Why should I spend my time phone banking on the SUFS Aftyn campaign?

1. The numbers for a win are there! We have to get out the vote.

2. Calling works!

3. Putting out the science X democracy fire requires us to take back Congress. This gets us one seat closer to 218.

4. IT IS A WINNABLE RACE!
TAKE ACTION! Hit the phones with us on Saturday and Sunday for @aftynbehn4tn, and help bring sanity back to science policy. Sign up at zurl.co/5aOiP (linked in our bio) to get started. All you need is a phone and a zeal for action!

All of America is watching. Tennessee has a chance to set the example — it's time to fight for science and sanity in Congress! On election eve, join us for a phonebank with Rep. Kelly Morrison to talk to voters in support of Aftyn Behn.

It's the final stretch! Sign up at tr.ee/final-sprint

Now, it's time for justice for workers at the EPA, NIH, USDA and more who have faced harassment and retaliation for taking a stand with truth, science, and the American people!

BREAKING: The DHS walks back its retaliation against the suspended #fema36 signatories of the Katrina Declaration. We are proud of these public servants for speaking up and continue to rally behind all patriots using their rights to call out the Trump admin's dangerous policies.

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

FEMA has ordered a group of employees to return to work after placing them on leave in August — and later dismissing one — for publicly raising concerns about the agency’s disaster-response capabilities.

We've been holding onto some big news. Early in the week of Nov 17, a #KatrinaDeclaration signer who was on administrative leave was suddenly terminated.The rest of the public signers spent the week on pins and needles.

This is the most important op-ed you'll read this week. The Trump administration is about to get rid of the birth-dose of hepatitis B vaccine. That is a deadly choice for many families. @helenouyang.bsky.social tells her story. Now call your member of Congress. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

So apparently pro-Behn ads are running on Grindr in TN07 with a high click through rate paid by Stand Up for Science

I have *so much* to say about this whole thing, but I leave you with this:

I just think it’s funny how the “these blue haired woke snowflakes give out participation grades for anything” people are suddenly raging that this shit paper that FAILED TO FOLLOW BASIC INSTRUCTIONS wasn’t given an A+.

To be clear, the assignment was to evaluate a *scientific research paper* on gender stereotypes in a scientific manner. Apart from the bad writing—I would give feedback to visit the writing center if I received this paper—to the instructor’s points, this isn’t scientific engagement…at all.

Excited to be on the ground in TN-07 with a team of @standupforscience.bsky.social volunteers canvassing for Aftyn Behn!

We spent our time off the beaten path, in the neighborhoods of Robertson County! A cold day with a very warm reception!
