This is *despicable* framing. The man is torpedoing science and this is how The Atlantic decides to present it?

RFK is a danger to the health of our nation. Join us in DC to deliver 100k petition signatures calling for RFK Jr. to be impeached! 📣 🚨 911 March for Health and Science! ⏰ November 5th, 3:30pm ET 📍From the National Mall to HHS HQ (200 Independence Ave SW) INFO and RSVP 🔗 in bio!

I’ve learned a LOT this year. One the biggest lessons: don’t mess with our public servants. They are a courageous bunch! A single fed has more character in one of their pinky fingers than the Trump administration has in their entire staff.

Prof. Stacy Farina asks "why don't we bring people [with direct experience of environmental damage] in and hear their perspective and have that drive our science forward?" RFK Jr's ignorance of expertise extends to the people who know the human cost of his mistakes. #impeachrfkjr #impeachthequack

On Sept 17th, 2025, @aaas.org and @researchamerica.bsky.social hosted Jay Bhattacharya—NIH Director—as the keynote for the National Health Research Forum. Less than two weeks later, he spoke at the MAHA Action hour alongside Oz, Russel Brand, Tony Lyons, and Callie Means. I have a call to action:

Denver #NOKINGS was in full force today! Thanks to so many who kept us busy at the Colorado @standupforscience.bsky.social table by stopping by to support science, sign up for the Colorado Local, and play with ooblek and microscopes! Science and health is for ALL of us!

this is a further sign of weakness, not strength, imo. It's not the red state publics that they needed to set off a general stampede. It's places like MIT. Turning this into a red state thing makes it _less_ likely to spread www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/o...

Took a break from dissertating to spend a glorious fall day in the mountains with some good pals I love this life #photography

We will NOT stand for Trump and Vought decimating our health sciences with RFK Jr's permission. JOIN US FOR A RALLY AT HHS ON FRIDAY 10/17! WE ARE TAKING BACK SCIENCE. #ImpeachTheQuack #GetOutTheVought #TakeBackScience

UPDATE‼️The Hill reports at least 4,100 employees fired today as Russell Vought and Trump devastate our government agencies and slash the federal workforce. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Being anti-fascist & anti-authoritarian = hating America ?? The country that *checks notes* brags about its democracy & freedom? & This is coming from the self proclaimed “pro-freedom” party?? Biblical levels of irony here #nokings

Hike to see the fall leaves this past weekend 😌🍂 #autumn #photography

Hey US scientists, the NY Times wants to hear from you if you've had your funding cut. 🌊🧪

This is my Roman Empire 🙇

Young children are capable of finding systematic solutions to complex problems without any instruction, contradicting long-held assumptions about cognitive development, according to a psychologist buff.ly/226VzMZ 🧪

Today is October 3rd, another day where we are calling to #ImpeachtheQuack!

Some schools will be starved of resources. Other schools will be offered bribes. The end goal is the same. To make the universities an extension of the Trump administration. Shame on any of these institutions willing to take the bribes.

TURNS OUT data analysis skills are transferable. Shout out to our staff entomologist-turned-resistance-fighter @lovettbr.bsky.social for this one... ALSO, MY DISTRICT IS WINNING AND IT ISN'T BECAUSE I BOUGHT ANY QOG! @repnikema.bsky.social buckle up! You've got ducks headed your way.

Please if you have ever read this paper go look at the second post in this thread to learn my new favorite fun fact.

As a cognitive psychologist currently working in the business of fighting fascism and defending science, this makes me so emotional. Here’s to you, Kohler

🎶 Tylenol, pregnancy, autism, vaccines🎶

FACT CHECK: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) has no credible link with autism. Tylenol is the leading option to combat dangerous fevers during pregnancy — fearmongering around tried and tested medicine puts pregnant people and children at risk. #impeachthequack

One thing they don’t tell you about writing a dissertation is the absolute agony your shoulders are suddenly in 24/7 from slouching over a computer for nearly 100 hours a week. I am… pain…

1. demonizes Tylenol 2. blames moms for causing autism by taking a pain killer for a fever or pain (nevermind risks of a high fever to a fetus) 3. recommends leucovorin, which is sold by Dr.Oz's iHerb 4. makes autism out to be worst thing a child could have, but cut kids' cancer research, etc

that's...embarrassing www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🚨We’ve got the Quack-O-Gram video up on YouTube!🚨 Please share widely—Bobby “The Quack” Jr has to go. He’s unqualified, corrupt, and going to get people killed. 🐥It’s not to late to send a QOG or bundle of Quacks to Congress: www.standupforscience.net/quack-o-grams youtu.be/wjET_T15qBk?...

