Another great conversation with @deepdivewithshawn.bsky.social. We need more deep dive discussions in this world. Take the time to dig in and understand:
White Christian nationalism uses LGBTQ people as convenient scapegoats. But genuine Christianity has always been about love, not domination. Matthew Vines explains how can we build churches that keep "the main thing the main thing" while fully accepting all who enter?

NEW: After cancelling nearly all projects on trans health, the Trump admin has now directed the NIH to study the negative consequences of transitioning.
This will create “a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favorable findings are permitted to exist”, researcher Harry Barbee says.

Dear scientists,
We've heard from many of you: "What can I do to act, to help stop the authoritarian takeover? I feel helpless."
One thing you can do is to get every scientist you know onto bluesky.
Get them off Twitter.
Talk to yr colleagues. Make it a point.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately".
He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting.
Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

99.4% of new drugs approved by the FDA are the product of NIH funded research.
Remember this every time you see another headline on the NIH funding cuts.
It will directly impact YOU.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.

During the worst measles outbreak in DECADES, we ABSOLUTELY must invest funding, time, & energy toward understanding why some Americans are hesitant to get the vaccines they need.
We want people to get vaccinated so they don't die. It makes NO sense to eliminate this research.
