I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.

Good morning from LA, where things are calm and relatively back to normal.
The 101 is open, people are going to work.
The city did not tear itself apart, there weren’t mass arrests of protesters nor mass injuries of law enforcement.
Philly was worse when the Eagles won.

One of the best lawn signs I’ve seen in a while!

This is a gorgeous photo!

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

I love how his look says so many things with just one facial expression. And yours is just like “fries!” 🏆

Will do!

Ha! Perfection

It’s been on my list for a while now. Maybe this is the sign I need to actually read it…🤔

Yeah it sure does. Makes me think of V for Vendetta…

Can’t amplify this point enough. Tariffs are import taxes paid by Americans, not the target country.

"I hope this email finds you well." How the email found me: Cartoon image shows a woman at a cluttered desk before a computer, the entire office on fire behind her. Her facial expression is slack. She is done. So done.

I hope my bluesky post finds you well.

So you’re saying Friday is great for you so far- how fun @christenrexing.bsky.social! (Blerg to health and medical everything. So. Much. Extra. Work.)

I think next time you should take your own bathrobe, or heck, wear it, just to throw ‘em off. 🫶😎

Saw another #Eagles fan today @christenrexing.bsky.social!!! Guess I’m officially counting 🤭

Fiction vs Reality.

You’re a gem 💎

Ok @christenrexing.bsky.social now you’ve asked for it (insert evil laugh 😈)

Ahhhh interesting…. Yeah that’s not the most fun role I’d imagine…I mean, neither was being on the front reception and calls when I worked up there but at least that was a rotation. Switchboard peeps probably don’t get that… Way to call, tho - thanks!!!!

Nah he was a rather extraordinarily clean cut and quiet dude. I almost said something to him but I was busy getting my anti-bitchy juice (aka coffee) and then he was gone.

Maybe we just need to @ each other more? Hmmm 🤔

Call your Democratic Senators tomorrow and tell them to put down their work on nominations until OMB withdraws its power grab on appropriations. No more nomines go through. None.

I can tell ya from experience, while stuff’s hot, there (should be) someone answering phones in any congressional office that takes its work seriously. Big caveat I know, but…

For the fans…a very good boy.

That’s my guy - full of facial expressions 🤭