Whew. 15 min break. Let's recap: > CDC officials learned of Covid vaccine recommendation change via X post > RFK Jr. can't show scientific evidence for changing childhood vax schedule > RFK Jr. gets no briefing from agency public health experts > CDC officials "very nervous" about new ACIP

@nytimes.com reports on the state of our vaccine policy – with the addition of five NEW advisors to the ACIP, 8 out of 12 appointees on the ACIP are openly vaccine-skeptic.

Alexander von Humboldt was born OTD in 1769. “[My] principal impulse … was the earnest endeavor to comprehend the phenomena of physical objects in their general connection, and to represent nature as one great whole, moved and animated by internal forces.” 🦋🦫🐋🌱🧪#HistSTM #PhilSci

With the recent loss of experts at CDC, others are already sounding the alarm. This may worsen in the coming months, with proposed budget cuts ~42% to usher in new waves of expertise loss at HHS. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #rfkjr #hhs #impeachthequack

Make America Healthy Again except those with or who will go on to develop cancer It’s time to kick the anti-science quacks of this admin to the curb. Let’s start with RFK - www.standupforscience.net/rfk-impeachm...

QUACK RACKET fig. 3: Dr Oz, administrator for Medicaid & Medicare. He's flip-flopped on everything, from supporting universal healthcare (really!) to now pitching job requirements for Medicaid that will gut healthcare for thousands. Now, he's overseeing Medicaid cut by billions by Trump and the GOP

“The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Some industries want to keep this secret so that the public can’t know who’s responsible and hold them to account,” said David Doniger, a senior attorney at @nrdc.org www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... #climatechange #epa #zeldin

I’m sure encouraging a culture of vaccine skepticism in a state that is effectively America’s retirement home is going to bode well for Floridians. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

This is horrifying. Measles vaccinations are so important www.scientificamerican.com/article/meas...

GOOD NEWS: Despite RFK Jr saying he would cancel $500 million in mRNA research, the House Committee on Appropriations has passed a spending package, that includes $1.1 billion for “advanced research and development” at BARDA, which includes research on mRNA vaccines.

While Jay Bhattacharaya will be delivering the keynote at the National Health Research Forum, we will be handing the mic to the patients most impacted by Trump, RFK Jr., and Jay’s policies. JOIN US AS WE FIGHT FOR SCIENCE! #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

JOIN THE FIGHT! As HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya are trying to legitimize a vision for American science and health research that bulldozes lives and livelihoods, we are putting people impacted by their quackery FRONT AND CENTER. HEALTH AND SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE ‼️

FIGHT FOR SCIENCE RALLY ‼️🧬💪 ⏰WHEN: Weds, Sept. 17th at 8am ET 📍WHERE: 1200 New York Ave NW, Washington DC 🔗📲JOIN US at the LINK in BIO, or in the REPLIES BELOW ⬇️

“If a new pandemic began today, mRNA vaccines are currently the only type of vaccine that could be developed quickly enough to disrupt its spread” www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/h...

Florida's SG chooses to ignore the data about vaccine rollback, but it tells a damning story. Just a 15% decline in vaccinations against measles over 25 years would lead to 1 MILLION measles cases in Florida. We deserve leaders who prioritize science over political posturing.

"History shows us that vaccines have eradicated diseases that were disabling and deadly in the past, and we can keep it that way, if we continue to vaccinate." www.reuters.com/business/hea...

RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.

Trump's firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook challenges century-old norms of Federal Reserve independence. A scholar of the American courts explains that what might be more significant is Trump’s expansive rejection of courts’ ability to decide what the law means: buff.ly/mSiwWPQ
