I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

You don’t praise the people who were unsuccessful in their attempts to fully dismantle a scientific infrastructure it took 80 years to build. You praise the people who successfully resisted some of the dismantling

I started @standupforscience.bsky.social because I believe in science and democracy and I’ve continued SUFS because I believe science can AND SHOULD be better.

Not in an β€œimprove our systems” kind of wayβ€”in a β€œREIMAGINE a new system that works for everyone” kind of way. And we are going to do it.

Spoke with a PI whose postdoc is trapped abroad because of social media vetting. It appears the postdoc missed disclosing one account and it's unclear if they can come back… ever.

This is the country we live in now.

And one reason that federal funding agencies became such a huge target in Project 2025 were the evidence-based efforts that were (slowly) shifting policies so that this public good would actually fund scientific research that included and benefitted all Americans, not just white cis men

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

At a time when ICE is rounding up 5-year-olds, terrorizing communities and killing American citizens, the last thing we should be doing is increasing its funding.

I will vote NO on the upcoming spending bill to fund Trump's domestic army.
