You are also basically guaranteed to never be heard because that rhetoric is Charlie Brown adults. Sounds like everything else. Instead, you must frame flip to centering evils of regime: No dollars for dictatorship No funding for fascism No payout for pedophile protectors (to go ALL the way there)

No matter our background, origin, or party, most of us believe violence has no place in our politics. Yet, the MAGA regime fans flames of violence, trying to turn government into a weapon against us. We must make this a country where no one fears for our lives or our loved ones.

Today, WA joins CA and OR in forming the West Coast Health Alliance to ensure our residents continue receiving science-based #PublicHealth recommendations. This partnership ensures our states will continue working with trusted medical orgs to protect our communities' health and safety.

“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. … Kennedy’s words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus. Americans deserve better.” That’s former CDC director Bill Foege. 🧪

If you teach or conduct research at a college or university join and get active in the AAUP!

Just from a logistical standpoint it is not feasible to conduct a "new" mid-decade census with accuracy. To give a sense of the scale of what is required, preparations are already underway for the *2030* census. This will add chaos to the Census Bureau and degrade the accuracy of the 2030 census

BREAKING: With #2030Census prep already underway, President Trump says he's instructed Commerce Dept to "immediately begin work" on a "new" census that excludes people living in the states without legal status from a count the 14th Amendment says must include “whole number of persons in each state”

I’ve been having a few too many conversations like this. Them: Hi Kate, how are things with your work, with the world? Me: the university is under attack, democratic norms being broken in half, so, pretty bad. Them: But everything is going to come back and be okay after the midterms. Me: Uhh, no.

Yes, there are new studies suggesting this. And I believe there are plenty of others indicating real gains. I should caveat this though. I’m reminded of when GUIs we’re introduced. People thought they boosted productivity, but they actually slowed experienced users down.

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is a rupture, there will be a before and an after. There is no reason to believe the after will resemble the before, at all. This is a demarcation in the lives of thousands of researchers and tens of thousands of educators.

The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.

Here’s something we can all do: every time we see something about the Trump administration’s attacks on science — and the impacts of those attacks — boost it. People, and even faculty, have no idea how bad it is and how much worse it’s going to get. We need to let people know…

Even if we aren't quite sure what to do, just the visible act of trying SOMETHING might be enough to inspire others to rush in and try to help too.

Living in a ChatGPT wasteland. “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Keyes told NOTUS via email. “We’ve certainly done research on this topic, but did not publish a paper in JAMA Pediatrics on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title.”

“This obsession with controlling what can researched & taught on college campuses is antithetical to higher education, academic freedom, & most importantly our shared democracy.  Ultimately, these are attempts to undermine our democracy in pursuit of authoritarian political power.” — Todd Wolfson
