Stopped in 2 CVS and 1 Walgreens yesterday in Boston and none of them had N95 masks for sale. This is what happens when the govt declares something “over” on a whim instead of following the science #saltingthevibes

Imagine two people are fighting and then someone from the sideline rushes over, sucker punches one of them, and then says “WOAH everyone calm down”. That’s the adm on Iran.

The NSF has frozen all research grant awards—cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding.

This is censorship disguised as oversight.

Here’s how you can help us spread the word ➡️🧵(1/3):

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones
US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.

The new page emphatically promotes a theory that many scientists question. Meanwhile, basic information about COVID testing and vaccines has disappeared.

Rumeysa Ozturk was kidnapped in plain sight & sent to Louisiana to be locked in the same detention center Mahmoud Khalil was sent to.

She's a peaceful protestor, grad student, & my constituent who has a right to free speech & due process.

Now she's a political prisoner. Free her now.

This will lead to American scientists, research, and leadership failing and being years behind.

Fascism is here.

The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

The #standupforscience2025 rallies will be held in DC and around the U.S. NEXT FRIDAY.

Please sign up to attend at standupforscience2025.org

To effectively push back the attacks on science happening now, it is so critical to show mass support for science by gathering together in the streets!

Let the states decide!

But not for that.

Or that.

Actually what we mean is just let us decide.

But not on that, we’re just going to avoid that.

But you can’t decide anything either.

Why?

Because we don’t like you.

What a 🤡 show. Unfortunately it’s going to ruin and endanger A LOT

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.
