Read the whole article - but also bring it to your departments, your unions, your senate committees.

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

I am really proud to share the Stand Up for Science Foundation's new Impact Report on the OMB Rule Proposal--done by the brilliant @irenesufs.bsky.social @colesci.bsky.social and team! We've got such a great team at @standupforscience.net. www.standupforscience.foundation/policy-and-a...

This is a tremendous piece by Judy Stone at @forbes.com. This new OMB rule is going to hurt communities from coast to coast. Federal grants are not just about research! www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...

Misophonia is a neurophysiological disorder broadly characterized by two things: a severe aversion to sound and a struggle to convince others of the severity of that aversion. And it still doesn’t have a formal diagnosis. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jT0BjN

SUfS has posted this handy guide—takes only a few minutes!

If passed, this OMB proposal will use your tax $$ to fund research approved by political appointees, NOT scientists. The current process is imperfect but certainly more transparent than non-specialists deciding—at will—which scientific endeavors are worthy. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/o...

Amazing and informative infographic created by a former fed about the proposed OMB rule on federal funding. It explains what it is, why it matters, and what you can do about it. We would love to see public comments on this to exceed 40k!

Russell Vought, Director of the OMB, has issued a set of proposed changes that would dramatically alter federal grant funding. However, we can each take action to prevent these from taking effect. Here's how, a 🧵 🧪 1/n www.science.org/content/arti...

BREAKING: New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion". #standupforscience public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf

Late in the afternoon on Friday (yesterday), HHS/NIH did 2 things: 1) They RIFd more employees (despite the extreme staffing shortages). 2) They sent announcements to supervisors letting them know people in their chain of command will be moved to the career/policy “at will” status. 🧵1/3

The censorship at TTU is so bad that my someone above me, outside my discipline is intersting himself into my students training without my consent, insisting he is required to do so because of the 'policy'. @standupforscience.net

WHEN WE FIGHT WE WIN.

NO KINGS 3 VIRTUAL RALLY organized by Stand Up for Science An accessible and inclusive rally for everyone, everywhere. March 28th, 12:30 - 2pm CT followed by live stream of the national flagship event from the Twin Cities (MN). standupforscience.net/sufs-nk3 #NoKings #NoKings3 #NK3VR #Rally

Two of our wonderful grad students are going to be sharing some of their recent work this week at the Society of Toxicology Research's 26th Annual Meeting in San Diego. We hope to see some of you there!

WE'VE GOT POP-UP PROTESTS FILLING UP THE MAP! It's super easy! ✍️ Register your favorite busy street corner here: www.standupforscience.net/march7#popup 📄 Get some flyers out! 🧑‍🎨 MAKE SOME SIGNS! 👯 Bring your signs and your friends to the location and PROTEST! @standupforscience.bsky.social

Still time to write to your Senators (and get your friends to do the same). Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest--she's making money off it all. Just say no to the quack. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

An excellent example of local government making choices in the interest of the people they represent! 📢 Your voice matters! www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

Has it been (almost) a year already? Time flies. Can’t make it to DC this time around but just donated to @standupforscience.bsky.social to promote and support the cause!

In March 2025, the FBI discusses internally Pam Bondi’s “clear and specific guidance" to redact images of "former U.S. Presidents, Secretary of State, and other celebrities."

EPSTEIN SURVIVORS: “This is a betrayal of the very people this process is supposed to serve… This is not over. We will not stop until the truth is fully revealed and every perpetrator is finally held accountable.”

god catherine ohara was the funniest person alive. id watch her in literally anything. this one hurts

‼️This famous photo from the Minnesota Tribune on Jan. 21 is from this incident, involving at least three of the same agents from Alex Pretti's killing. Thanks to the people replying who tipped me off to this.

Auschwitz was liberated 81 years ago today. Last year I published a story about the remaining survivors, fewer each year, and the importance of telling and retelling their stories. I hope you'll read it if you haven't. Here's a gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/m...

REPUBLICAN @SenThomTillis rips Noem & Stephen Miller — He says @KristiNoem is ignoring her job and the Trump regime isn’t helping Americans with disaster relief, and Stephen Miller “never fails to live up to my expectations of incompetence” (From CNN)

SO EXCITED for this paper & super proud of @bella-peckinpaugh.bsky.social for leading this research question and paper. State affect, measured or not, is moving your estimand around! Check it out :D

WATCH: “What we got today was a cellphone recording captured by the man who killed her. The first look we have gotten of Renee Good alive—and then dead,” says Chris Hayes.

The U.S. government admitted liability for the collision in Washington between an Army helicopter and a commercial jet that killed 67 people this year.

Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED. www.wired.com/story/what-i...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

"These are defining times. These are also frighteningly clarifying times. No one is coming to save us but ourselves. So, if you can, if you feel safe enough, please join a peaceful, powerful No Kings protest near you." #StandUpForScience #NoKings blog.ucs.org/rachel-cleet...

The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Had a great time at #SRP2025 in lovely downtown L.A. ‘Twas nice to revisit the old stomping grounds, hang with science pals, and make some new friends :)

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself. Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations. That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

American soybean farmers don’t have a single order from China as they head into harvest season. China usually buys 25% of the entire crop. Crisis looms for the farmers and there’s only one man responsible.

Trump’s Tariffs and policies continue to hurt most Americans.

"Increasingly, I wonder whether we will be able to do science here in the future." NIH employees I heard from say things are very grim over there, but they welcome the push for a "fighting CR" to rein Trump in — or a government shutdown if not.

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

Chicago’s mayor & governor react to the president declaring war on the city
