Headed out. See you at #NoKings #ArlingtonVA

Three hand-painted posters showing Donald Trump above the words, "unfit", "weak," and "fool."

Simple. To the point. #NoKings

Thank you. I think this is going to be a huge problem across government as a generation of workers are lost, along with their institutional experience and commitment to non-partisan service.

Thanks for the cool photo of me and my little sign! bsky.app/profile/stan...

Sign reads "We were mad scientists. Now we're furious."

U.S. flag and sign reading, "Save Our Science"

Sign reads "The assault on science will haunt this country for generations."

Crowd gathered on the National Mall for the March 7, 2026 Stand Up For Science rally.

Heard great speakers at #StandUpForScience in DC. Plenty of resolve to fight this administration, but also very sober about the damage that's been done and the stakes of continuing Trump's policies.

Let's do this. #standupforscience

Sign identifying the Robert F Kennedy Department of Justice Building at 900 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

By the way, this is the Robert F Kennedy Department of Justice Building. Donald Trump continues his disgusting habit of pissing on other people’s memorials.

I really hope they announce when they're going to do it, because I'll bring a Thermos and a lawn chair.

Please don't downplay the damage that DOGE-led staff cuts have caused. After a year and multiple rounds of cuts and incentives, staffing at federal science agencies is significantly reduced. It's a huge brain drain that hurts US science. From nature.com

Send us your voter rolls if you want us to withdraw our murderous, secret police, is a hell of a thing to write down on paper in a democracy.

You can draw a line between this event in August and the shooting in Minneapolis. In one, an agent reacted to bystanders by declaring “Liberals already ruined [the country].” Last week, we heard the attack on Renee Good punctuated by the words “Fucking bitch.” Showing grievance in both cases.

And you can decide what you think of people based on their answers.

The Supreme Court can get things wrong, and does. However this shouldn’t change how we each think about right and wrong. You can still look your fellow Americans in the eye and ask, do you think America should be a place where citizens are stopped and asked to prove their citizenship?

Handmade sign resembling the Washington DC flag, with the words "Free DC"

An American flag flown upside-down above a banner reading, "The Bondi order is unlawful. You are not obligated to follow it."

"Don't use DC to distract from your crimes Trump. Release the Epstein files."

"DC, home of Go-Go, says Bondi pick is NO GO!"

Before today's hearing that resulted in the DC chief retaining control of the city police, I joined a rally organized by @freedcproject.bsky.social outside police headquarters at Judiciary Square. People are angry, and willing to fight Trump's power grab so it won't spread to other cities. #freedc

It's grim. See page 105. The academic research fleet gets a 40% cut. Not sure about NDSF. Also just stunning to see all the postdoc programs zeroed out (page 28). nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

Why I’m Resigning from the NSF and Library of Congress I cannot participate in systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging.

This account by Dr. Nelson is thorough and damning, describing changes in processes and attitudes once DOGE arrived at the National Science Foundation. Scientific freedom is under attack from political actors asserting control at NSF. time.com/7285045/resi...

Trump, Pressed on Qatari Jet, Says Only ‘Stupid’ People Reject Gifts

What you tolerate is what will continue. Trump’s will grab as much as he can for himself – luxury planes, tributes paid in crypto, real estate deals for his companies – while stripping the country of public goods that Americans have paid for. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

Sign reading, where are the checks and balances we were promised?

Sign reading, hands off our due process.

Sign held up in front of the Washington Monument, reading, I'm a veteran, not a sucker or a loser

People are frustrated and angry, but the crowd wasn't angry. Standing among tens of thousands of people at #HandsOff in DC, there was tremendous goodwill. Also felt completely safe. Don't let anyone tell you these protest movements are lawless or violent.

Listen to Sen Cory Booker rip into anyone who voted for the CR!

He’s pledged to hold the floor tonight for as long as possible.

Let’s lift him up and show him support as he gets in good trouble!

View from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial over the refflecting pool toward the Washington Monument. A crowd of several thousand lines the pool attending the Stand Up for Science 2025 rally.

A person dressed as "Beaker" from the Muppet Show holds a "Stand Up for Science" rally sign on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

A man wearing a NOAA jacket holds a sign reading, "Science Facts, MAGA Fiction."

A man wearing a coat and red scarf holds a sign that reads, "Public science funding is an investment!"

Thousands of people joined the #standupforscience2025 at the Lincoln Memorial in DC to hear scientists, cancer survivors, former agency heads, and union leaders. The mood was joyful and resolved. The science community knows the facts are on their side. They’ve faced skeptics and deniers before.

Was just discussing this. There's no measure for success. If you wrote 10 reports this week, is that enough or too few, and who says? What if next week, it's only 5? Goodbye.

What if you made up a bunch of gobbledygook jargon, arranged it in five bullets, and nobody noticed?

The way this went down was horrible. @beyer.house.gov has called the probation extensions illegal.

They could try "I don't have the authority to mass fire these workers without cause and neither do you"
