Just in from two SF No Kings events (Ocean Beach and then a colossal march and rally downtown). So many good signs, so much devotion to justice, liberty, human rights, and Jesus lord the one part of the US economy that must be booming right now: INFLATABLE critter costumes.
This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

I think it's time for us to view Kennedy's actions as an attack not just on our public health but the country itself. He's an incredible monster.

Because of DOGE, the Trump Administration is going to spend $130,000 to burn $800,000 of food that USAID intended for starving children overseas but couldn't deliver due to the massive cuts to staff and services.

DOGE isn't eliminating waste; they're literally creating it.

So an armed force of unidentified people with a near limitless budget are going to round randomly-selected people up outside of due process, force them into camps, and (potentially) rent out their labour for profit. There are words for this.

See this for what it is.

An authoritarian regime and its secret police are targeting political enemies and marginalized people they have vilified and dehumanized.

We're in it, folks. Deep, deep in it. Fascism. Stop dancing around it. Stop playing games. Give up all remaining denial. We're in it.

If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

On the week that Trump said that Russia's increased bombing of Ukraine are 'what anyone would do,' John Heywood takes a look at what constitutes genocide, and how this is represented in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Whether the Russian invasion of Ukraine will ever be recognised as an act of genocide or proven as war crimes is unknown

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨

I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates
It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates
