“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.”
— Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize
Once again I remind people that laws should not be your guiding heuristic on how you view or treat others.
Laws are built on the biased and often bigoted sensibilities of the powerful.
Empathy and basic decency (as defined in a way not dependent on anyone's legal status) are a better foundation.
Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.
Tens of thousands of healthcare professionals and scientists warned the Senate of the dangers of installing RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary. Everything we warned about is coming to fruition as the TX measles outbreak has grown to 124 cases and he continues to cast aspersions on vaccines.
To my east coast fam. Show up for queer and trans kids.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.
Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.
A good simple way to understand my motives and ethics:
I don’t like cruelty.
I’ve seen many ways of trying to justify cruelty, appealing to moral ideas, to justice, to great causes.
But it’s never necessary. Even force can be measured to only go as far as needed.
Whatever you do, don’t be cruel.
I’ve never been so happy to be unpopular.
Sometimes you just have to say “fuck you” with a flourish
Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"
Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.
I’m heading to the Senate floor right now to speak through midnight to make it clear: we cannot confirm Russell Vought to the Office of Management and Budget. Tune in to C-Span and find out why…
Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.
The Nazis really are rebranding "Judeo-Bolshevism" as "DEI," aren't they
This is all so rancid and dangerous
Would love to see pics of those of you who are at the Protests today!!
I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls
I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
USDOT has released an order stating that they will de-prioritize giving transportation funds to states that have vaccine or mask mandates. All states have vaccine mandates for school entry. There is no clarity or reasoning provided for this statement. Link below. H/t: @ericasalem.bsky.social
Trump’s funding cuts could impact HIV treatment, mental health services, and public education — which are all federally-supported services and programs that people rely on. It is not only unjust and illegal to halt financial support, it is inhumane.

The irony is that these same politicians were the ones touting the Constitution.
It seems that these self-appointed Constitutionalists favored the Constitution w/o Amendments: the one that protected White, Protestant, Men with $.
The same ones who can buy their way out of consequence anyway.
To be clear:
He’s started putting PEOPLE into concentration camps.
It’s like we’ve seen this before in our history classes.
Hi+ler is his hero.
Let that sink in.
USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
This isn’t a political contest.
This is a power struggle
