A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

The Nobel Prizes, 5 of 6 having so far gone to US based scientists, are a reminder of why we must stand up for science against this horrid administration. Here are some great Scientist Activists to follow. go.bsky.app/14W5Rdk

i love ta-nehisi coates so much

I, too, have been frustrated by the line outside Voodoo Donuts, but it seems pretty childish to declare war on it

This is going to be in my head all day. IYKYK

Today, scientists know that genetics plays a role in many conditions and diseases. But back in the ’90s, geneticist Mary-Claire King was the first to link a gene to an inherited form of a common cancer.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Extremist murders by ideology, 2013 to 2022. www.pbump.net/o/reassessin...

Them: I like your shirt! Me: As a former Midwesterner I am legally obligated to tell you that I got it on sale.

My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.

The fact that an indicted war criminal has been invited to the US to meet with the President to look at maps of the country he invaded tells you Putin has already won.

The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. But after the state passed a measure preventing transgender young people like their daughter from using girls’ bathrooms, they sold it and moved away.

Four CDC buildings shot up. Employees under lockdown and in fear for hours. Public health is physically under attack, and the silence from the administration is deafening.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

I feel like we should all be able to get onboard with the belief that starving people shouldn't be intentionally slaughtered while trying to get food. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

i'd hide the client list in the methods section

Killing MIT seems dumb to me

The only person to have universal rights in this country is a straight, white, able-bodied, Christian man.

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights. It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids. My latest in @thenation www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

We feed you. They hunt us.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

This is yet another good example of why men are too emotional to be in leadership.

These ships honor giants of American history — people like Marylanders Thurgood Marshall and Harriet Tubman, who helped forge a stronger, more powerful nation and made us a global example of freedom in action. This is repulsive.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Still is mind boggling that Trump is making his first grifting corrupt foreign visit in countries where women are not seen or heard Yet it’s treated as normal and or not even mentioned that women have little or no human rights

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Good Morning Everyone #MomSky Mother's Day Weekend Honoring all you great MOMS & every person who's a "mom" figure in someone's life My mom taught me My daughter now outshines me We still have so much work to do Keep Fighting Not only Moms All of us Thank you all

Welcome to the liquidation of American dominance in science

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

Just a quick update on flight safety. It's on everyone's minds and I would like to provide a very important statistic. So far, in 2025, we have had the most aircraft related fatalities in the US since 2001. And yes, we are referring to 9/11. It's only May.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Yesterday was an inspiring day at #AACR25, as the cancer research community came together in Chicago to drive progress in cancer science and medicine.

"It is critically important that we raise our voices in support of innovative cancer science and medicine." AACR President Patricia M. LoRusso, DO, PhD (hc), FAACR, calls on the #AACR25 delegates to stand together and call on Congress to make cancer research a national priority.

AACR CEO Margaret Foti announces the launch of the AACR Trailblazer Cancer Research Grants—which will provide nine $1 million grants to early-stage investigators and six $1 million grants to mid-career investigators—at the #AACR25 Opening Ceremony.

There is a LOT happening at #AACR25, including some big name researchers, including former government officials, speaking out against cuts to science funding. And there are also some amazing data! From me and @angusrohan.bsky.social. www.statnews.com/2025/04/27/a...

A series of three sessions during #AACR25 will explore behind-the-scenes strategies and expert insights in oncology drug design and development. Learn more in AACR Annual Meeting News: www.aacrmeetingnews.org/news/new-dru... @califam.bsky.social

I fought damn hard to create the 988 Hotline because help should not be hard to get – regardless of who you are or where you live. This is wrong and cruel – and you can be sure I will fight this. www.axios.com/2025/04/23/l...

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.

A Lancet preprint estimates that if US funding is cut and not replaced, from 2025-2040 there will be 15.2 mil add'l AIDS deaths, 2.2 mil add'l TB deaths, 7.9 mil add'l child deaths from other causes, and 40-55 mil add'l unplanned pregnancies. @altusaid.altgov.info papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Friday Night Massacre of accurate information. A devastating day for the USA as tens of millions of dollars of grants seeking to combat the spread of false information were terminated. We have a federal govenrment that does not consider the verifiable truth a priority. www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...
