the trump administration is counting on enough people not caring about Ayman soliman’s fate so they can deport him as soon as they can get away with. That is true for an exceedingly large number of people and families, but to make this very simple:

It’s not an exaggeration to say his and others’…

can’t believe after all this time, “guerrilla public education to fight science disinfo” is what finally got me to buy printer cartridges 🖨️
Leave educational microflyers in your community: If you enjoy being an agent of light chaos and engaging in guerilla public education, this is your chance. On our website, you can find miniature flyers (with more to come throughout the summer) that we encourage you to print out and leave wherever you can: public transit, coffee shops, the pharmacy counter, waiting rooms, in the egg display case at your supermarket. Just be stealth about it, like you’ve accidentally left a piece of paper (or several) behind 😉 With these flyers, we have two main goals. Some of the flyers will make people aware of how the American scientific enterprise is currently being dismantled and how these cuts will negatively impact their lives. Other flyers will sow initial seeds of doubt against scientific misinformation and disinformation in a fun, bite-sized way. Research shows that the American public largely trusts scientists, but a lot of people are getting their scientific information from non-scientific sources. Let’s try and change that. A flyer showing a near-perfect correlation between organic food sales and autism diagnoses between 1997 and 2009, with a graph displaying the matched trend lines. The top text reads: “Organic food sales have risen at nearly the exact same rate as autism diagnoses since 1997.” The satirical subtitle asks, “The real cause of increasing autism prevalence?” Below the graph, bold text says: “Organic food doesn’t cause autism. Neither do vaccines.” Footer includes “Stand Up for Science” logo, a QR code, and links to standupforscience.net, 5calls.org, and their Instagram/TikTok handles. A flyer stating that over 99% of prescription drugs approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019 were developed in NIH-funded labs. Emphasizes that publicly funded research keeps families safe and healthy. Includes a bar graph where 99.4% of the visual is blue and 0.6% is red—the red bar labeled “the 0.6% of FDA-approved drugs developed without the assistance of taxpayer funding.” Bold text says: “Trump is cutting the NIH budget by over 50%.” Footer includes the Stand Up for Science logo, QR code, and contact info. A flyer listing technologies made possible by taxpayer-funded NSF research: 3D printing, MRI machines, the internet, The Magic School Bus, kidney transplant matching, and more. Text warns: “Trump wants to cut the NSF budget over 50 percent. The future of American innovation is at stake.” Red “Stand Up for Science” logo appears below, with QR code and contact info for taking action.

Months later, when Mr. Trump hosted a party at Mar-a-Lago for young women in a so-called calendar girl competition, Mr. Epstein was the only other guest, according to George Houraney, a Florida-based businessman who arranged the event. Mr. Houraney recalled being surprised that Mr. Epstein was the only other person on the guest list. “I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s,” Mr. Houraney told The New York Times in 2019. “You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’” Mr. Houraney’s then-girlfriend and business partner, Jill Harth, later accused Mr. Trump of sexual misconduct on the night of the party. In a lawsuit, Ms. Harth said that Mr. Trump took her into a bedroom and forcibly kissed and fondled her, and restrained her from leaving. She also said that a 22-year-old contestant told her that Mr. Trump later that night crawled into her bed uninvited.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

Maybe you've heard the word a few times this week. 

But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic. Watch. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=Jr_pgtBwYmHNvjuj

Death Spiral: Republicans' Medicaid cuts threaten the health care of all Americans-even people on private insurance. 1) Medicaid cuts cause millions to lose health care 2) People without coverage can't pay for the care they need 3) Rural hospitals lose significant revenue 4) Health care workers are laid off, rural hospitals close 5) Entire communities lose health care services

Btw each American Citizen pays roughly $4 per year in taxes to fund the NWS. Pretty sweet deal to get life saving information for less than a cup of coffee per year!

It is the government's responsibility to protect the lives of We The People, whenever possible.

The NWS and NOAA have developed and maintained an effective, lifesaving system. It benefits ALL PEOPLE in the US to continue to fund weather alerts.

The attack must stop!
