RALLY! GET THE 🦆 OUTTA HERE! 📍GWU Lisner Auditorium ⏰Monday, November 17th. Bobby "The Quack" Jr. will be on GW's campus, and so will we! We will be rallying with @christopherstreet.bsky.social outside his fireside chat and standing against his anti-science BS! @50501movement.bsky.social
A bold, colorful protest flyer with a ransom-note collage style. At the top, a bright yellow banner reads “RAPID RESPONSE RALLY!” Below it, large cut-out letters say “GET THE Duck OUTTA HERE, R f k j r!” The background is crumpled white paper. On the right side is a tinted green-and-blue cutout photo of an older man in a suit shouting with his hand raised; his face is not identified. A yellow biohazard warning symbol is placed over his chest. The flyer text announces a rally opposing an anti-science agenda, listing speakers Ian Morgan, Jenna Norton, and Tyler Hack. The bottom yellow bar states: “11.17 @ 6:30PM GWU Lisner Auditorium.” Logos for Stand Up for Science and the Christopher Street Project appear along the bottom.

Let's recap. This May, the Trump administration established "Gold Standard Science," using the language of scientific integrity and openness to empower political appointees like RFK Jr. to override scientists debunking Trump's dogma around science — from climate change to vaccines. #impeachthequack
5 Slides with info: 1/ Fools Gold standard science, what does it mean? 2/ In May, the Trump administration issued an executive order “Restoring Gold Standard Science.” Political appointees are empowered to designate any research as scientific misconduct based on their own “judgment” and includes the power to punish the scientists involved accordingly  This executive order allows political appointees to sit in judgement of science and scientists, with government as a weapon.5 Slides with info: 1/ Fools Gold standard science, what does it mean? 2/ In May, the Trump administration issued an executive order “Restoring Gold Standard Science.” Political appointees are empowered to designate any research as scientific misconduct based on their own “judgment” and includes the power to punish the scientists involved accordingly  This executive order allows political appointees to sit in judgement of science and scientists, with government as a weapon.5 Slides with info: 1/ Fools Gold standard science, what does it mean? 2/ In May, the Trump administration issued an executive order “Restoring Gold Standard Science.” Political appointees are empowered to designate any research as scientific misconduct based on their own “judgment” and includes the power to punish the scientists involved accordingly  This executive order allows political appointees to sit in judgement of science and scientists, with government as a weapon.5 Slides with info: 1/ Fools Gold standard science, what does it mean? 2/ In May, the Trump administration issued an executive order “Restoring Gold Standard Science.” Political appointees are empowered to designate any research as scientific misconduct based on their own “judgment” and includes the power to punish the scientists involved accordingly  This executive order allows political appointees to sit in judgement of science and scientists, with government as a weapon.

Climate change is fueling catastrophic floods, but Trump's administration is cutting the tools we need to fight back. NOAA labs, NASA satellites, FEMA grants & local warning systems are on the chopping block. Result? Communities will be caught unprepared when disaster strikes. zurl.co/vUw4Z

Why Texas’ floods are a warning for the rest of the country
The disaster that unfolded in Kerr County, Texas, shows how many communities will struggle to prepare for extreme weather as the federal government pulls back.
