to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

If you are looking for a way to support the STEM equity community in light of the funding cuts, please consider donating to the Access Network. This group is amazing. The funds will be used to host the annual network gathering that was being planned by a wonderful group of students.
The grant funding our beloved Access Network was one of the many awards terminated by NSF. We've secured some university support to minimize the impact on students, but we are crowdfunding our annual Assembly! www.gofundme.com/f/ympbzf-wef...

An amazing rally. We are the 99%!!
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We all knew that attacking trans people doesn’t defend women but I think it’s important to highlight how brazen the lie is, that in fact attacking trans women is becoming a vehicle for attacking all women, as trans women said it would be.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
