This thread says that we have opportunity. We have agency. The people who work to exploit and control will not always be in power. It will be up to those good people to take control from those who seek to exploit and control and rebuild. There are so many good people. Build something good.

For those evicted by FEMA, Mar-a-Lago has invited you to camp out on the front lawn. The owner is known for his charity for those in dire straits.

PSA: Put your damned phone down while driving.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Very disconcerting news. 🧪

Is it too soon to point out that guns and heinous murderers have more rights than those injured and killed? It is far beyond time to pull our heads out and elect people with common sense who will address the real problems we face. That is all.

Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

And these are largely private prisons/concentration camps which means we are commercializing people's imprisonment and suffering. It also means that because they are private or commercial, then there are ways of finding out who is behind those operations and exerting... pressure (legally) on them.

Gerrymandering would be illegal if the Roberts Supreme Court adhered to our country’s founders intent that elections should be free and fair and have outcomes that reflect the will of the people.

Sadly, this is NOT the first time that the democrats in the Texas legislature have had to resort to this because the the Texas republican party is utterly misguided and corrupt.
Indeed, we have created an economy in this country that only serves corporations and billionaires. Nobody will be working full-time should not be able to afford dental care, eye care, health insurance, food, housing. Nobody working full-time should require government assistance for basic living

Seems self-explanatory…
Elon Musk donated $15 million to Republican and pro-Trump super PACs...in just a single day. That’s roughly 0.00375% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can spend pennies to rig the system in their favor at the expense of everyone else. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Say thank you for all the relentless hard work by expert scientists and federal funding from NIH. NIH has kicked ass for decades. This is NO time to cut NIH funding.
💯 So many amazing and dedicated people lost their jobs today, to the detriment of us all. America is weaker today than it was before.
The NIH’s 2024 budget of just under $37B generated $95B in economic activity in 2024 alone. 99.4% of new pharmaceuticals approved from 2010-2019 came from NIH-funded research. I’m hard pressed to think of anything that generates as much direct economic benefit as our NIH did before they destroyed it

Past time to remove this chronic embarrassment from office.
When you strip away humanity
When you find out you can't pay your utility bill in August, remember that Trump is golfing in Scotland for a week on $10 million of your taxpayer money. He has chalked up $220 million to play golf in the first 6 months of his administration. That money came from you and me.

We’ve been hearing this BS from this mouthpiece since before the election. Its all lies.
Philanthropy has helped labs survive in an unprecedented period of thin scientific support. It has also helped labs pivot to new areas of investigation. I am grateful for the philanthropic support for my lab. However the best way to find science is through robust taxpayer funded mechanisms.

Given the challenges our nation faces, it is appalling that the people in charge of our government would waste so much of our tax dollars this way. These people are not competent to serve.

Gerrymandering of districts is wrong. Period. Regardless of the garbage anti-democracy rulings we’ve seen from the Roberts court and anti-democratic allies. Districts need to be drawn by unbiased mathematical approaches.

Been there. In the end, its good to see those lost moments again.
Trump wants to strip citizenship away from a U.S. citizen who opposes him politically. His April 28th executive order let's his AG target political opponents. His counterterrorism czar said political opponents should be considered domestic terrorists. You see where this is going, right?
