Good morning, friends! ☀️

For Public Health Awareness Week, today’s focus is on chronic disease and cancer.

But before you head out the door, don’t forget to greenify yourself! 🌱💪

Call to action: Veterans March in DC on March 14. If you know a vet or active service member talk to them about the danger of the Trump regime and encourage them to participate.

Great article on boycotting. Do what you can. Check out @teslatakedown.com for locations this weekend. And no hate to tesla owners unless it’s new and/or a cyberstuck

Over on Whatever today, I've written a longish piece on billionaires and boycotts, how boycotts are effective (and are not), what to do when you don't feel you can boycott, and what to say when someone is telling you that you're not doing it right:

Local politics can be very receptive to public voices. Few people ever just show up at meetings. Showing up is how a minority of minority (maga) took over so many local positions. And showing up and speaking out is how we take back that power.
Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.

The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!

This is the power of representation.

people nationwide need to study what's happening in Montana to protect trans kids and their families
And it happens again!

SEVERAL Republicans cross the aisle, vote against a bill that would remove trans kids from their parents.

They do so even after another Republican threatens them with primaries.

29 Republicans flip this time!

It’s impossible to overstate how much damage Trump/Elon/Vought/RFKJ are doing to science in America.

We need everyone who can to show up and demand action to save scientific research in this country.

Scientists are trained to question everything which is why fascists always target them first.
WHERE WILL YOU BE ON MARCH 7TH!?

Head to www.standupforscience2025.org/local-event-information/ or the link in our bio to find your closest event—or add one if you're hosting one!
