BREAKING‼️ @rephaleystevens.bsky.social files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. for his actions as Health Secretary endangering American lives.

This is a huge victory in our fight. Take action with us! #ImpeachRFKJR #Impeachthequack

Breaking: Rep Haley Stevens files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. with support from Stand Up for Science "RFK Jr.'s actions are negligent and will result in harm and loss of life. He must be impeached and removed,” said Colette Delawalla, Founder and CEO of Stand Up for Science. “As a scientist and a mother, I am not willing to go back to a time before robust public health interventions. For the first time in human history, we progressed from 30% of babies not making it to adulthood to over 98% surviving to adulthood because of modern medicine and vaccines. Eliminating effective public health interventions with proven track records and dismantling evidence-based science is not the way to promote health and reduce chronic illness. Stand Up For Science is ready to hold Secretary Kennedy accountable, as well as political candidates and other officeholders who are pushing a dangerous anti-science agenda.”

America is in dangerous territory.

The combination of a masked federal paramilitary force being used against civilians, the intentional spread of extremist ideology, and the censorship and use of “science” by the state to harm specific groups of people has never ended well.

Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...

From winter storms to wildfires, NCAR is a world leader in measuring climate data to predict extreme weather events.
Without these predictions, lives are put in danger. Save Lives, Save NCAR.

For the first time in 25 years the United States is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status due to misinformation about vaccines from RFK Jr.. Measles weakens the immune system and opens doors for other illnesses that can become deadly. #RemoveRFKJr, Save Lives.
On the top of the photo is black test reading: "Measles outbreaks don't make America healthy." Below that is a photo of a woman holding a baby with measles. Below that is an article title reading: "Measles Cases Hit 34-Year High as US Vaccines Norms Crumpled" with a sub-text reading: "Health officials warn more diseases could spike as immunisations fade." Below that is bold black text reading: "SAVE LIVES. REMOVE RFK JR.". Below that is the: "Stand Up For Science" logo. The top of the photo has large red boxes with white text reading: "ACTION MENU". Below that in a blue box is a link reading: "standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr". Below that is a checklist of three tasks. "1. Endorse our articles to IMPEACH and REMOVE RFK Jr." "2. Contact your House Representative to ask them to CO-SPONSOR the articles." "3. SHARE WIDELY! The more pressure we create, the more changes we can make!" Below that is bold black text reading: "SAVE LIVES. REMOVE RFK JR.". Below that is the "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE" logo.

As Americans are hunkering down this weekend, congressional Republicans are stripping away the science that keeps us safe and prepared for future extreme weather.

NCAR isn't just a lab, it's the beating heart of US meteorology.

The US is bracing for extreme weather. Republicans are making it harder to forecast and prepare for it. Headline screenshot: A massive winter storm will hit large parts of the US through the weekend. Picture of the winter storm moving east over a map of the US, with severity of the storm indicated in gradations of red to blue. Republicans in Congress are shutting down NCAR. The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO, is home to scientists that track and forecast our weather. They maintain large-scale models, collect data, and accurately pinpoint when dangerous weather conditions start to develop. Picture of two scientists looking at a monitor. As weather becomes more extreme, accurate forecasts mean better preparation. Better preparation can mean the difference between saving people's lives, or stranding them. If Congress shuts down NCAR, we will be flying blind. Take Action to #SaveNCAR tr.ee/save-ncar

Hurting the climate while hurting the economy does no good for Americans. The science shows that the EPA policy rollbacks and changes in climate data reporting is nothing to benefit from, which is why we must push back against this administration.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.
Screenshot from STAT article that says "What we're going to have is a real-world experience of when unvaccinated people get measles," he said. "What is the new incidence of hospitalization? What's the incidence of death?"

YES! A step in the right direction. After a horrendous year for science & the #NIH, it is imperative to protect it from political interference. NIH's success is due to decisions based on science, not political ideology.

Friends at @standupforscience.bsky.social remind everyone today, this matters — especially as a winter storm approaches.

Weather apps, better warnings, more precise forecasts come from NCAR research.

I know there's a lot right now @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social. Do what you can.

ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible.

We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.
Red protest-style graphic with bold white text reading “Scientists Against ICE.” Below, rows of black human silhouettes stand holding hands. Centered is the Stand Up for Science logo, followed by text: “Calls for a General Strike Jan 23, 2026, Minnesota.” Black starburst shapes frame the sides. Bottom text reads: “Mobilize the fight for science and democracy.”

The National Cancer Institute & several former federal studies have concluded that cellphone radiation does not cause cancer or neurological issues; the FDA has recently removed these studies from the web and RFK Jr. is launching a study to make up his own science. ⬇️
