Is there anywhere safe online anymore? My FB feed is clogged with news. My YouTube talks of fascism. Bluesky is... well... Bluesky. I miss when my feed had science, history, mental health, pop culture, and media.

We are so darn proud of our fellow federal family and fellow scientists standing up to this administration and its dismantling of anything remotely related to science, any kind of science.

Pleased share this far and wide. And if you support NASA and science consider signing to show your support!
🚨BREAKING NEWS! 🚨

🚀 the Voyager Declaration has LAUNCHED.

NASA employees join a growing rebellion against Trump’s anti-science, anti-American agenda.

Russia is being thoroughly crushed by Anonymous. Glory to Ukraine, glory to Georgia, and glory to the free people of the world. #OpGeorgia #OpRussia

There is obviously way more that’s being done, but that’s best left known between the legion and the orcs. 🤫🤐

They can ban all they like, ban books, ban words, ban identities. Their bans show only their ignorance and hatred.
Their bans illustrate their fear.

Fear of the power held by the beauty of diverse and vibrant peoples.

They can ban, but they can never fully erase books, words, or us.

WARNING: DO NOT FALL FOR THE PROPAGANDA TONIGHT.

Trump’s State of the Union will not be a speech - it will be a test of submission. Fascists flood the public with lies so blatant that people either give in or grow numb. Do not let them break your sense of reality. Stay sharp. Stay defiant.

Good morning ppl! If you remember history, the blitzkrieg failed because they out ran themselves and could not backfill the issues it created. Doge’s “dumbkrieg” is having the same issues. We are beating those fucks down! And yes, I’m coining the word Dumbkrieg. Fucking use it. Mock their asses!

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

Also, scientists, what can you do about all this?
One thing is to get your colleagues on Bluesky - get others on Bluesky. This is one good place to get info about our new politics.

@thestarfishbrigade.bsky.social is my idea born out of years of working to survive, combat adult bullying and hate speech, and exist in a galaxy that is getting harder and harder for those of us with empathy and a strong sense of morality to navigate.
