I’ve met this woman and she is a powerhouse of empathy and caring. She is also one hell of a leader and has done great things for her agency. This is bigotry and bullying. Nothing else.

How do some science journals charge $2500 to $5000 to publish research articles? We scientists need to rethink our article publishing pay structures.

This is not okay.
Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

I’m seeing numbers for the Oct 18th No Kings at around 7 million people in the USA. That is 2% of the total USA population! 2% out there together standing for democracy. That doesn’t include all the people supporting the protests that weren’t able to make it or who drove by and honked horns. Huge!

I shouldn’t be laughing at this. But I can’t help it. The hypocrisy is too much. We are the human traffickers with ICE and deportation to foreign countries.

Anyone heard anything about Disney Stocks? Lots of people were cancelling subscriptions and cruises over the weekend. Fingers crossed that our collective purchase power is powerful.
