a girl is smiling with the words yesterday was thursday behind her Alt: Rebecca Black, of "Friday" infamy, is smiling with the words yesterday was Thursday behind her. As we post this, we know yesterday wasn't Thursday. But it's one of those weeks where you can't remember what day it is... it's Tuesday today, though. Right? ...right????

Reminder that today is Tuesday (bc we definitely had to double-check that today) and tomorrow is... WEDNESDAY! And that means...

Wear 💚💚greeeeeeeen 💚💚 tomorrow! To work, to school, running errands, whatever. To show solidarity and readiness to defend public health, please wear green on Wednesday!

This administration is replacing science with propaganda.

Thanks @nihvigils.bsky.social for hosting a vigil every Saturday mourning the losses occurring at NIH and discussing week to week occurrences! Today was great!

Hey! We’re 27 uNIHted, a group of former NIH workers and community allies fighting for NIH’s mission and supporting the former and current NIH workforce. We’re new here! Wanna help out ? Fill out our volunteer interest form, link in our bio! Excited to make our blusky debut!

My teen emo self is having a moment lol

So ready for my first MCR concert in a few weeks 😭🥹🖤

Oh I hear you! Same with my fur baby. I swear he’s my soul cat

A short thread on advances that will be stopped in their tracks:

Continues to be true

@catsonacouch.bsky.social spotted at a Bethesda Declaration Rally today! (Not my sign - full credit to whomever made it!)

I applaud you and all your fellow musicians who can play the guitar. I tried and failed miserably in high school lol

This Monday, Bethesda Declaration Signers meet with the NIH Director to discuss policies that are preventing the NIH from delivering on its mission.

Join NIHers afterward, in the famous Bethesda, MD, the city known first and foremost as the site of this fine Declaration.

RSVP in thread.

Anyone who sees this, please spread the word! Any and all support would be appreciated and welcomed! We would love a large crowd from the community to help support our Bethesda Declaration signers!

I swear the thunderstorms are like clockwork around here every single day

The full series is up & damn, it’s good.

Take a listen. You’ll learn about agencies you may not even know existed — & the feds quietly holding things together.

Then send it to your cousin who thinks “big government” is just a money pit.

Ohh that’s cool! Always looking for a cool next read!

Several COVID lab leak conspiracy promoters are now consulting at NIH in the office of the director. Two of them have called for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be prosecuted.

This is the kind of insanity Jay Bhattacharya has brought into the agency.

Good morning.

Today we send love to our dedicated HHS colleagues who received separation notices yesterday after months of uncertainty.

You deserve so much better than a generic email saying, “Thank you for your service to the American people.”

This fight is far from over.

The current weather in Bethesda seems fitting right now.

The Alexandria Declaration is an indication of serious trouble inside the agency. The decision to pull it for fear of retaliation is a five alarm fire.

Feeling stressed, depressed, and traumatized? Join us tomorrow morning at 10 am to mourn and commemorate the ongoing losses at NIH with a community who’s right there with you. NIH Vigils, 10-11 am, Medical Center Metro

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.

Dear L3403 Union Sibling, In partnership with Stand Up For Science, AFGE Local 3403 is excited to announce the Alexandria Declaration for NSF employees, and we now ask for your support. Inspired by the Bethesda Declaration authored by our colleagues at NIH, the Alexandria Declaration highlights the catastrophic changes to NSF and the scientific enterprise of the United States over the last 6 months. In it, we summarize the actions that have damaged NSF and the community it serves. At this critical moment in our shared history, we hope to catalyze a level of public awareness and subsequent action that will preserve NSF and the values it upholds. At this time, we are collecting signatures from NSF staff and L3403 members who sign either publicly or anonymously via this AFGE Local 3403 Alexandria Declaration (Internal) Survey.. The survey allows us to document signatures while protecting the identity of those who sign the declaration.

This is the email.

I am hurting. To my DOGEd colleagues, 🫂.

The Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump to move forward with mass layoffs and reorganizations across 19 federal agencies and departments, even as legal challenges continue.

The thing about reality is it doesn’t care what you believe.

The corporate-owned GOP is stacking the government with climate and other science deniers.

But we’re going to face the climate crisis and future pandemics just the same.

All denial does is hurt preparedness and ensure more death.
