615 of the estimated 3,000+ detained immigrants who were kidnapped in Chicagoland during Midway Blitz are expected to be eligible for bond this week. The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund shows up for people in detention who need bond, but it costs, at minimum, $1,500 per person. Pls help them.

PSA for people with NIH grant periods starting January 1st (including most NIGMS MIRAs): your RPPR is due Saturday, but they haven’t sent out the usual automated reminders, presumably due to the shutdown

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

This is Elmo’s doing. Firing 400 FAA employees at the beginning of this year. And THIS is EXACTLY 👍 WHY we are having the problems that we are having: the lack of air traffic controllers, the plane crashes 💥, etc. liveandletsfly.com/faa-employee...

Un-fucking-believable. Israel just bombed the food distribution center of The Sameer Project. There are a number of martyrs and people still trapped under the rubble. Please, please donate to their North campaign if you are able. chuffed.org/project/help...

btw Costco seems to have the cheapest updated COVID vax. You can get it without a card at the pharmacy and they do take walk-ins. If you’re also uninsured due to the massive amounts of layoffs this year, they also take this goodrx coupon to lower the cost of www.goodrx.com/comirnaty?sr...

This is wild, the Reuters reporting implies all the claims are completely fabricated.

there are a lot of potentially good posts if you search libgen on bsky since I know nothing about the case from an author’s perspective bsky.app/profile/tyle...

Maj. Gen. Joseph McNeil, who passed away yesterday, organized the Greensboro Sit-ins at only 17-years-old. Within a month, four young men grew into a nationwide story that electrified the Civil Rights movement. #ncpol #greensboro #civilrights https://www.ncat.edu/news/2025/09/mcneil-passes.php

Hey ho Let's go! The next world premiere in our 35th Season is Dada Teen Musical: The Play, by Maury Zeff, directed by Gary Graves. Hope to see you there! centralworks.org

That's right: Dada Teen Musical: the play, by Maury Zeff, is a play, not a musical. Sounds dada to us! We open October 18! centralworks.org

Plea for fellow reporters: can we stop reflexively referring to everyone the feds randomly arrest as “undocumented” or “in the country illegally?” We frankly have no idea who they’re detaining or what their status is most of the time, and there are *many* reports of people with status being detained

One of the shocking things about the violent and chaotic arrests we've been seeing is that people *are* shocked by a style made very normal in poor, Black and Brown neighborhoods. Gang units are called jump out boys for all the arrests that start when plain clothes cops jump out of an unmarked SUV.

The final production of our 2025 season is the wild comedy “Dada Teen Musical: The Play” by Maury Zeff! Tix and info at centralworks.org

Zach Khan, a high school journalist, has a new investigation he's hoping you'll all read.

Sitting here with an advance copy of this and it is hard to imagine a more timely book! I think this book from @akpress.org/edited by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social will save lives, and I encourage you all to preorder and nudge your local library about it. #BookSky www.akpress.org/read-this-wh...

Did you know that for $5/month, you can get PBS Passport, a service that unlocks the vastness of the @pbs.org libraries? Feed your mind while you help PBS stay on the air.

This director. This stage manager. These talents. Aretha!

I'm collecting gently used and new books to support Bluestockings in keeping its doors open.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 113 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

This might as well be murder. We paid for the lifesaving RUTF (ready to use therapeutic food) and are letting it just sit in a warehouse…because Trump and Musk and co don’t care if people die. In fact they seem to revel in that fact.

Tonight.

Real talk: our lab is at the cutting edge of tracking climate change-related deaths, and we have exactly $0 of external funding to do it. We're getting $0 from NIH and NSF for the next few years. If you're able to materially support our work, it keeps projects like HAL alive.

House Republicans have proposed a 50% cut to the Government Accountability Office and a 12% cut to the Library of Congress in a bill to be marked-up tomorrow. This would destroy Congress's non-partisan expert agencies and blow up the Legislative branch.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

GOP: Our budget will reduce the deficit CBO: It'll increase the deficit by $2.4 trillion GOP: But with greater growth, it'll pay for itself CBO: Accounting for growth it's $2.3 trillion GOP: ... CBO: Also, more debt raises interest rates, so the true effect is $2.8 trillion.

Black people had to fight in the courts for a century after slavery to get our basic rights in America. White people simply decided “DEI is racist” and with a snap of a finger all the equity programs are gone. Nobody had to go to court,nobody had to prove disparate impact… just vibes.

Did you know Elsevier, a leading scientific publisher and the publisher of The Lancet which this week has our article about the importance of DEIA on the cover, has the largest gender pay gap out of 8 major UK science organizations? “Every science publisher pays men more than women…

Trump revoked Biden’s 2021 order that expanded voter registration through federal agencies. The move ends efforts aimed at reaching underrepresented voters. Advocates say it erases years of slow but meaningful progress. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/how...
