On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

I'm so scared of cities. All those buildings so close to each other. You can go to the movie theater and a restaurant and the park while walking, in defiance of God. There are people you haven't met before. Sometimes there's a dog in a jacket

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

I am sincerely moved by Sen. Van Hollen. Sometimes Members of Congress do stuff that is brave. I didn’t say this while he was there, but it kind of reminded me of Rep. Leo Ryan in 1978.
We need more MOCs to show the same spine for their constituents. We do NOT accept our neighbors being disappeared

A game of chess. Two players sit down to play. One is overconfident, making reckless moves without thinking. Losses pile up, but patterns emerge. The quiet one begins to shift the tide, slowly, deliberately. The bold one grows restless. Control slips. Fury takes its place. And so,

Maybe I’m biased because I’ve dedicated over a third of my life to learning about and working in the wildlife field, but I simply don’t understand how anyone could possibly support this. Don’t most children have an inherent appreciation for nature and wildlife? When do people lose that and why?
The Act prohibits actions that “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect” endangered species. Right now, “harm” includes damage to a species’ habitat—but the Trump administration is attempting to strip habitat destruction from that definition.

The Trump administration proposed a rollback of federal protections for endangered species. A draft rule from the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) seeks to eliminate the current interpretation of “harm” under the Endangered Species Act.

Of course the first thing he cares about is taxes. This rhetoric is incredibly dangerous and makes autism seem like it is a plague on society or a scary disease. Autism is on a SPECTRUM. I'm diagnosed autistic and very close to getting a PhD. I pay taxes, buddy.
