🚨NEW: Donald Trump has called for the arrest Senator Mark Kelly after he encouraged the military to not take illegal orders from Trump. Kelly is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran.
RETWEET if you stand with
@CaptMarkKelly against Donald Trump!
Needs to be addressed. Let's get behind this.

GOP Senators voted for a slew of unqualified, dangerous cabinet members out of fear of reprisals from Trump. They have put our country in peril on so many fronts. History will not be kind to the cowardice they showed in knowingly confirming these clowns.
.@SenBillCassidy, I hold you personally responsible. You had the chance to stand up for evidence-based medicine and public health by blocking the confirmation of @SecKennedy. You failed your country and your profession.

Like all authoritarians, Trump doesn’t like criticism or objective reporting. He just wants flattery. That’s why he wants to defund NPR and PBS.
We need media in this country that is not owned by billionaires and corporate interests.
I will vote to support public broadcasting.

Donald Trump wants to GUT already approved funds for public media like Sesame Street, NPR, and your local stations.
If he gets away with this, next time he’ll going after your community’s funding for education, housing, climate, you name it.
We've got to sound the alarm.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Garcia’s case on TV, he can do it in court.
Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, and then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury.
This lawless administration must be subjected to rule of law.
RT IF YOU AGREE.

We need #fairmaps. We believe the current court will give the litigants a fair hearing, although the outcome is of course unsure. That seems a better process than trusting Robin Vos. 17/x

Just finished Why we Teach Science (and Why we Should) by @JLRudolph . A brilliant book, providing a clear argument about why we need to reconceptualize science teaching in schools. This is a must-read for any science teacher and science educator!
This looks great @KampourakisK ! Can't wait to read it.
My Mendel book in production! Although a bit more expensive than what I would have wanted, it contains 62 historical photos (some in color), and provides the full argument against teaching Mendelian genetics is schools:
