This is a corrupt grift by the Trump regime. Companies and hospitals (many of which rely on H1-B visas to staff hospitals) need to push back NOW!

If only people had listened to the women - and voted for a woman - we’d all be better off.

Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham are rolling over in their graves.

This is a bad political and economic choice.

If you pitched this level of hypocrisy and willful incompetence for a Hollywood movie they’d say no one would buy it.

There will be food shortages before end of summer.

NEW: The number of extreme weather disasters has jumped fivefold worldwide over the past 50 years, and the number of deaths has nearly tripled. The recent disaster in Texas is a grim omen of the climate chaos still to come. By @abrahm.bsky.social @propublica.org

Imagine if the founding fathers deported anyone who disagreed with them…

ICE needs to be stopped.

The Trump administration is literally stealing or destroying taxpayer-paid public assets.

This is a sad day in America when our highest court in the land says Trump can deport people to dangerous countries with which they have no connection and with no hearing. Utterly lawless and inhumane.

Why or why would wewant more cancer-causing asbestos? This BS needs to stop.

Another big EPA ruling: A federal judge ruled that the EPA had broken the law in refusing to spend $600 million in environmental justice grants from the Biden administration, www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

This story line is the “Do Not Look Up” of chemical policy - so outrageous you’d think it was an SNL skit, but no. Trump’s EPA is poisoning people in more ways than one.

OFFS. ☠️☠️ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Maybe throwing a Senator to the ground and handcuffing him for asking a question was designed to keep people from hearing about this???

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

The corporate media is failing to stand up to fascism.

This is insane.

This was a real and important commencement speech. The one we heard at my son’s graduation was some vanilla ice cream about teams. How can higher ed send graduates into a world where truth, democracy, diversity, humanity, education and free speech are under attack and fail to acknowledge it?

It’s more than in conflict with human trafficking. It is human trafficking and it makes human trafficking by non-government criminal actors easier.

"You can’t protect children from harmful chemicals while gutting EPA, cutting funding to NIEHS, and rolling back or eliminating environmental rules that protect people from toxic exposures." @traceywoodruff.bsky.social

You can’t improve children’s health while eliminating clean air and clean water laws and gutting EPA. More toxic chemicals and pollution = sicker people.

"Eliminating the science will not make the harms go away." @traceywoodruff.bsky.social @epw.senate.gov

This administration always does the opposite of what it says.

The chemical industry has a long list of "asks" from the new administration. These requests will leave people exposed to more toxic chemicals and pollutants in the air, water, homes, and workplaces. Read the list. What do you think? prheucsf.blog/2025/05/12/i...

From Jeffrey Toobin's 2008 book THE NINE, this remains the greatest Justice Souter anecdote I can possibly share. RIP.

This will also decimate our pipeline of young scientists. Congress needs to wake up. Cuts to science cannot be allowed to stand.

🚨SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE: TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS 🚨 In his first 100 days, Trump has declared war on science—slashing budgets, censoring facts, and meddling in research. From climate to cancer care, real lives are at risk. Here’s a thread on Trump’s assault on science so far—and why it matters: (🧵)

Trump is looking after big business and lining his pockets. He doesn’t care what that means for you.

This is reduction in force. Reduction in the force of American science. Reduction in a highly trained workforce with the capacity to discover, create, and build. Reduction in force-magnifying effects as discoveries become devices, diagnostics, and cures. A steep price to pay for all of us.

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

This regime wants you to have more children so they can poison them.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

When you force people to foreign incarceration for the rest of their life without due process... that's not deportation. That's human trafficking. And it's not a prison. It's a concentration camp.

They are whitewashing history, the military, and now science. Push back! Call your members of Congress tomorrow.

Members of Congress need to wake up and push back on the dismantling and elimination of American research which is the backbone of economic progress and our leadership in the world.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Looks like the start of another lawsuit.

Best news in a long time!!! www.newsweek.com/supreme-cour...

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

I don’t recognize my country. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

“Women having babies should not be dying in the United States and those trends are going up, especially among Black women.” - Tracey J Woodruff PhD at @cleanairmoms.bsky.social #plastics summit

Important point here: they are not firing public officials to save money - personnel costs are relatively minor - they want to kneecap capacity so that these agencies struggle to spend money. Its a back door impoundment.

Climate change and pesticides. The first, the new admin pretends doesn’t exist and the second they are eliminating rules to restrict.

Making disease great again.

Government research has long made America a global leader. It provides a return on investment of $2.50 for every $1 spent. See how cuts to federal health research affect jobs in your state. scienceimpacts.org

U.S. military veterans are raising the alarm about TCE, a highly toxic chemical that EPA found poses "unreasonable health risks." Under the current administration, EPA delayed a scheduled ban and phase out. It's time to protect our troops and their families from #TCE.
