Thousands lining the streets in Reno, with plenty of participation by cars (and a huge teamster truck) driving by! @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social

That’s been my experience too (full stint on CP in the before-times, plus lots of one-offs before that). Will be interesting to see what it’s like now!

I was BEYOND PROUD of my city that day!!! We lived our truth and showed our love. We were not baited into violence or rage. We did reward the attention-seekers. We were VERY clear about what we stood for. And we danced. Thousands of us. Feel free to emulate in the weeks and months ahead!

San Francisco: Time for a huge counter-protest dance party throughout the city! Thousands of us got into our best disco gear (and plenty of drag!) and walking shoes, met at a few points across the city, and all danced our way through the streets to the civic center.

What should you do if the national guard comes to town? Here are lessons from San Francisco, when the Proud Boys decided to pay us a visit in October 2020. Their mission? Provoke a fight and draw attention. Sound familiar right now?

Signed up for a cog neuro study section in July, mostly out of curiosity. Will report back on experience (not specific grants of course), including any interpanel shenanigans 😉

Awww. RIP Sly, thank you for the gifts you shared with us! 🙏🏼

@amiyake.bsky.social Your Tiger must be either way smarter or way more compliant than our Selina. Here, however, is the latter fitting herself nicely into the space defined by a crushed Walgreens bag, a.k.a. her new best friend.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article) The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

This analysis is pretty damn depressing, but useful ammo for the #standupforscience cause.
Get the word out: “administrative priorities” are taking a sledgehammer to America’s future economic competitiveness. Good job guys! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🤦🏻‍♀️ @standupforscience.bsky.social

Opinion | Three Well-Tested Ways to Undermine an Autocrat

Authoritarian regime disruption 101. 1st principle: make fun of the leaders. Loudly, publicly, ruthlessly, incessantly. 2nd principle: Call out specific examples of hypocrisy and corruption. These two can, obviously, be combined. Have fun!

Looking good, San Francisco! And it’s a younger, diverse crowd, united by passion for giving ALL of the nation’s workers an actual fair shake. Excellent - keep it up everyone!

SAME OMFG

Honestly I might have a stroke after a lengthy conversation with JD Vance too. RIP Pope Francis.

Stand Up For Science Summer Campaign! Can you help us mobilize the fight for science and democracy? Every contribution matters!

Got some funds to support the resistance? Concerned about the epic dumpster fire that is federal support for science? Stand Up For Science is having a summer campaign to support ongoing, coordinated science advocacy for the time ahead. Every bit helps!

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere. People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.

I expect to use this sign again. We’re just getting started. #handsoff @50501movement.bsky.social

Anti-Trump Protests Get Underway Across the Country (Gift Article) Demonstrators packed the streets in cities and towns to rail against government cutbacks, financial turmoil and what they view as attacks on democracy.

Look ma, we’re in the paper! (and it’s about damn time) #handsoff @50501movement.bsky.social

San Francisco’s has two huge impromptu picnic areas and a cafe’. The signage is hilarious. Lovely way to spend an afternoon! 😁

#handsoff San Francisco!

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

While properly horrified, I admit part of me is enjoying this enormously.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

BUT HILARY’S EMAILS!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️
I’m sure you’ve heard about this but the actual story’s 💯 worth a read. The scale of fuckwittery is breathtaking. LOLing and thoroughly horrified at the same time.

Join me on April 5th

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. Phoenix location in progress! app.sosha.ai/s/Qcnl2Y9O

The money shot from yesterday’s #standupforscience2025 in Phoenix yesterday. Huge gratitude to Kristine Jones who showed up and offered to be our official photographer, and to all who braved the cold to join us!
🙏🏼✊🏼❤️

If only no one had eaten all the cats…🤦🏻‍♀️
For so many reasons, FFS #standupforscience

Seriously so much to love! 💕

Maybe they meant “glute-free,” though I can’t imagine that being a plus 😉

Given how fast things are happening, we need ongoing community that can mobilize quickly and a mechanism for coordinating effective action. I think @cdelawalla.bsky.social and team have earned a break if they want one. We need a national SUFS action network, with a committed lead team. 🙋🏻‍♀️
