Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

After spending my day at the African American History museum where we witness in detail the immoral practice of family separations during slavery, these headlines seem darkly uncanny.

Just naked and brazen corruption. All states represented by Democrats in the Senate. Time to stiffen our spines and demand that we only fund a government that obeys the law.

CBS news will now be reactionary propaganda for the oligarchs. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Jane Goodall was one of my first scientific idols. She reminded us that the natural world is not simply an object of study but a living, breathing subject: "In a flash of 'outsight' I had known timelessness and quiet ecstasy, sensed a truth of which mainstream science is merely a small fraction."

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Maybe universities try this on that grant extortion offer that just went out?

A moment that calls for collective action… to reject this transparent attack on academic freedom.

Jane Goodall died on Wednesday at 91 after a life spent revolutionizing the study of primates and then bringing her global fame to the cause of conservation. Here are snapshots from her life and career.

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Philosopher John Searle has died.

The vast majority of people held in jail are legally innocent. Many of them are there simply because they are too poor to make bail. Does that look like a system built on justice?

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Frodo: “I wish it need not have happened in my time." Gandalf: "So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

Couldn’t be any more clear…

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

I'm sorry, what?

Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!” Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now. What are we doing about this? It MUST stop. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

The Atlantic has some… questionable editorial policies. This is literally untrue. A fact checker with half a functioning neuron could tell you so.

Larry Ellison is worth $392 billion. He's bought: —Sailing team ($875 million) —Estate in Cali ($200 million) —98% of a Hawaiian island ($300 million) Now he's trying to acquire TikTok, HBO, CNN—and push them right. A lot of good his giant tax breaks are doing the rest of us.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

NYT editorial board: "With these attacks, Mr. Trump has ordered the summary execution of people who are not at war with the United States in any traditional sense of the term and who may not even have been committing the crime of which he accused them." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

2 things are true: Tylenol doesn't cause autism, and RFK Jr. needs to GO! We've delivered 1k+ ducks to Congressmembers on behalf of their constituents with the message: #ImpeachtheQuack! There's still time for you to recreate this meme on Capitol Hill and send some ducks of your own: zurl.co/LrVbo

Wow, just wow 😍

Throughout the summer, @wired.com reporter Kate Knibbs has been following our campaign. From right-wing attacks to our mutual aid work to the 20 bottles of hot sauce in the campaign office, here’s what she saw: www.wired.com/story/kat-ab...

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Today’s the day all our heads (and hearts) get replaced with this book, from @raforall.bsky.social

The New York Times piece today about US science is terrible and wrong—in many ways. I could write a whole article about this, but as one example: “To close observers, the original crisis began well before any of this…” No. I’m a close observer of science, and this is incorrect.

this is a very sharp piece on why it makes no sense to run universities as if they are businesses. They're not businesses. www.afr.com/work-and-car...

Yet again, machine learning — even gussied up via the transformer architecture — encodes and reinforces societal biases. This study reveals that LLM-based peer review relies heavily on author institution in its decisions. arxiv.org/abs/2509.15122

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

As we begin another week, my law firm is litigation 52 voting and election cases in 25 states. We are preparing another half dozen. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight of our time and I am proud that my firm is helping to lead this fight in court.

Social media is the sea peoples

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Trump peddles "Gold Card" visas for $1M bribes to the Commerce Dept, supplanting merit-based green cards while slapping $100K fees on H-1B workers, brazenly auctioning America to plutocrats. #ImmigrationCorruption

there’s a lot of talk about big tech and corporations but so many international academic colleagues are also on H1Bs. no university is going to pay 100k extra a year to keep them. if this holds, it would essentially mean the end of foreigners on tenure track jobs at US universities.

This is amazing.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Damn this is good

This is insane. Let your friends and colleagues know.

Wow... The US advancing from shooting its own foot to chopping both legs 💔😭
