@defendresearch.bsky.socialICE sent agents after a man for criticizing one of their officials. A judge shut it down. The First Amendment protects dissent even when the Trump administration hates it.

Medical professionals that make excuses for why they can't call Junior a "brain worm addled moron" are not taking the lethal danger of right wing pseudoscience seriously.

Again, professionals doing what's never been shown to work, refusing to debunk lies and instead smile a lot and get them to like you. Frustrating. Done against anti-abortion as well.

@researchconsulting.bsky.socialConcern about research censorship isn’t enough.
That’s why we’re working with #DefendResearch to build evidence of its impact, starting with public health and epidemiology.
We’ll share early findings at a webinar on 15 September. Find out why we’re involved and how you can help: buff.ly/mA42OgK

Odd that no one points out that being MAGA does not give one superior science knowledge and analytical skills. The accusations and conspiracy theories are all MAGA lies.
