This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Super point George, thanks for pressing the bad guys' buttons here. To this point, we're looking for signers in support of the #EPA heroes trying to stop their boss #Zeldin from de-regging energy, mining, oil & everything else. www.standupforscience.net/epa-declarat... #StandUpForScience #LilHelp

Tl;dr: 250,000 more Minnesotans at risk of devastating medical bills, higher energy prices, rural hospital closures, and longer ambulance wait times. None of this is worth a tax cut for billionaires. Congress needs to reject this bill.

Tell it, Secretary! Thx for pushing this critical message @ such a crucial moment. To ur point of oligarchs vs humans, looking for signers in support of the #EPA heroes who yesterday put their boss #Zeldin on notice. Any help deeply 🖤! www.standupforscience.net/epa-declarat... #StandUpForScience

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 At 7:59am, Zeldin - Trump crony and head of EPA - received the Declaration of Dissent from EPA workers. Workers are uniting against political interference, censorship & rollbacks at EPA under Zeldin’s leadership. Someone’s week is off to a bad start. (1/5)

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something... My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

Stanford's professor and Bethesda Declaration signatory @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social notes that the declaration “represents the voices of the highly trained Americans at NIH who want to serve their country and steward the biomedical enterprise.” 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

The moral of the story: The math ain't mathin'. Trump's cuts to science spending will damage our economy, leave hundreds of thousands of people jobless, destroy the discovery pipeline, and most importantly, cost lives. But we are fighting back. Join us: www.standupforscience.net/summer-fight...

Scientists, I am asking us to do something that goes against our nature: Step away from fine-grained, nuanced arguments. Zoom WAY out. Share the big picture. Don’t soften the seriousness of this moment with “xxx may be ok in xxx circumstances” talk. It’s uncomfortable AND necessary.

🚨URGENT RESPONSE CALL🚨 🌪️23 LIVES WERE LOST OVERNIGHT AS TORNADOS HIT KY. KY has one of several regions in the US without 24/7 National Weather Service coverage, due to DOGE cuts. W/out overnight monitoring, ppl don't receive weather warnings. THIS is how science cuts cost lives. shorturl.at/JgTjU

*whispers* Two $70,000,000 fighter jets fell off a navy ship in the past two weeks. But 24/7 weather monitoring across the US is considered “wasteful”. The math ain’t mathin

Here are my top 10 singing dogs!

“You can’t make this up.” - Marsha, making it up

Aaaand there it is.

4 artists & 3 scientists created a series of posters to communicate some of the science issues most important to us. These posters are made to be shared! We're selling them in 4-packs, so YOU can share them outside of the science circles where we hang out online. get 'em squidfacts.bigcartel.com

The silence from big patient advocacy groups and disease focused non-profits is astounding. American Cancer Society, Alzheimer's Association, American Heart Association, American Lung Association...should be running CONSTANT ads against these cuts with stories from patients. #StandUpforScience

One thing about researchers is we will publish our way through the attempts to cancel us. New paper in @jama.com, the authors examine the impact of NIH grant cancellations on the US research enterprise by institute or center and ward type. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Your School House Rock moment......

I am traveling today and happen to be wearing a jacket with the logo of the health system I work for. Three people at the airport have wished me "happy nurses' day". I've replied, "Thank you, nurses are awesome, and I'm a doctor."😊 Be careful how you carry your bias, Black women can be doctors too 🤷🏽‍♀️

Mark Cuban on why the Trumpcession will hit small cities/towns the worst, especially as they feel the brunt of his federal spending cuts.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Good list for anyone seeking reliable guidance to counter the steady stream of health disinformation from this administration. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/w...

This is probably fruitless but I submitted the attached appeal letter to the termination of my #NEH/#NSF individual fellowship yesterday. Sent via eGMS Reach to PO, asking to forward to the senior deputy chairman (who has to receive it per T&C). Sharing as a resource in case

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days. We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.

Good Night World

Hi everyone, as you may know, the @3wishesprogram.bsky.social at UCLA is largely funded by philanthropy. For this "Bruin Giving Day" campaign, we have a donor who will give our program $10,000 if we are able to get 30 donors in 2 days! Your help (regardless of amount) would mean so much to me!

Yo, the town of Bellingham WA is considering making the city an official transgender sanctuary and they're having a town hall meeting this Monday at about 6:30-7ish! Would mean a lot to me if folks in the area showed support, id love a city close to my heart to be a sanctuary!

While my journalism colleagues have spent the weekend hobnobbing at the White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend.... I've been building a resistance summer course on race and media--- instead of partying with the regime that's trying to purge education on race. Miss me with that.

There are a ton of ways to get involved. If you want to get involved with @standupforscience.bsky.social go fill out this form. Idc what organization it is, or if it’s any, but if you have benefited from our institutions and you do nothing: you are guilty. actionnetwork.org/forms/sufs-i...

Today between seeing patients, I ran into a fellow physician/scientist colleague in the hospital, our chit chat was about canceled grants, trying to safely wind down now defunded studies, our research programs and the uncertain future of science and the communities we serve. None of this is normal.

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

We are happy to see Sharyn Alfonsi and @60minutes.bsky.social covering the existential crisis facing science in the United States. Huge swaths of the public are unaware of Trump's dismantling of research. From big media stories to conversations with friends--every bit counts! #standupforscience

Hi Canada. I hope you have a good election tomorrow. Someone deserves one.

🎯 @rachelgilmore.bsky.social & @karenattiah.bsky.social singing our song. We deal with the “activist vs. journalist” attack all the time, even from local media here in Tennessee. Call us whatever you want. As Rachel says, we’d much rather be activists than stenographers. Be truthful, not neutral
