Physician Filibuster @ Dept Health and Human Services - Speaking up for Science!

We will be “holding the floor” (via megaphone!) from 12-5 on March 11 at HHS by reading landmark healthcare studies to speak out and up for science! ✅Join us on Capitol Hill if you can! ✅Reply with a study you would like read out loud and proud to HHS!

Seen on my news and academic feeds today: "This is highly illegal!" "Where are the courts?" "Someone needs to arrest him/them!" "The military needs to oust them!" "WHERE ARE THE DEMS?" This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us. We are all we've got.

One thing we've learned since 1/20 with painful clarity is that our institutions are far more fragile than we could have ever imagined.

The efforts to protect immigrants through collective solidarity are having an impact: Trump “Border Czar” Tom Homan has already said that Know Your Rights education is “making it very difficult” to arrest people.

Long standing CDC guidance on basic, critical healthcare such as STI treatment and contraception is gone. The assault continues.

RFK Jr even getting a hearing for this job is failed state shit

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority. In Illinois, we will stand against unlawful actions that would harm millions of working families, children, and seniors.

give me coffee for the things i can change and a sledgehammer for the things i can’t.

Well abortion bans are fascist, so

There’s a difference between walking away from a group that continues to endanger our collective freedom from a fascist government, and walking away from the work. This quote displays the violence against those who do the former and choose instead, to work another way.

The white supremacy, arrogance, and exclusionary mindset of white feminism is on the record here. A thread. archive.ph/2025.01.24-1...

FIRST: The people in this article described as unwilling to navigate hard convos is ACTUALLY a multi-racial, issues diverse group who refuse to be complicit in policies that lead to jail time, denials of care, and family policing. www.whatsnext4mo.org

Hi!👋🏾 This vague post is for clarification purposes. I have never walked away from tough strategy conversations. Never. I have walked away when told to sacrifice ethics and my values. Zero regrets. Happy to debate, but I don’t do spin and I don’t answer to white feminism. Anyhoo, carry on …

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

🗣️ Personhood is NOT “a strategy to ban abortion.” It is a strategy to *redefine the relationship between pregnancy-capable bodies and the state* And it is WORKING because Repro lawyers and advocates are so myopically focused on abortion!
