“People, especially new parents looking for awesome bedtime stories, need to be reading everything they can possibly find about these ancient and powerful beings instead of blindly accepting the narrow range of depictions put forth by the mainstream media,” Kennedy wrote theonion.com/rfk-jr-...

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

German research institute launches program to match threatened NIH grants with pharma funders www.fiercebiotech.com/research/ger...

And again WE AINT GOING BACK we meant that part. On big sandals 🩴 period.

Our final episode is live! Tune in on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts to join the farewell party! Thank you to our hosts, @kbjohnsonmd.bsky.social, @harrisbland.bsky.social and Ellie Shuert! #informatics #healthcare #medicine #science #datascience #healthequity #podcast #ai #publichealth

Thousands of people around the world gathered on Friday to protest what they consider the antiscience actions of President Donald Trump. That story and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

I'm pretty sure Marco Rubio would have turned Anne Frank over to the Germans ... and somewhere, Susan Collins would have been concerned.

🇬🇧🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇺🇦 The Prime Minister reiterated that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are key partners of the UK, including through the Joint Expeditionary Force, and welcomed their leading contributions in support of Ukraine since Russia’s illegal invasion began. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Ted Cruz said he’d found $2 billion in “woke” science grants, but his team used keyword searches that flagged things out of context, like a grant to develop a device to treat severe bleeding that mentioned “victims” and “trauma.” www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

As a millennial, why did they push us to wear ankle socks that never protected my ankles? The sensory torture of ankle socks dipping below the show heel. And why were our pants inseams so long they dragged and got torn up and wet? Why were some clothes so baggy they’d fall off? Why?

In #Virginia, VCU Health and CHKD — if they haven’t yet — need to follow suit. Immediately. “At least one health system — the hospital affiliated with the University of Virginia — said it would resume providing services that had been paused under the order.” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Erasing our history won't erase us. Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Please talk to people in your family, coffee shops, etc., about what’s happening with federal #funding and what it means for #science 🧪, #research, and #medicine. I was chatting with folks at my gym this morning (after the 💪, of course), and they were all like 😵‍💫🫨 they had no idea #ScienceFunding

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

It's been 2 years since we asked the @nytimes.com to improve their trans coverage, meet with trans community leaders, and hire trans journalists. Why won't they meet with trans leaders?

University leaders have not been especially vocal about the new administration *because* they were so worried about Trump just gutting the research infrastructure. And now they have done so anyway.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

The police who attacked people protesting ICE raids in San Diego, Atlanta, and elsewhere this weekend are the same police that Joe Biden made excuses for and increased funding to. The future will be tyranny or liberation. It's no longer possible to sit on the fence. crimethinc.com/posters/the-...

People need to fundamentally understand - Democrats don't lead: they aren't going to call for a protest, general strike or for Trump to be held accountable. They're more terrified of their own base than they are of Trump. Want them to move? People have to mobilize + make a massive push in society.

Trump yesterday tried to blame "dwarfism" for the crash!

Media : why were people cheering for Luigi People :

"Should the adequacy decision fall despite all efforts, data controllers can still fall back on standard contractual clauses. Although this will not make data transfers to the USA impossible, it will involve significantly more effort."

In 24 hours we've gotten executive orders attempting to ban gender affirming care, ban recognition of trans youth in schools, ban trans employees in the federal government. It's a full on societal purge of trans people. They meant it when they said they wanted to eradicate us.

If you replaced their made up term "gender ideology" with judeo bolshevism, it would be no different from the Nazis who purged Jews from government, schools, business etc. The wording and rationale are different but the intent is the same.

As a free market conservative, I want the federal government run like a business. A shitty, money-losing social media business plagued by hate speech and spam bots.

Call Costco (425-313-8100) to express support for their DEI commitment. I had a great chat with a Costco person. They asked that when in warehouse, share support with employees, they need the + feedback. 🛒Costco💙

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I just donated $50 to @transjournalists.org because they do important work and deserve the support. I strongly encourage anyone who can match me to do so. It also feels better than becoming more overwhelmed from doomscrolling: www.transjournalists.org/donate/

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” ~President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941

It’s literally and explicitly part of the plan. www.americanprogress.org/article/proj...

let's remember that it was an NIH scientist who designed the core of the Moderna Covid vaccine *over a single weekend*

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

🧵 A lot of people do not click on links so I give you a summary: Mussolini pulled a lot from Roman history. The word FASCISM and its symbol come straight from Latin: In ancient Rome, lictors (attendants to magistrates) would hold the fasces as a symbol of the penal power of their magistrate. 1/1

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

Keolu Fox has some excellent work to prioritize indigenous people in research and including them in not only the research but in the benefits of the work. One of the best talks at @pacsym.bio thus far!

Great scenery for the opening reception at the 30th Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. @pacsym.bio is my favorite conference every year. Looking forward to our 30th Anniversary Session tomorrow morning followed by a keynote by Dr. Kevin Johnson. Aloha from the Big Island 🏝️ 🍍 🌺

It’s not every day that you go to a conference and get to see a volcano erupting. Thanks, @pacsym.bio!

Remembering President Jimmy Carter with the 2 @JAMA_current editorials he authored- Closing the Gap: The Burden of Unnecessary Illness (9/13/1985) Physicians and Human Rights (5/23/1986)

Viewpoint: Medical students and residents need to be educated on health policy issues like insurance, payment models, and drug regulation to better understand the factors that impact patient health outcomes. https://ja.ma/3BuTE7P
