Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Hey! Have you called or emailed your reps today? I am enraged by the new EO titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling” - if you are too here’s something you could copy and edit to send to your reps:

Please do not assume that because an executive order will probably be blocked, harm won’t be done.

Harm is coming out of just the RHETORIC spread by the Trump administration. The base is riled. Entire groups of people are dehumanized.

Writing to my reps about this vile order this morning. Mrs.Frazzled said “within 90 days, this EO will birth an ‘Ending Indoctrination Strategy’ that will gut federal funding for any school where teachers/staff acknowledge students for the humans they are- with investigations to ensure compliance”
The executive order claims to defend 'parental rights' but ignores the rights of parents who fully accept their children for who they are.

They are ignoring every single person's rights who isn't white and cis.

This is state-sanctioned indoctrination.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Destruction of science and academia is central to the fascist and neoliberal right's assault on democracy. Just so we are clear as to what is happening.

May we, like Fredegar Bolger, ‘decide what to do with the time that is given us’. May we find ‘deeds within our measure’ whenever life asks it of us and—more importantly—have the courage to act upon them. #tolkien #lordoftherings

Withdrawing US funding from the World Health Organization is a potential disaster for public health worldwide, due to the impact it will have on the important work the WHO does. Preventing the CDC from even *talking* with WHO personnel is a step much farther toward undermining global health & safety
CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal
U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

The US Air Force has removed a course that included videos of the Tuskegee airmen and female WWII pilots as per a new executive order from the President
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American flying unit in the U.S. military.

Altogether, 992 pilots graduated from the Tuskegee Air Field courses, and they flew 1,578 missions and 15,533 sorties, destroyed 261 enemy aircraft, and won more than 850 medals.

On a separate but related note, this is technically a graphic novel for kids, but adults could definitely benefit from this book as well. Thumbs up from both kids and adults (the adult is me) 👍🏼 I got it from our library but I’m ordering a copy from our local bookshop
