This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism

Or just take a picture, or make a graph. Good science is never short of good visuals. No need sloppy AI art.

Did you know that tomorrow, March 10th marks the National Day of Rest for Black Women, a day created to center rest, reflection, and renewal? It's also the anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s passing, honoring her powerful legacy of courage, resistance, and liberation.

CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran."

NYC is preparing its first ever citywide "environmental justice plan." Last week, city representatives met with residents of the South Bronx for input on the plan: thefootprint.substack.com/p/nyc-is-pre...

I would like to interrupt your doomscrolling for an important announcement: This figure from Ellen Dymit et al., 2025, depicts the proportion of vertebrate prey in felid scat, recorded as a Proportion of Occurrence (PoO). 💩

Did you know kelp restoration isn't just about the seaweed? It’s about people too! 🌊🤝 Collaborating with communities makes a huge difference. Let’s intertwine our efforts with nature and humanity. Check out this guide for the scoop: https://kelpforestalliance.com/kelp-restoration-guidebook

Kristi Noem is out. Markwayne Mullin is in. The bar was low, so we’ll see if he can clear it. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi!

Thrilled to share what I’ve been working on lately: launching @bluefutureskelp.bsky.social! Ever since returning to phycology 5 years ago & researching #kelp restoration, I've been hooked, & I’m grateful to be continuing it in this new capacity. Follow along for updates & more kelpy content 🌊

For #PhycologyFriday, check out this Giant Kelp gametophyte culture growing here at Blue Futures Kelp! Grown from spores collected in T’Sou’ke territory here on Vancouver Island, and propagating for conservation, education, and potential future research and restoration. #kelp #restoration #vanisle

For #PhycologyFriday, some views from the annual Pacific herring spawn dive surveys I’m working this year, exemplifying the importance of seaweeds as fish habitat! Seen in Toquaht and Huu-ay-aht territories, west Vancouver Island

Since its creation in 2012, DACA has allowed hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants to live and work in the United States without being subject to deportation. DACA recipients have generally been spared from immigration enforcement—until now.

According to AAU's Emily Miller, reductions in PhD cohort sizes due to funding cuts and other disruptions to science "will have direct negative implications for our nation's scientific standing."

Thank you! You guys rock. I love the starter pack, great to see lots of familiar names!

Hey new preprint from the lab and @justingambill.bsky.social’s first-first author paper ‘Untargeted Metabolomics of Plant Samples using HPLC-DAD and Gaussian Mixture Models’ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My first first author publication is now out on BioRXiv! Super excited to share a new outlook in using the entire UV-VIS spectrum when analyzing plant samples on an HPLC-DAD! Super big thanks to my lab and all those who have helped me get here! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Stance on Science is a nonpartisan initiative meant to inform the voting community about political candidates’ positions regarding science policy-relevant issues, and also shows how science policies can affect our communities!

Join us for #StanceOnScience where we ask politicians where they stand on #SciencePolicy issues ahead of the midterm elections! #SciPol #MidtermElections #SciComm

The application period for our 2026 SciComm Excellence Awards is now open. These awards honor science communicators, journalists, and researchers who communicated issues or advances in science, engineering, and medicine in 2025. Learn more and apply by April 3: https://ow.ly/HpTP50YoiIy

If Trump declares an "emergency" and rigs the midterms so the GOP wins, there will likely be kinetic civil war. Americans are armed to the teeth, and there is only so much they can take before the anger reaches a critical mass.

📌 The draft order, which Trump has reviewed, would mandate the use of voter ID and hand-counted ballots, and ban mail-in ballots ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. BUT 📌 Article I of the Constitution assigns power to regulate elections to state legislatures and Congress, not the executive.

DANGER ⚠️ DANGER Pro-Trump lawyers are circulating a draft executive order. The bogus claim: China interfered in 2020 and justifies a national emergency declaration that would give Trump sweeping power over U.S. elections. 1/2

The SAVE Act is built to trip women up. About 69 million married women have names that do not match their birth certificates, and this bill turns that paperwork into a weapon against their voice. Screw the patriarchy. #SaveActTaxesYourVote Call Your Senators 202 202 224-3121 Most important call

Can confirm that although #NASA's SDO mission was given a small budget boost by #Congress in the Jan Minibus, we've been told to expect btw a 12.5% and 18% cut. Haven't been able to track down where cuts are coming from (OMB?). This is actively going against Congress. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

At ever stage of my career, undergrad to Professor, I (unknowingly) had to work with harassers and misogynists that were known to others to be awful. The harm caused to young female scientists continues without consequence or accountability. Turns out it’s not a “leaky pipe” it’s a damn fire hose.

We Fact Checked Trump’s State of the Union So You Don’t Have To:

CHRIST this was a bitch to alt text (my phone camera is allergic to this font) but it was worth it so we could enjoy this scorching hot Catholic tea together they just flat out said the SCOTUS Catholics are going to hell. which we knew, but maybe they’ll hear it from the bishops!

Federal immigration agents detained a Columbia University student on Thursday morning after reportedly gaining access to university housing by falsely claiming they were looking for a missing person, according to Claire Shipman, Columbia’s acting president.

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying. Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free. So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

Inspired and amazed by the interesting and thought-provoking sessions at the AAAS Annual Meeting, the 40+ members of the @snapcoalition.bsky.social I had the honor to meet in person (finally!), and the ideas and conversations that took place. Jordan and I hope you enjoy this AAAS reflection!
