After much thought, I’m leaving X! I believe in science that is apolitical, equitable, inclusive—and in everyone having a voice, regardless of status or identity. You can find me at scienceisglobal.bsky.social

BREAKING: In a 9-0 decision, the US Supreme Court just ruled that the Trump Administration must facilitate the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from prison in El Salvador! That’s right! Every Justice agreed that his actions were wrong: “The Government’s argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U. S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.“
BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court will require the Trump Administration to "facilitate" the release of immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the prison in El Salvador. "The order properly requires the Government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release form custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. " THE CONSTITUTION MATTERS!

I’m a scientist. Every time I hit "post," I hesitate. Not because I doubt the science. But because I know what’s coming....1/

The pause on reciprocal tariffs announced by President Trump is a welcome reprieve for the global economy. As President Trump and I have agreed, the U.S. President and the Canadian Prime Minister will commence negotiations on a new economic and security relationship immediately following the Federal election. As part of today’s announcement, the President has signalled that the U.S. will engage in bilateral negotiations with a number of other countries. This will likely result in a fundamental restructuring of the global trading system. In that context, Canada must also continue to deepen its relationships with trading partners that share our values, including the free and open exchange of goods, services, and ideas. This election is importantly about who can best fight for Canadian families, workers, and businesses at the negotiating tables with the United States and other potential partner countries. The stakes have never been higher. I am working hard to earn that responsibility to protect our country through this crisis and to build Canada strong.

New York public schools having more spine and strength than multibillion dollar Ivy League institutions… makes perfect sense actually. 💪🏽

BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent REFUSES to explain Trump’s sudden reversal on tariffs. Who got to Trump? Who knew before? Did people benefit by buying stocks just before the announcement? We deserve answers. This chaos needs to end.

I'm 61 and over the past two months, my 401(k) has lost 25 percent of its value. I'm always happy to contribute to the greater good, but can someone please explain to me how this helps anyone?

Welcome to BC, Prime Minister @MarkJCarney 🇨🇦 British Columbians are no strangers to hard work. We look out for each other, it’s who we are as Canadians 🍁. So when our sovereignty is questioned we roll up our sleeves, we come together & get to work. #TeamCanada Elbows Up.
