Massie goes full beast mode today. Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

A year later we still feel the effects of funding cuts to #science. They trickle down to our communities and patients. The losses are immeasurable, but also often invisible to most people. Thank you to @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social for amplifying our stories and making the impacts clear as day.

thinking of all the clinical and counseling psych students on match day 🫶🏼 14 yrs ago i matched to the best place for me, even though i wanted to stay close to home. my spouse didn’t match on his first try and the year after made him way stronger. regardless of what your outcome was, you got this 💜

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help. “A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

a great article you should read instead of the Washington post one: theracket.news/p/the-most-a...

explain to me, very slowly, like the dimwitted child you must think I am, how body cameras or ICE cooperating with cops would have prevented any of the many, many, many law enforcement murders committed by both ICE and cops over the years which were already thoroughly documented on video

Columbia administration looking especially craven and incompetent about now.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

To those American academics out there who have chosen to remain silent/mostly silent about the horror going on in the USA these days at every corner of the federal government, please start speaking out and fighting back.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

“Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man.”

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Thank you @davidmalakoff.bsky.social for this write up about the past year in science and how orgs, including @standupforscience.bsky.social are meeting the moment. We all need to recognize that science is not the golden cow and we are on the chopping block, too. www.science.org/content/arti...

I needed some joy and Indiana brought it ❤️ 🤍 proud to be a #hoosier

Curt Cignetti has done the unthinkable, turning the biggest loser in college football history into a 16-0 national champion in just two seasons. With the win, he has proven to be the best coach in the sport, @brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social writes.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature? FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.” No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true. This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

We need a total and complete shutdown of ICE in the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.

this country truly is allergic to helping people

🤠 Hey, Texas faculty! As you prep for the spring semester check out our blog for tips + advice. 👇 1) Don’t self-censor, know your rights! 2) Report censorship of your teaching, research, or expression. 3) Organize your department. We are stronger together! aaup-texas.org/blog/f/2025-...

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Andromeda and Sprites over Australia apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25121... What’s happening over that tree? Two very different things. On the left is the Andromeda galaxy, an object that is older than humanity and will last billions of years into the future.

Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)? Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

1/ NEW: I found out who sent me that vile voicemail. His name is James Catalano, 62, of Fresno, California. I break the whole thing down in this video

People talk about mental illness in terms of depression or psychosis or violence but please don’t forget the “high functioning” mentally ills who are hyperproductive because their brain tells them if they don’t adhere to a rigid and punishing schedule they will literally die

Health supremacy is a form of fascism. Places outside Sweden that tried that model could not implement it in part or whole and faced spectacular death rates.

EXCELLENT graphic on the drain of scientific publishing! zenodo.org/records/1759...

Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Dteoop/

Don't start with 'sorry' - or anything that sounds like one “Time for the dull bit” “I won’t go on too long” "I haven't really prepared anything" . Instead, try these opening techniques. 1/5

These public health researchers did not choose to be political activists; they were forced to be by a president and administration that despises expertise.

Don’t look away. Look. Get mad. Take action.

A passionate plea that completely resonates with me. "...Don’t you dare call me unpatriotic for refusing to worship corruption. Don’t you dare tell me that loving this country enough to fight for it makes me the enemy. That isn’t patriotism. That’s rot. That’s decay..."

Folks I know there’s a lot going on, but if you’re free tmrw in Chicago plz support NU students been banned from classes for refusing to watch Israeli propaganda. Their lawyer (& mine), Rima Kapita, has filed an emergency order demanding the courts intervene. I filed an affidavit of support. 🙏🏾

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Amelia Knopf, @karmacap.bsky.social and @knelphd.bsky.social write in Pediatrics about how the terminations of clinical trials of children and adolescents represent cracks in the foundation of ethical research, and the moral responsibility to repair them: doi.org/10.1542/peds...

mass grant terminations might be over for now, but their impact still harms people who were in the studies, including kids & teens. @knelphd.bsky.social @amyknopf.bsky.social and I wrote about ethical implications of abruptly ending studies for political reasons publications.aap.org/pediatrics/a...

I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events. Deafening Quiet from the Scientific Establishment jeremymberg.github.io/jeremyberg.g... 1/14

Five-alarm fire inside the DOJ - Lawyer Oyer

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans
