The same people who're psyched about "de-extinction" of the dire wolf [false] were outraged over "transgender" mice [transgenic]. And here we are continuing to defund science education and research. 🙄

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

1. We have entered a new era where states are suing corporations for selling pride merchandise, arguing they should know that bigotry would hurt their bottom line.

Florida has now sued Target for selling rainbow merchandise.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

"Beyond the incorrect claim that science backs up a simple binary definition of sex, the lived experience of people clearly demonstrates that the genetic composition at conception does not define one's identity. Rather, sex and gender result from the interplay of genetics and environment."

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community.

No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality.

If you’re a blue state legislator wondering how you can protect trans people right now, allowing birth certificates to be changed without listing them as “amended” so that we can still get passports is high on the list.

On top of shutting down the govt, an executive order was signed yesterday for a national under-19 trans care ban - no blockers, cross hormones, etc. NINETEEN!! It names gender-affirming care "chemical and surgical mutilation." This is a misinformed and hateful attack on already marginalized people.

This is a wonderful resource I've been using for years to make my bio principles, cell bio, and genetics labs more inclusive. This will be particularly important in the current climate where trans and nonbinary students feel marginalized and fearful. Please share with science / bio teachers & profs!
