The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

The termination of COVID-19 research is a “real slap in the face of the many patients struggling with the long-term health effects of COVID infections”, says Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

My new favorite account 🤘🤩🎸🥁
AC/DC. “Whole Lotta Rosie.” 1979. An incredible moment — the band happy to step back and let Angus Young take the floor, while still feeding him the energy he needs. And then, when Bon Scott ‘interrupts’ w/ the chorus reprisal, Angus just uses it as a springboard to launch into space. This is magic.

"Trump and Musk want kids with cancer to die" is maybe the absolute pinnacle example of "it would all be very unpopular if we could convince people it was happening."
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
