And you may be thinking to yourself...damn Colette, all you do is ask for money these days. Yeah, so MAHA has a war chest of ~$50m (our current estimation across their orgs) they are deploying in 2026, we don't have anywhere near that and we need YOUR support to fight back EFFECTIVELY.

The US Administration has chosen to obliterate huge swathes of our scientific research. That decision will kill Americans. Conservative Americans and Liberal Americans.

GREAT PLACE TO SEND SOME SUPPORT! @standupforscience.bsky.social

This is also the Jay Bhattacharya and Vinay Prasad story. While many scientists and doctors today do feel responsibility to their profession and to the public, some self-promoter contrarians who worship power have been elevated to the upper echelons of science. 1/

Bari Weiss and RFK Jr are exactly who we said they were.

Happy Festivus Eve. I hope everyone is ready with their grievances and prepared for the Feat!

Rats! Jumping off the ship!

He’s a deeply self-conscious, one trick pony of a man who is desperately trying to stay relevant as he has landed in a position of power far greater than he could have imagined being in AND that is far above his skill set. He’s trying to play both sides bc he wants power AND to be taken seriously.

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise. It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

We've been working as quickly as possible to get information out to folks so they can take action re: HHS rules against trans youth health care. Here's my latest guide for those who want to submit a public comment! www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

LET US NOT FORGET, the guy who had to *end his presidential campaign because of this insane and true story* is now masquerading around as an animal rights activist. #impeachrfkjr www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

An underreported issue with the wildly unethical study investigating Hep B birth dose vaccinations in Guinea-Bissau is that GB is so politically unstable right now that there couldn't even BE an investigation in potential human rights violations related to the study.

Ok. Fine. But maybe next time don’t chose people who just a few months ago were fluffing MAHA disinformation agents. There’s only about 10,000 of us out there to choose from.

Grifters are good at grifting!!

Strongly worded tweets, playing both sides, flaccid weekly newsletters, and “let’s just make stories go viral” social media strategies aren’t going to fix this...and without @standupforscience.bsky.social that is what would be left of the "fight". This moment requires BOLDNESS. Help us by donating.

🤔 DID YOU KNOW? The Stand Up for Science Foundation is now registered on Fidelity Charitable! This means you can make tax-deductible donations (even anon!) to SUFS...it's quick, easy, and secure. Cap off your year end giving by supporting the fight for science! @standupforscience.bsky.social

RFK Jr.'s legacy is a sea of tiny coffins in the US and internationally. Every day he remains in office, the harm he causes grows. Call your representative — it's time Congress impeaches and removes RFK Jr. standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

It’s great that 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is coming right out swinging. Not having a second of this bullshit! I think coddled hacks like Bari Weiss have no idea what to do with righteous fury like this except, if anything, somehow play victim. Let’s see!

My son *loves* watermelon. When he was first starting to talk, he adopted the Urdu word for “round” to describe watermelon. Took us days to figure out what he wanted. This morning he asked for “green watermelon” instead of “gol”. The growing up sneaks up on you. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email. It must be read:

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

on the longest night of the year, residents of the world’s first dark sky city have even more time to spend under the milky way & hundreds of stars, visible even from downtown 🌌 www.nytimes.com/card/2025/12...

My feed is a mix of Yule/solstice and fully lit menorah’s. It’s really lovely. 2025 has been a dark year, but we can bring light into 2026 together.

This is personal, but I’m a white woman married to a brown man with a biracial/bilingual/bicultural son. Apart from the obvious bigotry, I can’t imagine betraying my family the way he does. He has no character or integrity. To platform hate of your own wife and children? What a worm of a man.

This is a lie. Tillis supported RFK Jr because Tillis didn’t have the courage to buck Trump. He capitulated to Republican party pressure because he’s a coward and a follower and he selfishly put himself above the country. It’s that simple.

Using this winter solstice to summon the hounds of hell on our enemies. Happy Yule, everyone 🫶🏼❤️

"We need you to become scientists, doctors, nurses... so that the next generation scientist then will not abuse science to impose tyranny in the name of science." Is that what Bhattacharya thinks we were doing when we were working 7 days a week to try to save as many lives as possible?

@deluzio.house.gov I started crying in your voice-mail service about this Secretary and his evil policies. Consider impeachment

We are leading the charge to see RFK Jr. impeached and removed. Every life lost due to health misinformation is one too many. TAKE ACTION WITH US HERE: www.standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

“Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. came within hours of publicly promoting Denmark’s childhood vaccine schedule as an option for American parents — before legal &political concerns got in the way…the HHS Office of the General Counsel said it would invite a lawsuit the administration could lose”

we aren't powerless! never forget that outrage and pushing back works, even if it just buys time until we have more power. this is a marathon, not a sprint

If everyone who was appalled at RFK Jr’s completely unhinged week, yelled at their house rep to co-sponsor the articles of impeachment against him, we could start an Epstein files style people power movement. @standupforscience.bsky.social TAKE ACTION HERE: Standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

I am asking serious scientists and science organization to stop legitimizing ppl like Jay, by giving him keynote spots. He is spreading anti-scientific MAHA bullshit that’s actively killing people. youtu.be/e9gMZ1sme0k?...

Leopards and faces.

This is the vibe I’m bringing to 2026. You’ve all been warned.

A quick collaboration with the wonderful Rachel Bender Ignacio, Jade Pagkas-Bather and Sara Gianella. "Why Americans are Dying Younger? NIH Is Not the Problem. Our Broken Healthcare Delivery Is." academic.oup.com/jid/article/...

Two weeks ago, this man patronized me for asking a simple question, refused to say that vaccines were better than the diseases they prevent, and then had the mic handed off so I couldn’t respond. And I have it on camera. Linked below.

It's duck season. Get rid of the quack!!

(Setting aside the awful stuff RFK Jr. is doing) this is a delightful lobbying campaign.
