It's possible to criticise specific scientific work or sociocultural aspects of the scientific enterprise without advancing the anti-science thinking that is currently being weaponised by authoritarian regimes

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

When you meet someone who wants you to be institutionalized, prosecuted, or killed, you should be asking yourself: what do I have in common with this person? Tomorrow from Ezra Klein

@curseen.bsky.social at @capcpalliative.bsky.social #CAPC2025 Wednesday plenary: she is the great outpatient palliative care whisperer. Perfectly discussing why outpatient pal care is so incredible and different than inpatient care and how we underprepare our fellows for it.

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.   Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.   Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

"The goal of it was to better understand the breadth of the problem, who’s affected, and with what consequences...We hope to call attention to the issue, demand accountability and increase transparency in the moderation practices,” said EFF's Jennifer Pinsof to @apnews.com.

@capcpalliative.bsky.social giving the mainstage to people to actually speak the truth about the utter bullshit out there that is called “palliative care” by some Medicare Advantage plans & for profit community pal care programs is leaving me speechless. Thank you for not hiding this #CAPC2025.

At #CAPC2025 and can’t express how refreshing it is to hear a clear-eyed, frank discussion of profit in healthcare and what went wrong with the attempt at value-based care. This is a discussion that some have actively tried to suppress within #hapc.

Attn all ICE agents! Here’s an announcement from our front window: Chicago hates you, and you are not welcome here!

We can't have a socialist mayor in New York City. The one other time we tried that he was incredibly and enduringly popular and we named an airport after him.

Aussie unions don’t beat around the bush.

The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social

all of mpls discussing their boosted news program, launching this week, and judging by the graphics, this is taking credit for multiple hit pieces on omar fateh: an axios story about the 2023 budget, a minnesota reformer story about a federal case, put out based on their polls

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

cuomo's campaign strategy, from what i can tell

Ah, an intellectual battle between a stochastic parrot incapable of true thought, designed in a laboratory to satisfy the whims of the far-right, and Grok.

there is a search going on right now at minnehaha falls for missing 12 year old child victoria alexandria jackson and they need more people helping if anyone can go join, please share this flyer!!!

... the countries that build public transit well, quickly, & cheaply all have something in common: most of the work is done by the government itself, using in-house expertise, rather than farming various parts out to private companies under the bullshit theory that private always = more efficient.

Deported under a little-known wartime law, more than 130 Venezuelans were sent from the U.S. to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Now released, several tell NPR they endured beatings, sexual abuse, and near-total isolation.

No effective abolitionist and certainly no enslaved person walked up to a total stranger expressing dismay over the passage of the fugitive slave act to say, “well this is a racist country, what did you expect.” People kept organizing and building hope through collective resistance and rebellion.

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

Reminder that the mayor of New Hope is LITERALLY the guy who issued the lying media statement about George Floyd’s murder. www.newhopemn.gov/city_hall/ci...

“In a deviation from department policy, Brooklyn Park police waited more than an hour to enter the home of Melissa Hortman after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway.”

just in terms of integrity, the star tribune owes the public a retraction and apology on the horseshit hagiography (additionally, there were people who sniffed it at the time). Now we know the truth www.startribune.com/new-details-...

If you’d told me a decade ago that the NYT and WaPo would roll over for a Republican president going full fascist while the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal went on the attack — and that Bill Kristol was pressing the attack harder than Nancy Pelosi — well, I’d have had you committed.

Cuomo: I am now running on affordability. Also Cuomo: there is no “real answer” on affordability.

I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white. The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country. We also have a food pantry.

I would call myself a professional pessimist and "extremely depressed about the future" but god, please stop going into people's mentions to tell them that the law/courts no longer matter or post "AND YOU'RE SURPRISED???" at them, especially so if they are actively engaged in making the world better

The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, CA. Other workers, including US citizens, remain unaccounted for. UFW staff is on the ground supporting impacted families. Our full statement below. ⬇️ 1/

Nothing that any university has done has "helped make it a White House target". Universities are targets bc they are *always* targeted by authoritarian regimes, and anything would have been a pretext. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u...

I don't think NYT should know peace until they divulge the full chain of decision making that led to the laundering of Nazi propaganda against a leading anti-fascist politician the same day fascism was codified in Congress.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

What voters think nativism will mean: stop giving benefits to others, so you can focus resources on citizens What it actually means in practice: stop giving citizens benefits, so you can focus resources on punishing others

Sometimes I reminisce about the 4 h “interactive” precon workshop I attended which consisted of 2 dudes reading ppt slides for 4h, intermittently looking up to ask “Any questions?” & at one point muttering disparagingly at us the audience “I thought this was supposed to be an interactive session.”

This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country
