This is a place for transgender people in or considering STEM to connect and find representation. It’s a place to discuss science and find mentors. #TransInSTEM

BREAKING: EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS. Senator Mark Kelly just completely torched Donald Trump: "When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head."

FEDERAL WORKERS FIRED BY ELON/TRUMP/DOGE: “We’re not deep state actors. We’re not federal bureaucrats. I’m a veteran who wants to help veterans. We join the civil service to help others and serve our country.”

Here’s what I want from society as a trans person: ✅ the right to exist freely without laws that interfere with that right ✅ gold standard gender affirming healthcare ✅ to be left the fuck alone

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

Can a single Trump supporter tell me why cutting Alzheimer's research is good
Early this morning, I offered an amendment to increase funding and prevent any cuts to Alzheimer's research at the NIH. Republicans blocked it.

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/41jRwd1

Lawyers for the government argued yesterday that the cap on NIH indirect costs would not cause “irreparable harm,”- Tell that to the grad students who would have been admitted at these places and the labs they would have joined! H/T @kyledcheney docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

Just heard that Vanderbilt rescinded all of its PhD offers because of NIH and NSF funding cuts and that Washington University St Louis is claiming that the STEM fields fund all the other depts and will be looking at cutting arts, etc.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
