YouTube video by Road Less Marveled May 1, 1969: Fred Rogers testifies before the Senate Subcommittee on Communications

With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.

Kamala Harris is still correct about everything on Trump being the piece of shit that he always has been!

My coping mechanism for dealing with the nonstop deluge of horrors is just putting more cute community building/educational shit into the world. The more horrific shit they shovel onto us the more cute shit they're going to get out of me. I have to recommend this as a coping mechanism.

"Thats an EPA issue" ---> the EPA is getting rid of the protections so clearly the current EPA is uninvolved

"We just need better research" ---> GRANTS WITH THE WORD "CLIMATE" ARE GETTING CUT BECAUSE IT GOES AGAINST ADMIN DESIRES

Excuse me while i geek out over this so hard #GlycoTime

LOLOLOL it hurts, everything hurts lolololloll

"authors should provide benchmarking between their car and the state of the art planes, might be nice to see boats as well for completeness"

"we wrote a paper about this car!"

reviewer 2: "the authors should provide an in depth discussion about why this car cannot fly"

I cannot thank my partner enough for all of the love and support he has given to me over the years. Academia is NOT easy for families (no matter how small the family). I really appreciate him so much for everything he does for me

I'm back home with my dad and have thoughts about being an Indigenous scientist and academic. I'm writing this in real time so it might get disrupted and will have typos.

I am fairly successful by academic standards. I have a tenure track job, wrote papers, have grant funding, mentor students.

Migrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report alleges Incident in which migrants were shackled with hands tied of one succession of alleged abuses at jails in Florida

A Human Rights Watch report reveals widespread abuse of migrants in ICE detention in South Florida, including being shackled, forced to kneel, and eat from styrofoam plates. The findings highlight a human rights crisis worsened by policies that impose cruel treatment on vulnerable individuals.

‘We dissent’: NASA staff declare opposition to Trump cuts Declaration of dissent, which warns that science and safety are at risk, joins similar documents from staff at the EPA and the NIH.

NASA employees have released their own 'dissent' letter, joining NIH and EPA employees in protesting agency changes in the Trump administration. They call it the Voyager Declaration. Words by me: 🧪🛰️

Is it weird to say Trump is kind of good at line art?

did he ever get rejected from an art school?

"I never wrote a coldplay concert in my life" -- summary of today

thoughts and prayers, may the workflows you broke be the workflows you know how to fix

The irony: this gentle hearted comedic genius catapulted his career with a satirical depiction of a dogged conservative American white man, but after shaking off the satirical character "Steven Colbert", he is fired because that American Conservatism he once modeled has built to American fascism.

Hope to see people at DCTV on Monday, and here's a new trailer out today for @heightenedscrutinydoc.com:

I still can’t believe that all NIH grants to my colleagues at Harvard and Harvard Medical School have been nullified. And that, as a nation, we’re somehow okay with this illegal, arbitrary, and petty act. Just think of the consequences: scientists, students, and patients will all suffer.

this would make me so mad lolol

Exactly correct points here but we have to remind ourselves, as frustrating as this is, Trump DOES NOT CARE about being consistent, or even maintaining promises to voters. He cares about riling the base, getting them out to vote, and then dumping anything that doesnt suit him when necessary.

shits getting real bad real fast

i dont know how, but this is worse than i could have imagined.... this is so dangerous.... and like you say like how can we blame the students..... this is so bad.....

At a doctors appointment yesterday and the tech asked what I did, I explain I'm a chemist so on and so forth, she said "wow how long were you in school for"

In that moment, it dawned on me, at this rate I will be "in school" for the REST of my life lol

dare i search this on the internet??

Jasmine Crockett for everything.

I agree that many of the things Tr*mp is doing indeed are illegal. However he does not care and is striking first and counting on the slow courts to take their time in rectifying things later (if ever), in the meanwhile leaving a wake of damage and leaving the populace feeling helpless.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.
