Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

The Trump administration is downsizing US science by historic margins — but it's not just via funding or workforce cuts. Our new @nature.com analysis reveals the government has cut more than 100 scientific advisory panels across major agencies. w/ @alexwitze.bsky.social @dangaristo.bsky.social

Skyrocketing infant/maternal mortality rates show that for many who need abortion care, the obstacles are too great. The NYSAAF provided over $2.2 million last year for AB procedures. If you can, PLEASE consider donating or reposting to amplify this message! fund.nnaf.org/fundraiser/7...

It's amazing how all of their moral issues line up so perfectly and coincidentially with their desire to make more money.

Nobody does parody of the NY Times like the NY Times

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

The idea that this posturing is ever about anything other than greed is so naive. They are not libertarians, they are not progressives, they are not conservatives... they are capitalists and the desire for more knows no bounds.

A very entertaining read, if you have enough beta blockers.

If, like me, you were obsessed with the "unborn children in cryogenic nurseries" ruling by the AL SC, you will find this long read entertaining and informative. That said, I am less sanguine than HG about the potential for the personhood movement to affect access to IVF. +some

You get Alan Dershowitz and Tulsi Gabbard. We will take -- check that, can't think of anyone we want.

Long after trump consumes his final cheeseburger these guys will be stepping on your grandchildren's heads to build castles in the air.

Happy to share a new preprint, where we studied the expected outcomes of polygenic embryo screening in real-world IVF patients. Key conclusion: gains are very small for most infertility patients, with risk reductions under 5%. 🧵1/12 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.

Think about that..

95,000. A generation of scientists lost.

Sure, over 8 million people came out Saturday to protest the Trump regime. But what about the 7 people eating breakfast at an Iowa diner? What do THEY think?
