

Speaking as a queer person... I am so fucking exhausted. Rest in power, Muhsin. May the seeds you planted flourish, even though you did not live to see them 😔

*heavy breathing* does it come in silver?!

One more #healthpolicyvalentines for #ValentinesDay 💘

Roses are red,
Their thorns cut like a knife,
How close to death does someone have to be,
Before they can get an abortion to save their life?
