Welcome to the newest co-sponsors of my Medicare for All bill in the House! Medicare for All is not only good policy — as premiums skyrocket for millions of Americans — it is incredibly popular. Let’s keep building momentum for universal health care and get this passed!

Y'all, I just got out of the NSF-BIO webinar where they explained changes to peer review. It's not good. 🧪 scienceforeveryone.science/changes-to-n...

Corruption is written all over Trump's authoritarian administration. Noem, Trump, and their donors knew that their mass deportation campaign would be good for business, and they are extracting every bit of profit from our neighbors' suffering.

@ucs.org has released a letter you can write to your Congressperson to save @ncar-ucar.bsky.social Share your voice on the significant value of this bedrock climate and weather insitution. Your story matters! secure.ucs.org/a/2025-prote...

I know we're getting used to the destruction but this one put my jaw on the floor. Very much hoping - for all of us but most immediately for our NCAR/UCAR colleagues - this can be avoided with enough pushback.

Time to repurpose #AGU25 as a mass mobilization in support of NCAR, NSF, NOAA, NASA, USGS, DOE BER, and the Congressional power of the purse.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map. This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026. The vote failed big, 19/31. The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

RFK Jr. is praising private insurers for removing prior authorization while he is ramping up a pilot program requiring AI-led prior authorization for Medicare patients in 6 states, including WA state, which will delay and deny care for seniors.   No AI prior authorization. No way.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Cool story in the @salish-current.org about our collaboration with Sedro-Woolley high school teachers Linsey Kitchens and Anna Ferdinand to bring _Modern Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines_ (thebullshitmachines.com) to a high school audience.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves

These emails are damning. It's clear Trump knew about Epstein's abuse. It's time to release the full Epstein files NOW, hold a hearing with survivors, and end this White House cover-up once and for all.

Good morning! Last night sucked, but it is Monday, which means that phone lines are being monitored. Yesterday’s vote was what is called “motion to proceed” and it was the vote with a 60 vote threshold. In the next couple days, maybe even today, 1/

The Supreme Court just heard oral arguments in the challenge to Trump’s worldwide tariffs. No matter how the Court rules (and I’ll do just a tiny bit of tea leaf-reading here), its decision will have enormous implications for the scope of presidential power. 1/25

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss. 'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

I think fundamentally the problem with post liberal thinkers is that they seem to assume that vanquishing liberalism results in their enemies being converted or defeated and not becoming radicalized into enemies who no longer extend the mercies they once did.

BREAKING: According to new data from the Wisconsin OCI, if Republicans fail to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, Wisconsinites are going to pay hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands more dollars a year for their healthcare coverage. This is really bad, folks.

Vote now. If you live in a district with an election on Nov 4, vote now. Unless your only option is to wait till election day, don’t wait. You never know what could happen. For instance, Trump is sending election monitors to various places in New Jersey and California, but not right now. 1/

Fantastic thread about great research on a super important topic.

There are a lot of cowards in elite positions. There is a lot of courage in civil society. People aren't just taking career risks--though the spate of recent resignations and denunciations might rep. that--they're taking physical risks confronting ICE. They're organizing. Suing.

I am a big fan of @democrats.org senators' and representatives' work to lock in and keep focus on the many threads and players of corruption, authoritarianism, and anti-democracy. Many thanks to @wyden.senate.gov and others for digging in and persisting! @ariellaelm.bsky.social

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Folks are asking what to do about the One Special Boy's AI vids and whether they should share them: MOCK THEM WITHOUT SHARING. This creates what an enthymeme, where readers have to SUPPLY PART OF THE REFERENT to understand what you are mocking. An enthymeme is the STRONGEST form of persuasion.

Semi-rural Idaho here. Nearly a 1000 people showed up, and we had ZERO opposition. Also the car and bystander ratio of folks in support has gone from about 50% to something like 80% over the last year. If you'd told me this in January I wouldn't have believed you.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.
