I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

I truly believe today is the lowest point in American history.
And the terrifying thing is, I don't think we're going anywhere but down—unless We The People decide we will not.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny.
But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security.
