📣 OFFICIAL STATEMENT from our Founder & Executive Director @cdelawalla.bsky.social on the unfolding situation at the #EPA.

Stand with the brave EPAers here➡️ act.standupforscience.net/forms/epa-ad...

#DeclarationofDissent
A graphic from “Stand Up for Science” with a black background and white and red text. The top features the “Stand Up for Science” logo. The heading reads “Official Statement –” followed by a quote: “All we know is that Administrator Lee Zeldin made the following statement to the Daily Caller:” Below is a block quote attributed to Zeldin: ‘Unfortunately, a small number of employees signed onto a public letter, written as agency employees, using their official work title, that was riddled with misinformation regarding agency business.’ Below the quote, bold white and red text says: “This was not just a public letter – it was emailed to him by employees at the EPA on Monday morning, and published after it was sent to him.” In the bottom right corner, red italicized text reads “More on next page” with a red arrow pointing right. A continuation of the graphic with a black background and white and red text. The paragraph reads: “he has not formally responded to his employees, and they have been placed on administrative leave. Though we are still gathering information on this situation, we condemn these actions. These are dedicated civil servants whose career goal is to keep Americans safe.” This is followed by the name and title: – Colette Delawalla, Founder & Executive Director At the bottom, the red and white “Stand Up for Science” logo appears again.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

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

Excellent & disturbing Jill Lepore piece about the family origins of Musk’s ideas: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/o...
Opinion | The Rise and Fall of Elon Musk
His belief that liberal democracy has failed and that technologists should lead can be traced to the unusual life of his grandfather.

The irony that the phones that allowed the haters to bring us Signalgate would not exist but for the incredible contributions of Lynn Conway -- as UMich puts it "chip design pioneer and transgender-rights advocate". news.engin.umich.edu/2024/06/the-...

If Trump is claiming we’re at war to justify his fascist policies, he should be prosecuted as a war criminal.

Can we stop calling Musk's minions "engineers"? Engineers are (or should be) trained to design and test systems, guard against unexpected failures, and consider impact on society. Let's rechristen the Musketeers: DOGE's Short-sighted, Hubristic, Ignorant, Tech-bros -- "DOGe SHIT" for short.
