Empathy is not a radical agenda.
Science is fact. Partisanship is not.
Freedom is not a pie flavor.
Grassroots is the future: amber waves, not billionaire gain.
The rule of law stands: legislators need reminding.

Uh-oh, did "peer review" and "transparent" just become NSFW terms? So sexy.
The scientific community is embracing Bluesky as their network hub and it makes me very happy to see this #PeerReview project rolling around. The Old ways of Doing Science are being burned to the ground by Trump and we must build new systems that are resilient and transparent. 🧪
How do you fix #PeerReview to be more ethical, streamlined, and affordable? 🧪

When it comes to the regulation of “forever chemicals,” it’s “just a big unanswered question whether this administration and this EPA is going to be serious about enforcing anything,” a former EPA official told ProPublica.
Trump’s First EPA Promised to Crack Down on Forever Chemicals. His Second EPA Is Pulling Back.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claims to prioritize combatting long-lasting chemicals called PFAS. Despite this, the agency has delayed enforcement of standards and terminated over $15 million in…

🧪 U.S. academic science jobs are imperiled by deep federal funding cuts, with the NSF acing a potential 78% reduction in early-career researcher support. This crisis is pushing scientists to leave the country or abandon research, raising concerns about the future of U.S. scientific leadership.
‘It’s a nightmare.’ U.S. funding cuts threaten academic science jobs at all levels
“There is a lot of pressure to essentially leave the country or not pursue research,” one Ph.D. student says

My grandpa’s grandpa was a slave. That wasn’t all that long ago. Now, somehow, diversity programs are the scapegoat for every problem in the economy?
This is propaganda.
These attacks don’t fix anything. They just keep Black and Brown folks stuck in the same cycle of exclusion and harm.

16,000,000 – number of people thrown off their health care.
140 – number of preventable deaths estimated to be caused every day.
3,400,000,000,000 – number of dollars added to the federal debt.
You don’t need to be a mathematician. The Big Ugly Bill sucks.
