Stand Up for Science!

On the top of the photo is black test reading: "Measles outbreaks don't make America healthy." Below that is a photo of a woman holding a baby with measles. Below that is an article title reading: "Measles Cases Hit 34-Year High as US Vaccines Norms Crumpled" with a sub-text reading: "Health officials warn more diseases could spike as immunisations fade." Below that is bold black text reading: "SAVE LIVES. REMOVE RFK JR.". Below that is the: "Stand Up For Science" logo.

The top of the photo has large red boxes with white text reading: "ACTION MENU". Below that in a blue box is a link reading: "standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr". Below that is a checklist of three tasks. "1. Endorse our articles to IMPEACH and REMOVE RFK Jr." "2. Contact your House Representative to ask them to CO-SPONSOR the articles." "3. SHARE WIDELY! The more pressure we create, the more changes we can make!" Below that is bold black text reading: "SAVE LIVES. REMOVE RFK JR.". Below that is the "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE" logo.

For the first time in 25 years the United States is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status due to misinformation about vaccines from RFK Jr.. Measles weakens the immune system and opens doors for other illnesses that can become deadly. #RemoveRFKJr, Save Lives.

A red flyer with the words “scientists against ice. Stand up for science calls for a general strike 1/23/26 Minnesota. Mobilize the fight for science and democracy”

Stand Up for Science stands in solidarity with our friends, colleagues, and neighbors who are united against ICE today.

We have a moral imperative to respond to human rights abuses and to link arms in solidarity against injustice.

This trial is all shades of unethical - and par for the course for a HHS that could not care less about killing people while they pursue anti-scientific ends.

An HHS with RFK Jr at its head will be unethical. It's time we removed him. Take action with us at standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

Pretty illuminating that while HHS is trying to do this unethical experiment on Africans, they're also treating its health institutions with utter disrespect.

The US is bracing for extreme weather. Republicans are making it harder to forecast and prepare for it. Headline screenshot: A massive winter storm will hit large parts of the US through the weekend. Picture of the winter storm moving east over a map of the US, with severity of the storm indicated in gradations of red to blue.

Republicans in Congress are shutting down NCAR. The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO, is home to scientists that track and forecast our weather. They maintain large-scale models, collect data, and accurately pinpoint when dangerous weather conditions start to develop. Picture of two scientists looking at a monitor.

As weather becomes more extreme, accurate forecasts mean better preparation. Better preparation can mean the difference between saving people's lives, or stranding them. If Congress shuts down NCAR, we will be flying blind. Take Action to #SaveNCAR tr.ee/save-ncar

As Americans are hunkering down this weekend, congressional Republicans are stripping away the science that keeps us safe and prepared for future extreme weather.

NCAR isn't just a lab, it's the beating heart of US meteorology.

All in a year’s work. RFK Jr.’s relentless assault on vaccines has been wildly successful for the anti-vaccine agenda and detrimental to us all. A rundown of what he has managed to accomplish in such a short time should terrify everyone. A 🧵

Impeach RFK, Jr.

We need to treat this infection urgently.

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Trump administration takes aim at satellite that measures carbon dioxide and crops : NPR share.google/RVwnyGFBpim4...

Trump’s anti-climate agenda won’t just hurt the planet, but American incomes too In this week’s newsletter: US earnings would be 12% higher without the climate crisis, a study reveals – and the hotter the world gets, the greater the economic losses

Hurting the climate while hurting the economy does no good for Americans. The science shows that the EPA policy rollbacks and changes in climate data reporting is nothing to benefit from, which is why we must push back against this administration.

I NEED EVERYONE YO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BUDGET IS NOT THE ISSUE. THIS MONEY IS ABOUT TO BE SPENT ON UNETHICAL PSEUDOSCIENCE.

All y'all should be following Colette, who co-runs Stand Up for Science @standupforscience.bsky.social. They are fighting vociferously against Trump and *especially* RFK Jr., who is literally a pox upon our nation.

DeGette Introduces Bill to Protect NIH From Political Interference WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-01), Ranking Member of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, introduced the Follow the Science Act to shield the National Institutes...

YES! A step in the right direction. After a horrendous year for science & the #NIH, it is imperative to protect it from political interference. NIH's success is due to decisions based on science, not political ideology.

Science does not belong to politicians.

Win! New bipartisan health deal boost $4.6B to community health centers for 2026!... but there's still much more to be done. A continued lack of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act means continued spiking premiums for Americans.

@standupforscience.bsky.social made a sweet new action page - it makes it easy for you to write and/or call your senators and tell the how much you love NCAR and high quality weather alerts and reports (and so much more)!

When we are informed, we are prepared. When we are prepared, we save lives. NCAR keeps us informed.

What we know about the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services study on cellphone radiation The study builds on Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s claims linking them to both cancer and neurological damage.

A heat map of the US in shades of purple and grey showing where the most letters were sent!

Yesterday, you all sent over 800 letters to House Reps calling on them to co-sponsor articles of impeachment against RFK Jr.!!! Here's a heat map (since you dorks like data lol).

You can do it every day and it takes literally 5 seconds after you've done it once: fight2win.standupforscience.net

The world is leaving America behind.

Privacy Notice

The National Cancer Institute & several former federal studies have concluded that cellphone radiation does not cause cancer or neurological issues; the FDA has recently removed these studies from the web and RFK Jr. is launching a study to make up his own science. ⬇️

Graphic helps visualize how MYF funds FEWER grants despite the increase in budget approval by Congress. https://www.researchamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/ACT-for-NIH-Multi-Year-Funding-One-Pager_October-2025.pdf

🧪IMPORTANT! This graphic explains how science all over the US is funded. Congress approved a 2% increase in the #NIH budget for FY 26.

Buried in the bill-
Shift of ~40% of grants to MYF. This will still result in a 35% DECREASE in the NUMBER of grants funded per yr.

Russel Vought is behind this.

RFK Jr.’s policies kill!

The top of the photo reads: "Cancelling Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) prevention programs doesn't make America healthy." An infant baby is shown with an article title below reading: "NIH cancels participation in Safe to Sleep campaign that decreased infant deaths", followed by, "Nonprofits scramble to continue program despite 'devastating' loss of federal support". On the bottom of the photo is text reading: "Save Lives Remove RFK Jr.". Below that is the "Stand Up for Science" logo.

The top of the photo reads: "Action Menu". Below that is a link: "standupforscience.net/impeach_rfkjr". Below that is three numbered tasks on how to help impeach RFK Jr. 1. "Sign our petition to IMPEACH and REMOVE RFK Jr.". 2. "Contact your House Representative to ask them to CO-SPONSOR the articles." 3. "Share widely! The more pressure we create, the more changes we can make!" Below the final point is bold black text reading: "SAVE LIVES. REMOVE RFK JR.". On the very bottom of the photo is the "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE" logo.

In early 2025, RFK Jr., canceled SIDS research programs, as secretary of HHS. Help us #impeachrfkjr to save infant's lives and restore SIDS research.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I know @repgwenmoore.bsky.social will do the right thing, but it literally took me 30 seconds to use this tool to email her anyway. Adults are free to make their own terrible choices, but RFK's HHS is making policies that put children's lives in danger, and that's unacceptable to me.

Easy to do.

It isn't the first time @repdean.bsky.social, has heard from me on the topic. I have every confidence that she has the courage, will, and interest to continue standing against the buffoonery of RFK and the dismantling of both public health and the academic research that powers med sci.
