No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

No Kings Day in June:

5-6 million people
2,169 communities
27 countries

The sequel is going to be even bigger.

How We Tracked Workforce Reductions at Federal Health Agencies When the Trump administration refused to reveal how many workers had left federal health agencies, ProPublica turned to a federal employee directory to quantify the impact. Here’s how we did it.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

While children are starving, the Trump Admin is literally setting food on fire — destroying 500 
tons of US taxpayer-funded food that could feed 1.5 million starving children for a week.

Destroying the food alone will cost $130K. This is heartless cruelty, not efficiency.

After 7 Decades of Measurements From a Peak in Hawaii, Trump’s Budget Would End Them

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

‘Science Fair’ of Lost Research Protests Trump Cuts A protest at a congressional office building highlighted future research findings that vast cuts to science will erase

Thousands of research projects—some years in, with taxpayer money already spent—were wiped out by Trump’s budget cuts.

At the Science Fair of Lost Research, scientists showed what was lost: cancer breakthroughs, climate solutions, public health progress.

Canceled grants get the spotlight at a Capitol Hill 'science fair' On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the federal cuts that now threaten it.

Capitol Hill just hosted a science fair with a twist:

🔬 Nobel winners & other leading scientists stood by posters showing their work — and the cuts now gutting it.

They came from across the country, many paying their own way, to call attention to the serious risks these cuts pose to our future.

It's hard to avoid recalling this passage from the English historian Tony Judt:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent hits the target. She is reminding us of the stakes in this case. And she is spot on.

Impressive No Kings turnout in tiny Hamilton NY with the university students on break… #nokings #hamiltonNY overheard: “I didn’t know there were so many people in Madison County that feel the way I do!”

Reminder that 988 and the crisis text line are both connected to emergency services and can track location. The other numbers here are not!

You're not alone, please reach out for help if you need it! The cruelty is the point and we all need to stick together & use our resources to make it through.

The World’s Most Urgent Scientific Question https://wmo.int/news/media-centre/wmo-confirms-2024-warmest-year-record-about-155degc-above-pre-industrial-level There is no question more urgent than the one indicated by that red arrow in the graph...

Global average temperatures are spiking, rising faster than climate models seem able to explain, and in a sane world, every country would be united in a full-scale effort to figure this out & respond. Instead the US is dismantling its scientific infrastructure.

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

US weather forecasting is more crippled than previously thought as hurricane season nears | CNN Several current and former agency meteorologists and staff told CNN they are concerned warnings won’t be issued in time as hurricane season nears.

NEW: US weather forecasting is in worse shape than previously known, with 30 NWS forecast offices missing meteorologists-in-charge and about a dozen offices at risk of no longer serving their communities 24/7. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.

Let me repeat, as someone who has a degree in both emergency management and public health: THIS IS BIOTERRORISM
