Thank you, Philadelphia for doing what you’ve done for me. I am living proof that immigrants thrive and give back to this great city. That’s why I got into public service. - Councilmember Nina Ahmad #standupforscience #philadelphiascienceaction #philadelphia #immigrants

Philadelphia has always been a sanctuary city. The abolition movement, the Underground Railroad. It continues today. I am proof of that, and so many people who can’t be here; we need to speak for them. - Councilmember Nina Ahmad #standupforscience #philadelphiascienceaction #sancturycity

This is not Gilead and we are not Handmaids. We cannot build a healthy society while ignoring the science of our reproductive health. - Saleemah McNeil, Oshun Family Center #standupforscience #philadelphiascienceaction #doula #doulas

The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate among wealthy nations. And black women are still three to four times higher to die for pregnancy-related causes than their white counterparts. -Saleemah McNeil, Oshun Family Center #standupforscience #philadelphiascienceaction #doula #doulas

If you’re an immigrant, if you’re first generation, if you’re a woman, a scientist of color, trans, or gay, you belong in science. - Maya English, PhD student, GETUP UAW #standupforscience #philadelphiascienceaction

Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran. While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.

In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

Every dollar spent on bombs is a dollar not spent on curing disease. Every missle built is laboratory that doesn’t get built. - Todd Wolfson, AAUP #standupforscience #philadelphiascienceaction #nowar

The future of humanity should not depend on whether billionaires feel generous; it should depend on the democratic will of us - Todd Wolfson, AAUP #standupforscience #philadelphiascienceaction #taxbillionaires

Defending immigrant rights is not separate from science - Matthew Goldshore, pediatric surgeon #standupforscience #immigrantrights #philadelphia #medicine #philadelphiascienceaction #abolishice

When you attack immigrants, you attack science - Philadelphia Councilmember Jamie Gauthier #standupforscience #philadelphia #philadelphiascienceaction

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

JB Pritzker: “Kristi Noem needs to go. Stephen Miller needs to go…the monsters responsible… need to be investigated and prosecuted.”
 A governor calling for prosecutions at the top of government. Read that twice. #BlueSky #LawSky #PoliSky#NewsSky

Donald Trump is lying to you. We must see through this administration's callousness.

Millions of Americans are on the brink of hunger and federal workers and military members are without pay — yet the President is focused on destroying our history. We are better than this cruelty.

A helicopter shot of No Kings protesters marching to Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves over what we have allowed America to become under the fascist authoritarian rule of Trump. 🙌💪👏✊️🇺🇸👇

Absolutely packed from Independence Hall to the Constitution Center and backed up into every cross street. Nowhere near enough room for everyone who came out today. Trump's ambition to be America's 21st century tyrant will fail. #nokings

Independence Hall Oct 18 2025

Philly protest is starting. #nokings #indivisble

GOP leaders call this "terrorism" and "hating America." Utter bullshit, meant to cow us all into submission. Prove them wrong by joining the No Kings protest nearest you, this Saturday, Oct 18. #nokings #indivisible

No Kings protests are next Saturday. Our signs are eager to go. Google "No Kings" to find the protest nearest you. We'll be at the Philadelphia protest, Oct 18, 12-3pm, marching from City Hall to Independence Hall. #nokings #indivisible #philadelphia #independencehall

Come and get me.

"Each concession leaves institutions more entangled with the federal government and more vulnerable to future coercion. Resistance must be strong, early, and sustained, or the space for resistance will vanish." Read our latest blog post by @dramandar.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/philadel...

Another Saturday, another Tesla Takedown in Devon PA. De facto president Stephen Miller calls what I'm doing "terrorism." Bullshit. I'm going to keep calling ICE gestapo as long as they keep acting like Gestapo. Abe agrees. #teslatakedown #abolishice #nokings #indivisible

PSA was honored to speak at the Parlee Center for Science and the Common Good at Ursinus College. @amandastherrien.bsky.social and @dramandar.bsky.social had an inspiring day speaking with and learning from students about the threats facing biomedical science—and what we can do to protect it.

New sign: bigger, reinforced for wind resistance, updated to keep pace with the fascism. Abe approves. Crappy Birthday, Elon!! #teslatakedown #muskmustfall #nokings #indivisible

Tesla Takedown today, Devon PA. Counted 155 honks/waves/thumbs up 👍 compared to 13 thumbs down 👎 / middle fingers from motorists on Lancaster Ave (US 30). Crappy Birthday, Elon!! #teslatakedown

Look, I know your first instinct might be to be weirded out and disgusted by the the fact that a leading Democrat is lending legitimacy to the wannabe-dictator's propaganda shows while his regime is dismantling the constitution - but hear me out... No, actually, you got that exactly right.

It is so obvious that this should not be allowed and the party that puts an end to it, and all the stock trading, etc. will have done something great for this country.

For decades, our government has been bought by for-profit interests that treat public service as a business opportunity—profiting off our tax dollars through contracts, corporate handouts, and policies that benefit billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street executives.

Philadelphia now

Finally! This is what we've been waiting for from Senate Dems. The rest of us can do our part on April 5.

This!

Lots of honks and thumbs up from passing cars. Thumbs up outnumbered middle fingers more than 20:1. Thanks to organizers for this. #teslatakedown
