There are gatherings all over the country on May 1 to say no to billionaires who are killing jobs and ignoring our constitution. Even as a School Board member, I swore to uphold the U. S. Constitution. US Senator Thom Tillis did too. Why isn’t he standing up for his oath?

Anyone doing this for NEH? The bloodletting there seems extreme but as it doesn’t fit the media love affair with STEM it’s not being covered.
🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨
We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely!

For people reposting stuff about the cancellation of the Big Berks conference, PLEASE read and share this thread, which sets the record straight.
I’m the Director of the Center for Historical Studies at Northwestern and also a gender historian. If I thought for a minute that our administration had cancelled this conference for political reasons I would be complaining, loudly. But this is not an accurate representation of what happened.

I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

The truth is these are not very bright guys...and things got out of hand.
You’d think that the agency’s name—“National Nuclear Security Administration”—might have led someone to at least ask, “Hey, what do these guys do?”
“Sources told CNN the officials did not seem to know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.” 🫣 www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Here is a photo of a trans non-binary biologist (me) holding a bird (Eastern Towhee) that is likely a bilateral gynandromorph-- a fusion of cells with female-type chromosomes and cells with male-type chromosomes in one bird!

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

PSA: you do not have to watch the news tomorrow. You do not have to keep track of everything day 1. This is a marathon not a sprint. Take care of yourself and spend time with friends and family. I'll be out on the slopes wfh my partner enjoying nature. They can't take our joy, I won't let them.
