Trained as toxicologist. Now I write. New book, Blight: Fungi and the Coming Pandemic. Next book, Toxic Legacy: from early Earth to the industrial age why some chemicals are more harmful than others. Also think about non traditional ways to do science 🧪

Reading through it, I felt physically ill by the complete understanding of the caliber of people that the current U.S. government threw out because of bigotry and malice.

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion has remained mostly accessible, thanks to abortion pills. "But it would be a mistake to assume that this status quo will continue," the editorial board writes.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.
And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
