Same here. Half our income. Bills going late or partially-paid. My spouse still having to work (and work OVERTIME) for no money.

And we were happy to muddle through, because the cause was worth it.

Absolutely disgusted with Senate Dems.

Then why’d you cave?

Medical Research Funding: Timeline — Unbreaking How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

We have a new timeline up today on our Medical Research Funding page, documenting the onslaught of political, legal, and bureaucratic attacks on medical research since January:

Trust the scientific process. Science by its nature is dynamic, always discovering new knowledge. Rather than simply trusting science, we want to trust the scientific process, and sometimes the path of discovery is steep and windy and full of switchbacks.

As an immigrant scientist in the U.S., travel bans and visa uncertainty are taking a toll “I began to question whether I truly belonged,” this postdoc writes

I can’t imagine the stress of immigrant scientists and international students in the United States these days

The Resistance Is Growing What happens next?

No American president has ever had so many people protest against him, because no American president has ever been so deserving.

Sad to see this piece of US history thoughtlessly destroyed. I remember taking the White House tour as a kid, like so many other Americans. 😢

From the team that brought you friendseverywhere.network, we are launching a new effort to Boycott Home Depot!

Austin, Texas showed up in mass for democracy and against monarchy!
#NoKings #Austin #Texas

People who are dismissing these protests are missing the courage required for folks to show up to a #nokings event in small, rural, predominantly Republican communities. These people spend a lot of social capital to show up with signs and it’s really, really inspiring.

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

my god.

A large crowd stands on the town green in Falmouth, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, with signs saying "No Kings" and a rainbow banner saying "Everyone Is Welcome Here". Among the crowd are a large inflatable shark and a large inflatable lobster. The sky is blue, the steeple of a church rises in the background, and American flags are flying.

#CapeCod lobsters, sharks, and humans say #NoKings! At least 1000 people rallied today in little Falmouth, Massachusetts.

We are Americans.

We are free.

And we do not do kings here. #NoKings

ARE YOU READY FOR NO KINGS?? @earthtoeve.bsky.social let us preview her song "No King", releasing TOMORROW on 10.18! NO KING. NO GOD.

Tomorrow will be the biggest protest day in American history. With thousands of events nation-wide - show up to say: We are united against kings.

A village in ruins: ‘I don’t see Kipnuk anymore’

“John said he was inside his home with his mom and younger siblings Sunday when rising water lifted the home from its foundation. They spent hours drifting until the home got stuck on a boardwalk, he said.” www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.

Tomorrow, we declare NoKings.org, for the love of America.

Miniature noses to help prevent infections and promote nasal health Miniature noses offer a new way to study how the nasal microbial community affects diseases like chronic sinusitis or respiratory infections.

Researchers are using #miniatureNoses to study how #bacteria can live in human nasal passages. @kathlemon.bsky.social A. Boyd, L. Kafer, S. Blutt, @katypatras.bsky.social, P. Piedra #mSphereJ @bcmhouston.bsky.social #BCMGradSchool #CPRITTexas blogs.bcm.edu/2025/10/16/f...

In an age of vaccine skepticism, parents trust pediatricians most A Washington Post-KFF poll finds that pediatricians are the most trusted source for vaccine information and that confidence in them is a strong predictor of vaccination.

Eighty-five percent of parents said they trust their child’s pediatrician on vaccine information — a level of confidence that cuts across political divides, including among MAGA Republicans, according to a Washington Post-KFF poll.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪
