Within a few days, President Trump’s administration is expected to complete a review of exhibits at Independence National Historical Park We obtained and reviewed internal comments submitted by NPS employees. Here’s what they flagged:

Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped. Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

In this episode of the Love n' Leary podcast abt what prepares nurses to hold elected office - yes nurses are "designed & equipped" to hold elected office, why we decided to go through the Healing Politics program, what we learned, and what is next on our political journeys. youtu.be/TtHa7Q7sb2A?...

This is what is happening right now.

"We’re really encouraging people to take this as a sign of encouragement that what we’re doing is getting through to people...it’s a really empowering message: It’s working, keep going, don’t give up” @philadelphiascienceaction.substack.com Dr. Amanda Therrien. www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

Penn’s Capitulation to Trump Makes All Students Less Safe Our latest op-ed in Philadelphia Gay News epgn.com/2025/07/25/p...

The use of the face coverings to make ICE agents unidentifiable while making arrests in immigrant communities has become a national flashpoint in recent weeks. (1/3)

“It doesn’t matter if you were born here or not, when one community is under attack, we are all under attack,” Leary said. She questioned why the city wasn’t doing more to protect its immigrants. “What is happening right now is not OK,” she said.” www.inquirer.com/news/juntos-...

1/ ✊🔬 Introducing the Philadelphia Science Action Substack — your local hub for scientists & science activists fighting for truth, transparency & inclusivity in Philly and beyond. 🧵 philadelphiascienceaction.substack.com

I signed @watchpartyphl.bsky.social and Philadelphia Science Action's letter to the University of Pennsylvania expressing our support for trans athletes and inclusive sports. Stand with us!

✉️ READ the open letter. ✍️ SIGN it. 🔄 SHARE it. Let’s show the world that #Philly stands up for science, for inclusion, and for every athlete’s right to belong. open.substack.com/pub/philadel... 10, end of🧵

Philly wants the Trump administration out of our college sports. We won’t let an administration that misuses and distorts science to justify transphobia dictate what happens in our athletic communities. Science is a part of our everyday lives, and that includes sports. 🧵 1/n

Today, on the Love n' Leary podcast, we're raising awareness about the risks of DEHP in IV bags and other medical devices. DEHP is a potent endocrine disruptor linked to many adverse health effects, including breast and other cancers. ***This episode is sponsored by B. Braun. youtu.be/WTVXwdCrs7Y

“Penn’s acquiescence here is troubling…not least of which is condoning the scapegoating, revisionism, & transphobia…also bc it adds credence to an interpretation of biological sex that flies in the face of current science.” @philadelphiascienceaction.substack.com open.substack.com/pub/philadel...

I have a t-shirt for every occasion ✊

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

In April the #Trump administration warned #Penn that it risked losing federal funding if it didn’t strip swimmer Lia Thomas of her records. On Tuesday, we caved, writes Jonathan Zimmerman. 🔗 inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

I do A LOT of podcasts focused on my professional life, so when I was asked to go on, Cheesesteak Queers, along with my twin sister @jenleary.bsky.social, I was stoked. In the episode we talk about our advocacy work, growing up gay, & more. Mostly we laughed though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFqQ...

Biology is bigger than binaries. Some sparrows can have 4 sexes. Clown fish change sex during their lifetime. Some honey bees can change sex depending various factors. Biological traits like sex & gender dont always fit into 2 man-made categories - its a spectrum. This is not unique to humans.

Actions speak so much louder than words. You cannot foster community and have an inclusive and welcoming environment for students, faculty, staff, patients and communities when capitulating to hate and discrimination. www.inquirer.com/education/pe...

In light of the news on my first day of sabbatical: gender is a social construct, trans women are women, no amount of complying with authoritarians who pretend they will only strip some people but not you of rights will keep you safe. And in 2025 university administrators should know all of that.

Through its cuts to Medicaid & changes to the ACA, the BBB is expected to cut health coverage for a staggering 16M Americans. Here, @marionleary.bsky.social discusses this “break glass” moment that calls for our immediate action. Call your Senators TODAY! Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

Time to pick a side, America. Is this the future you want for us?

From a waterfall and then a lava field in Iceland, the Kelly-Leary families and our awesome Icelandic guide, say #NoKings and #FuckTrump. #nokingsday

Today from Iceland, I will be posting photos holding a #NoKings sign in solidarity with everyone all over the US taking to the streets protesting Trump, #ICE and the corrupt want-to-be authoritarian regime. I’m sorry I’m not there with everyone IRL but I’m there in spirit & virtually! #ResistTrump

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Rest is resistance. Its killing me that Im out of the country on vacation but I promise Im coming back rested, rejuvenated & ready to resist! Im standing in solidarity w/ everyone fighting against #ICE & our facist regime frm across the pond. I’ll be back in the States & the streets w/ you soon.
