Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Sooooo if this whole "biological sex" EO is really happening, biologists are going to make as much noise about it as possible, right?
Professional societies, universities, individual research groups? It's really incumbent on us (that's a "biologists us" here) to make a BIG FUCKING STINK

The person who supposedly “assaulted Nancy Mace” was just a foster youth advocate who literally did nothing more than shake her hand.

#agu24 being in DC this year was important. I ended up randomly speaking with someone from the EPA who had survived Trump 1.0 AND then someone from Labor who had done the same. We need to stop clutching pearls and just get on with the democratic experiment. Science is as relevant as we make it.

Too bad there aren't more earth scientists in the DC Capitol Building. Such a small but deeply respectful way to value all people -- even us transfolk -- thank you #agu24 for always having my transgender earth scientist back!

A lot of academics (myself included) are activists. Studying something horrible (you know, like climate change or gender inequality) and wanting to make it less horrible doesn’t mean your work is compromised — it just means you give a shit. Empathy is a key scholarly skill. IMHO.

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social can you please, please stop with the pictures of Elon as a woman and feminizing his name as an insult??? It’s extremely misogynistic and it normalizes misgendering. It has actual consequences for some of us. Other trans users should amplify this message as well.

Can we have a conversation about what actions can happen NOW to address rampant transphobia? To stand with trans women while they bravely lead (as usual)? Science is clear that biology has nothing to do with this. Leftists are clear that this is a civil rights fight. Where is the action?????

New definition of "progressive tax" -- when someone triggered by your political signs puts a piece of wood with nails sticking up in your driveway and pops all the left-side tires of your household's cars. Do they know that they have now just made us get all new tires which are safer in snow? Hmmm.

I stood by while heinous attacks on me and my community were ignored by the Democratic machine. And in return I get blamed for their loss? As a trans person may I remind all those who need that reminder (Podsavers, Bulwark, etc.) that protecting my civil rights isn't optional in a true democracy?

When Republicans hate on trans people and our rights it is NOT a "distraction." Please be aware that it is a clear projection of what is to come for everyone once they enact their agenda. Not directly responding to trans hate and the denial of our civil rights is a huge political and moral mistake.
