If you've been wondering "what's next?" after Saturday's No Kings protest... the organizers have shared a whole slate of next steps we can take, in order to build a durable movement to protect democracy and our communities through our everyday actions #NoKings 👉 www.nokings.org/next
I am excited to share that @standupforscience.bsky.social is growing! We are looking to hire several positions including: - Event and volunteer coordination - Copywriting (press releases, emails, website, blogs, some social media) - Data analytics and research (marketing, not science 😉) 🧵
No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

As a part of the @standupforscience.bsky.social Summer Fight for Science campaign, we want to host 1000 teach ins across the US between now and Sept 30th. Yeah, it’s a big, hairy, audacious goal. I know. Here is a running list of ideas, please scoop and do! 🧵🪡
Hi! Do you want to rip your face off over the constant attacks on science in the US? Here are some actions you can take! They require varying amounts of time, repetitiveness, and sticking your neck out, so hopefully you can find something in here that’s right for you: 🧪 #scicomm
I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
Trying to understand whether, why, when, and how to take a public stand? It's scary, and difficulty — particularly the how part. I found @philipncohen.com's recent book extremely useful in this regard, for social scientists and natural scientists alike. cup.columbia.edu/book/citizen...

To your question about my supposed fear of change: I am not afraid of change or sociotechnical innovation. What I am afraid of is how change and innovation take place under the conditions set by capitalism and a variety of other oppressive structures which developers refuse to recognize as salient.
If you want to dip your toes into @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social’s op-ed writing initiative, you could try writing Letters to the Editor to your local papers (~150-200 word short pieces) on timely issues that matter to you! Here’s an example of an LTE on academic freedom from me
Small colleges have taken the lead -- but they are now joined by 6 of 8 Ivies: Cornell, Penn, Princeton, Yale, Brown, and -- yes -- Harvard. And, finally, by a handful of big publics: U. of Washington, Wisconsin, Rutgers, SUNY Buffalo and Stony Brook, UC Riverside, UVa, UMD.
