May this one day happen to them.

Here is an image the NIH Director just shared on Twitter: A poster of him wearing a tattoo from a convicted rapist.

What???????? Would actually need to say the complete opposite…

It’s been 22 days since we’ve had trash collection… and we still wait…

NEWS: Some D.C. residents say they haven’t gotten their trash picked up in three weeks. The post-storm collection challenges have also tied into some broader concerns with services from the D.C. Department of Public Works, @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports:

Our nation is being destroyed by Trump and the Republican Party. I used to get a surge of pride to live so close to the White House. Now it’s a construction project for our megalomaniac president

And the new NCI Director moves to piss away his scientific credibility. First, killing cancer cells is a very low bar; many compounds kill cancer cells and are not the least bit useful for treating cancer. 1/2

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

Goddamn, that was a great halftime show. Take a bow, Bad Bunny. 10/10. 🇵🇷🇺🇸

FROZEN SOLID DC -- to a degree we seldom see. CWG photographer Kevin Ambrose (@dcstormchaser.bsky.social) visited and photographed the National Mall on Sunday morning -- after two weeks straight of mostly freezing weather. Here are four of his photos.

Jay's passion for replication famously only applies to research he doesn't already agree with.

So, the March for Life appears to have brought Measles to DC. www.nbcwashington.com/news/health/...

Journalists are heroes. And they’re under attack. It is why we must respect their work by giving them credit and recognition for the risks they take to keep #AllOfUs informed. #Resist #AllOfUs #AltCitizen

they're really testing god here

I don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"

Good morning ppl! Day 2 of the Just the Tip Shitdown and while the FDA is at work we are selecting squares for how long this shitdown will last. I’m at 2 weeks but should hedge my bet by buying 3 weeks.

“I cannot, of course, deny that these men are surprised that this is the law; they really are surprised that there is any such thing as law.” - Prosecutor Robert H Jackson, Nuremberg opening address. Child sex trafficking rings have always been illegal. These people have no idea what’s coming.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Last rant (for the day) about the "Reclaiming Science" MAHA event. Deputy Director Memoli (who was described as running NIH inside whereas Director Bhattacharya handles external issues [Narrator: Normally, the NIH Director does not delegate NIH management] participated in a panel discussion. 1/16

Working on Valentines from @sarahmackattack.bsky.social. So cute and informative!

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries. This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/autocracy-...

10,000+ crowd in Copenhagen today, protesting Trump’s disrespect towards Danish vets, and the US embassy’s removal of flags honoring Denmark’s war dead. There with @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social to show solidarity, alongside @denverr.bsky.social and @deanblundell.bsky.social

Furlough… oh how I have missed thee

More of the radical transparency & embrace of academic dissent that Podcast Jay is famous for—banning journalists from Nature & Science from covering the NIH Director’s public remarks on science. At least Max and Jocelyn weren’t arrested like other journalists reporting on this regime’s atrocities.

“They arrested the wrong Don!”

In 2025, departures of govt scientists outnumbered new hires by a ratio of 11 to 1. This reduction in STEM PhDs translates to 106k yrs of federal work experience across 10,000 employees. These talents will take their expertise elsewhere. Experience is indispensable. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

The government arresting journalists and killing civilians who record them is TEXTBOOK FASCISM.

Turns out pizza-gate was more or less real, but full of Republicans and not Hillary or Obama. Go figure.

NEW: Enormous anti-ICE, anti-Trump protest happening in Baltimore right now. Crowd stretching back over the horizon. (🎥 PSL Baltimore)

If you answer “No” you get an invitation to Mar-a-Lago

There was a sidewalk under here… but we’re told NOT to walk in the road… #dcliving

Insane corruption

His voice cracked as he spoke.“Nurses are shift workers,” he said. “We always aim to leave our relief shift set up for success, to carry on the sacred work of care in the best way possible.” “Alex is now relieved. That means now it’s up to us to carry the work forward.”

Kash Patel this Sunday: “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you want."

"Don't worry, I've got you." ‘For Alex’ Alex Jeffrey Pretti 1988 - 2026 RIP Beautiful tribute by illustrator MJ.Hiblen (@mjhiblenart on Instagram).

I’m here in DC, right before a historic snowstorn, for a last minute action. “ICE out for good!”

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

This is Alex Pretti. This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE. #ScientistsAgainstICE

D.C. residents know how to prepare/overreact before a snow storm, right? An employee at a local hardware store says they sold out six pallets of ice melt. And those 1,000 sleds that were ordered? He bets they’ll sell out too. “It’s like it’s Snowpocalypse 2.0,” he says.

Unprecedented, unpresidential, unAmerican. Impeach, Convict, Remove, Yeet.

US law requires 2/3 Senate approval for international treaties

EMBL is deeply saddened by the passing of our Interim Director General Peer Bork, a pioneering scientist who left an indelible imprint on life science research in Europe and beyond. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. www.embl.org/news/people-...

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America. At least until tomorrow.

So... yeah. Exactly what ICE is doing then.
