I will not join my colleagues in advancing hateful legislation that targets LGBTQIA+ children. These kids aren’t hurting anyone and as an educator I will use all of my time, energy, agency and advocacy to ensure that every student feels included and protected in school.

The general public does not seem to know or sometimes even care that the research institutes that do things like cure cancers and prevent environmental disasters and help us understand how our bodies work are being dismantled. Tell a friend about the impact of NSF and NIH-funded research.
Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.

This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

🚨 Data.gov appears to be dropping datasets 🚨

Almost 2,300 datasets have disappeared since Jan 21.

Data scrubbing at this rate is concerning- download and archive what you think you’ll need.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This is my cousin Joe. He is, and always will be, a hero.
This man, Joseph John Pansarasa, my husband’s uncle, was Killed In Action on the bloodiest day of WWII, 23 May 1944, by Nazis at Anzio, Italy. Our family still grieves his loss. We certainly do not elevate or celebrate those who excuse the worst sadistic atrocities perpetrated by Nazis then and now.

I really don't know what I'm going to use this platform for, since I don't particularly enjoy communicating out to the void to people I may not know, but I also really need to get my algorithm here a little more customized somehow because right now it's literally all just pictures of cats.
