We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.
Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.
World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.
Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?
All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.
USAID provides everything from humanitarian assistance and global health interventions to education and conflict prevention.
As climate change impacts ramp up (about 30% of which are the result of cumulative US emissions) these efforts have become ever more critical.
Elon Musk’s staffers entered USAID offices and accessed classified materials without proper clearance. Two senior security officials who tried to stop them were placed on leave. DOGE staffers have since obtained the classified information and carried materials out of the building.
I wish I had better news for you today.
In what appears to be the first time an abortion provider has been criminally charged since Roe was overturned, a Louisiana grand jury has indicted a New York doctor for shipping abortion medication to a teen patient.
Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.
The digital infrastructure of the United States Government is both critical and fragile. Many of us who work in digital government have been trying to figure out what’s going on as norms and protocols are being subverted — Thread on some of what we know so far:
are govt employees expected to exclusively support the presidents agenda? Bc I thought they were there to implement/support law and idk.. support tax payers?
Transgender issues aren’t “a distraction.”
They are the main event for the GOP.
They hate us enough to hurt everyone.
Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
getting excited to go to bed so i can try out my new night guard

watching a lot of science govt job ads getting paused/terminated 😅
We can stop reading the NYT and WaPo any time and support independent journalism instead.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.
With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Buried in the flurry of Executive Orders last night is one that halts all funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Yes, the law that Republicans and Democrats came together to pass that fixes our roads, modernizes old bridges and makes drinking water safer.
everyone who voted for trump: "i don't wanna talk politics" / "people who talk politics will be BLOCKED" so subtle 👀
waking up a total hellscape of news and I'm not quite sure where to begin
if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits
Hair ice!! This is caused by a fungus in the wood. I'm always excited to find it when it gets cold.
Double salute
Prequel by Rachel Maddow - interesting story but the writing hasn't captivated me
