Tschüß, Amerika! ... if the Exclusive Citizenship Act passes, I will be watching from Hamburg. I'm a dual citizen that would pick Germany. This bill seems like a great way to expedite brain drain from the US. www.forbes.com/sites/virgin... #dualcitizen #berniemoreno #exclusivecitizenshipact

I wonder which octogenarian @housedemocrats.bsky.social will be replacing her?

Repeat after me: this is authoritarian extortion, this is authoritarian extortion, this is authoritarian extortion.

A lot of people need to hear this

Tour is going well. Back to America on August 17th.

Like all authoritarians, Trump doesn’t like criticism or objective reporting. He just wants flattery. That’s why he wants to defund NPR and PBS. We need media in this country that is not owned by billionaires and corporate interests. I will vote to support public broadcasting.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" has a $200,000 lifetime limit higher ed loans. Med school with in state tuition at a public university is over $200,000, and far more for private or out of state. Law school can be similar. Being a low-income student just got even harder. #academia #firstgeneration

I couldn't agree more, but in 2025, public health professionals are enemies of the state and nobody in charge gives a shit about evidence. #publichealth #who #tobaccotax #sugartax #alcoholtax

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

What Eisenhower said over 70 years ago is even more true today.

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

I took my LSAT a few hours after this pic was taken. On a related note, I dropped out of my PhD program. #DallasGoesToCollege

My German Jewish family fled to America before it got too bad. I bet they'd be terrified to see what America has become.

This is why I'm going to law school. I don't want to be another unemployed Public Health professional saying, "I swear I know what I'm talking about" to deaf ears.

Let’s start with the basics.

As a public health professional, evidence guides my views. Measles vaccines are safe & Americans are getting sick from consuming too many heavily processed foods with added sugars and oils. It's not one or the other. We need to eat better and get vaccines to improve public health. #publichealth

I'm running for U.S. Senate. Because in the state that built the American Dream, it shouldn't be this hard to get by. Join me: abdulforsenate.com/go

Pains me as a Yalie to say this, but thank you Harvard.

It's hard as a Yalie to give praise to Harvard, but this is a solid move.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired, says APHA. In just a few short weeks, his actions on vacccines, fluoride and other public health science have shown how wrong he is for the job. Read & share our statement: apha.org/news-and-med...

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed. Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

It’s a good day to tell these malicious 🤡🤡🤡 that WE are in charge. Brothers and sisters, be seen, be heard, be united, be peaceful, and be safe! 🏁 SKA = DEI ! 🏁🇺🇸

It'll be $8 tomorrow, but I just walked instead. #AprilInTheD #DetroitTigers #OpenDay #TigersHomeOpener #Detroit @tigers.bsky.social

It has now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel. That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

Talking politics can jeopardize academic careers, so a lot of folks have been silent. I want to go on the record for a few things: USA & Israel are committing genocide. Trump is evil. War profiteering is awful. Solidarity Forever, Dallas McCulloch @waynestateclas.bsky.social @yalesph.bsky.social

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for doing more than nothing. The bar has gotten so low with the @democrats.org that I'll take anything above rolling over as a step in the right direction. youtu.be/rCUK2VbdLS4

Angus King doesn't buy Gabbard's testimony that war plans ahead of military strikes isn't actually classified information

Just finished a solid tour with @mustardplug.bsky.social @pietasters.bsky.social & @flyingraccoonsuit.bsky.social Flying back to PhD life tomorrow. #PunkRockAcademic #ska #punk

I still prefer flyers designed with paper over digital. The DIY punk flyer is a dying art, but I'm trying to keep it alive in @thewriteups.bsky.social #punk #DIY #punkrock #art #punkart

Casey: There’s this whole mentality that MAGA has painted—like you’re either MAGA or you’re, you know, drinking soy lattes or whatever. But there are a lot of people who are just like, “We’re just regular people—we don’t want a dictator, we don’t want to see people’s benefits ripped away..”

There is irony in a descendant of German Jews getting his passport and having an escape plan due to rising fascism. I'm working on my PhD in Detroit, but if academia gets completely gutted, WWIII breaks out, or the US economy tanks due to the dumbest trade wars imaginable, I'm out.✌️ Tschüss, DMC

Wait WHAT

Sorry fellas. Not fringe theories. False information and pseudoscience call it what it is.

Doing public health research over spring break, but thinking about hot guitar riffs from last weekend. @thewriteups.bsky.social

If someone is selling you something that is already available to everyone OTC and saying it’s a “miracle cure” that is “being suppressed” you can safely assume it is a scam and they are stupid!

the rich and powerful want to destroy biomedical science, like they wanted to destroy climate science, and before that tobacco science and before that asbestos science -- because science and universities are an independent source of truth that can reduce the power and money of oligarchs.

I'm in this story by @ibogost.bsky.social of @theatlantic.com I predict a mass exodus. If the US wants to dismantle our academic system, there are plenty of global universities who would be thrilled to take American researchers. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch... #phd #publichealth #academia

"It's worth it because all 5 high school trans athletes in the USA can't play sports anymore!" - 10s of millions of people losing their healthcare in order to afford more tax cuts to billionaires. #NoWarButClassWar #Medicaid #MAGA #TaxTheRich #Trump #DOGE #MUSK

Results of the German election could have been way better or way worse. One positive was a stronger than expected showing for @die-linke.de, with them winning the highest percentage of those 18-24 year across the country. #DieLinke #Deutschland #GermanElection #Socialism #FCKAFD

Wir sind drin! Die Linke wird in der kommenden Legislaturperiode wieder in Fraktionsstärke im Bundestag vertreten sein! Wir danken euch für euer Vertrauen, eure Stimmen und das unglaubliche Engagement in den letzten Wochen!

It's not the best time to be a medical researcher in the USA.

When the Nazi-loving billionaire who owns a social media platform is all in his feelings because you sued him. ❄️

Nazi punks fuck off for sure but I'd love for nazis who like other types of music and ones who don't like music at all to also fuck off

When Mike Pence sounds like a voice of reason, we’re fucking doomed.

I'm far more qualified for the job than this man who has no health background. I agree with the idea of preventative medicine through diet and exercise, that's rad! But you lost me at Jews and Chinese aren't susceptible to COVID, HIV doesn't cause AIDS, and the Polio vaccine is bad. #publichealth

I'm a descendant of German Jews that got out before it got too bad. I wonder how bad it'd need to get before I use my German passport to move to the EU. I think it's not that bad yet, but I know I exist because they left early. Would I have that courage? Where do I draw a line? #USA #FuckTrump
