Hey George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social, you need to check Margaret Cho’s post on X about you. She thinks you changed your name to Dean Cain, there are thousands of posts agreeing w/her that you are wrong to complaine about being in an internment camp if you are going to put people into camps!

Why is Trump going after US science?
What's the endgame for these attacks?

Vance, Rufo, Trump and Republican elites are attacking NIH and manipulating its grants in order to attack American universities.

"It's bad, folks."
New contributed post at our blog.
Please share it w/ your 🧪 colleagues.
Trump is attacking NIH because politicizing funding can force universities to become conservative thinktanks
It's bad, folks. The real war is on free thought in the United States.

I felt the same...I now drive a wonderful Ioniq 5...
I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

Nothing to see here, just autocorrect suggesting the word "wrong" to autocomplete "Obviously scientists are"....

I tried dozens of occupations. Lawyers, bankers, politicians, farmers, accountants, you name it.

Only "scientists" and "epidemiologists" get "wrong" as a suggested auto-completion.

The Kennedy Center was established to promote US arts.

Since crude Trump took over Renée Fleming, one of America's most accomplished sopranos, and Hamilton, one of America's most celebrated musicals, has left.

Instead, we get Laura Ingraham, with no connection to the arts, but who flatters Trump.

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

Talk to your neighbors. Talk to your family. Talk to your friends. Tell everyone what is happening and why science matters (this is not a USA-only post, because we know this is happening everywhere)
Just talked to a friend whose spouse is a contractor for the VA. They are worried about their job and their future. But what shocked me was that they had no clue what happened at NIH, USDA, CDC, NOAA. The word is simply not getting out. The average American just doesn't know.

Hey @ucsfhealth.bsky.social , I am just here to remind you that having Vinay Prasad affiliated with your institution and your hospital is a disgrace to your name. But I think you already know that.

FACT CHECK—Did vaccine scientist @PeterHotez “threaten multiple viruses will attack/to be unleashed on the United States on January 21, 2025” as Bannon claims? NO! @PolitiFact does a super easy debunk. Rubbish. But we now live in Trump/Bannon/RFK Jr’s disinfo world. Beware.

With Dr. Mehmet Oz pegged to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, it's a good time to remind people that he once said this 👇

As a medical historian, I can say that this is quite literally medieval.
