Many will endure hardships. For me (and committed colleagues), it means the struggle to defend science + counter antiscience forces becomes more complicated/daunting. This time we’ll need better support from the societies, college presidents, elected leaders who care. Tough times

Truly do not understand how many liberals cannot put together that normalizing conservative views, believe it or not…strengthens conservatives!

Despite all the chatter, Trump didn't really gain with black voters nationwide: 86% Harris, 12% Trump. Unchanged from 2020 when 87% of black voters went for Biden, 12% went for Trump. Black men? Static. 78-20% in 2024, 79-19% in 2020.

I really need to know how a dude who explicitly told people they didn’t need to vote won a supposedly record breaking turnout election. What did he know that we didn’t??

We will stop Trump’s dangerous attacks. We will shift what’s politically possible. And we will transform the Democratic Party into a fighting force that can defeat Trumpism and win a Green New Deal. Join us tonight to talk about our plan for how to do it: smvmt.org/dayafter

They're all sucking up to Dear Leader because they see the opportunity for even more capital consolidation now. No more Lina Khans to get in the way as the centi-billionaires become trillionaires.

All of you folks who said Israel has a ‘right to defend itself,’ all of you people who said ‘But Hamas!’ in response to anything and everything, all of you who backed this stuff, this is on you, and the blood of these babies is on your hands. History will not forgive or forget.
