I realize I have no reach here compared to what I had on Twitter, but shame on those corporate sponsors who pulled out of the SF Pride Parade this year. Fucking cowards.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Hi #impsci friends! Last fall we re-launched our website with a fresh design and new features like the Equity Check for each step on the Research Pathway.

Have you used this feature? Any feedback for us? To explore, begin at Step 1: bit.ly/2VPyJEu. Imgs show Equity Checks for Steps 1 & 2 (of 8):

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

The first rule in fighting tyranny is to never capitulate in advance. You broke that rule. You are not up to the moment as a leader.
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Schumer is a quisling.
There's more from fed workers in the piece, and I keep hearing from others. Such as:

"Chuck Schumer is a coward who betrayed federal workers after deliberately taunting us for a week with the hope that someone in power gave a single shit about us."
"I don’t get paid if there’s a shutdown but shutting the government down and putting up a fight is preferable to giving in."

"Every single one of my colleagues supports a shutdow."

"Everyone I know in my office was hoping the Dems would grow a spine and shut the government down."

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

Yes! Every Democrat should be standing up and shouting this, not caving in out of fear of being blamed for a shutdown. Grow a spine, Dems!
AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”
Great News For Us, Awful News for Trump
Onward.

Millionaires stop paying into Social Security today.

That’s because they've now made $176,100, and hit the contributions cap.

Billionaires made that much about an hour into the year.

Elon Musk did in just 15 minutes.

Tax the rich. Scrap the cap.

We need to organize--let’s help each other.

NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond.

I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations.

Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

Proud to stand up for science! And proud of my UW colleagues for speaking up today. And the Gov too.
