You should be angry and frightened by this. The admin is defying the will of Congress and the voters by destroying our ability to do scientific research. This is killing the future of our economy.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

RFK Jr.’s anti-vax mindset has always been a symptom of all-encompassing ignorance about and even hatred of legitimate science. We all now have front row seats to the damage he will wreak on the people of the United States.
Post from 8 months ago that says. 

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD @elizabethj... • 8mo
I'm disgusted by all of the "RFK Jr. might ashually have good ideas except for vaccines" hot takes. Being an anti-vaxxer is disqualifying for any leadership role related to healthcare, because it is the hallmark of a person who doesn't understand science and is possessed of gargantuan arrogance.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)
NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.
