Pope Leo’s message to Trump ain’t subtle. He just appointed a former undocumented immigrant as the new Bishop of W Virginia. Same day, he named a Howard University chaplain as auxiliary bishop, who’s been clear: Trump’s attacks on DEI are a dangerous “regression” in the fight for racial equality.

RFK Jr. was exposed in last week’s hearing for exactly what he is: a conspiracy theorist with no medical expertise making dangerous decisions for our health. He must go. Tell your Rep to co-sponsor the articles of impeachment at this link: zurl.co/5ge8z #ImpeachTheQuack #RFKJr zurl.co/pgXvS

I love this so much. Barack Obama sat down with Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a Bronx child care center, reading “Alone and Together,” a book about connection, community, and belonging to preschoolers. Sidebar: Not sure these little-ones knew who Obama was 😂

Donald Trump is killing real schoolgirls in Iran and kidnapping and murdering real Americans in the streets. Interesting that the only thing he’s done that went “too far” for MAGA was an *imaginary* image. What a ridiculous world we live in.

“Truth Decay”. A phrase the explains so much about our current media landscape in two words.

The way people state a casual guess/ hunch/ paranoid suspicion/ accusation as a fact, and the way that has become normalized and widespread, is how a lot of people participate in truth decay. Here, there, and everywhere. Across the political spectrum.

ICE IS DETAINING HUMAN BEINGS IN INHUMANE CONDITIONS. REPORTS OF PEOPLE BEING SHOT, STRIPPED AND NEGLECTED ARE OUTRAGEOUS. IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS, AND WE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS. STAND UP, SPEAK OUT AND DEFEND DIGNITY. ICE AND RIGHTS.

SPLASHDOWN!!! Three cheers for science, engineering, research, curiosity, cooperation. Look what the fuck we can do when we ask big questions, work together, and fund our scientists. Congratulations, NASA. Congratulations, humanity!

everyone in the house and senate who is not demanding his Immediate Removal hates America and is an accessory to Corruption, Murder and War Crimes. thank you for your attention to this matter

What a stunning and gorgeous picture of Earth taken from Artemis II courtesy of NASA. I wish us humans cared more about our beautiful planet to take better care of her. What have you done today to make the world a better place?

The greatest mathematician of the space age made Artemis possible.

I love it when I obtain results counter to my hypothesis. It shows me that the truth may be something much more interesting. As a neuroscientist I’m continually awed by the complexity of the brain. What a privilege to study this amazing organ! 🧪🧠

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Nice article on the current challenges of peer review. Hope some brilliant minds figure out a way forward that preserves critical scientific judgement. 🧪

I have never wavered in my position that there can be no compromise with RFK Jr. He is a dangerous fraud who has caused incalculable damage to public health. It’s extremely disappointing that the President of the American Medical Association was doing a photo op with RFK Jr. this morning.

There’s no better day than NO KINGS to reflect on the words of General Mark Milley “We don’t take an oath to a King”…

Excellent thread on the value of protest and why it’s essential to continue to show up. #NoKings

Just want to say thank you so much to @standupforscience.net for organizing such an amazing accessible No Kings rally! What an incredible lineup and community-building event. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be counted! #NoKings #NoKings3

Thank you @standupforscience.net @cdelawalla.bsky.social, the speakers, and interpreters for an inspiring virtual rally!

Bruce Springsteen: This past winter, federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. Well, they picked the wrong city.

Hell yea to Colette from @standupforscience.net specifically calling out for RFK to be removed from office immediately and how he is making us sicker as a country!! #NoKings “We judge a tree by its fruit and your fruit SUCKS, it’s rotten” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gratitude to @standupforscience.net and @cdelawalla.bsky.social for pulling together an excellent inclusive online #NoKings rally. Inspiring speakers reminded participants of the importance of showing up and speaking up. Thank you!

We refuse to let the Trump administration intimidate us — no matter what, we will continue to defend our civil rights and liberties.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

I’m grateful for faculty with expertise and track record on prevention & response plans for targeted harassment. I’m most familiar with @rebekahtromble.bsky.social’s projects researchersupport.org & expertvoicestogether.org - I’m sure she can recommend others for everyone who needs help now

America needs a Surgeon General who follows the science, not trending conspiracies and pseudoscience. Tell your Senator to vote against Casey Means as our nation’s doctor!
