📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers. ➡️ Full story: propub.li/3LjuAVS

Ugh. That is all.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court, via the shadow docket, has greenlighted the DOGE mass firings. From us at NIH: The Supreme Court is an arm of Trump and Republican Party. It is not a court, but a political body. And it must be disempowered if we want functional science in the US. 🧪

Exactly why is it a good idea to stop vaccination and let younger people get sick, miss work, get long COVID? Like abortion, my body, my choice - oh sorry, that's only injecting bleach and taking ivermectin. Silly me. 🧪 theconversation.com/fda-will-app...

Watch the tree that's visible just to the left of the right side of the gate ... And then watch again and pay attention to the ground on the other side of the fence on the right.

New research reveals that much of the spring runoff in the Western U.S. is not from recent snowmelt but from snow that fell 3–15 years ago. This challenges existing water models and has significant implications for water management. #Hydrology #Groundwater #WaterResources #ClimateScience 🧪⚒️

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & crush dissent. It’s a blatant attempt to bully & intimidate anyone who dares to think differently or stand up to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.

This is the person leading our nation's health policy organization. We're doomed to hell (or something like that)

This Republican administration is hell bent on dragging America back to medieval times 🤦🧪🦠

changes include additions stating there were “discrepancies” in 2020 election results including “sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters and unprecedented contradiction of ‘bellwether county’ trends.”

There’s an old Soviet Venus probe “Cosmos 482” (They only gave them Venera #s after they were successful), launched in 1972, which will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere in a few weeks!? Designed to withstand Venus entry will it survive to Earth’s surface? 🧪🔭 sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2025/04/kosm...

Please watch and, in particular, share this with non-scientists. Researchers are more than aware of the damage that is being done to the NIH, but many in the public simply aren’t aware of its importance. This 60 Minutes piece can help with that. 🧪 #AcademicSky

🧪Holy shit. The Covid.gov website directs to the WH website claiming that covid came from a lab leak. And they are blaming Anthony Fauci. And calling the NIH a failure. I am utterly speechless. Anti-science propaganda running its wheels in real time.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court. Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.

Watch as a herd of elephants at the San Diego Zoo protect their calves, Mkhaya and Zuli, during a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that shook Southern California. The animals repeated the behavior during an aftershock, but went back to their daily routines when the situation seemed safe. nyti.ms/3Eo2uW8

In "How Democracies Die," Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt wrote that democratic backsliding "begins at the ballot box." Strongmen get democratically elected, then turn institutions into "political weapons, wielded forcefully by those who control them against those who do not."
