ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible.
We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.

We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

What happened in Minneapolis today was absolutely horrific.
ICE is not making our communities safer — they are putting innocent lives in harm’s way. We must put a stop to this.

DOGE was nothing short of a catastrophic failure, taking a wrecking ball to everything from cancer research to lifesaving humanitarian aid that will almost certainly lead to millions of preventable deaths.

Same here. Half our income. Bills going late or partially-paid. My spouse still having to work (and work OVERTIME) for no money.
And we were happy to muddle through, because the cause was worth it.
Absolutely disgusted with Senate Dems.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
