NSF GRFP question: "Eligibility ... is restricted to individuals who meet the following criteria at the time of application AND ACCEPTANCE IF OFFERED A FELLOWSHIP" [emph mine]: So students who entered in Jan 2025: haven't done a full year yet but will have by the time offers come. So... ineligible?

Facing a walkout that left most of the U.N. General Assembly empty, Israel reportedly forced residents of Gaza to listen to his speech by playing it on their mobile phones. trib.al/or74WNC

According to data from Ice, we passed a significant milestone. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group arrested and booked into detention by Ice.

it cannot be overstated how disgusting tony blair and his gaza plan are. just one of the most despicable people walking the earth

Every single refugee who drowns in the Mediterranean Sea was murdered by the EU.

every single person who dies in ICE custody was murdered by ICE period. full stop.

It’s ridiculous how reliable if I go to the airport especially in the US there will be people coughing to assure me that I’m not being ridiculous for wearing a mask.

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

Washington state has strong laws protecting the integrity of our elections and voter data. The Trump Administration is entitled to the publicly available data — and no more.

2. AI will eventually be regulated but not before it pollutes the current markets where these data centers exist and you all will NOT get any help from the Feds so it will be up to each state to regulate over the next 5 years.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

King County residents shared how Long COVID has changed their lives. With over 200 possible symptoms, it can affect people of any age and health. Vaccination, masks, and good airflow remain key to lowering the risk. publichealthinsider.com/2025/09/23/h...

I made this months ago and it is yet to let me down

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

It's here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwvR... Greece's new Migration Minister has threatened whom he calls "illegal migrants" with "return, or prison". So who are these migrants? And how does @iom.int stand to $$$ benefit? With @hopeamelie.bsky.social and @phesimeonid.bsky.social for @omniatv.com

Why did I ever have to explain the concept of reporting the MMIW denialism bots and not just using my list to block them. Having to explain that on my old account was ridiculous. Native people shouldn't be the ones even making that list, the patterns and keywords are pretty easy to track.

Aviaja-Luuna is going home to mama! Zammi's first Birthday is in November, I am hoping she gets to go home to her mama next. No more stolen children!

For those of you not familiar, Alaa was an Egyptian political prisoner for much of his adult life. He was deprived of time with his son, his siblings, and his mom who went on hunger strike and nearly died trying to free him just in the last month. He was just released via a presidential pardon.

Lol this reminds me of when a friend asked if I talked about conservative thinkers in class and I said “buddy, I teach Plato”

Me: I’m gonna stay off social media for 24 hours. Me, 3 minutes later: *opens Bluesky*

The scientific method: verify statements Check mate

Last week, thousands hit the streets in Cuenca, Ecuador to protect water and the páramo de Kimsakocha from mining. Protesters are demanding the Ecuadorian government revoke 🇨🇦 environmental licence or face further action. Full blog: bit.ly/3ItYvJN

I came here to discuss politics…

Will the Washington Post rehire Karen Attiah if enough people boycott it?

happy first day of autism to all who celebrate

300k Black women got fired, Jimmy Kimmel was gon be OK. Give them their jobs back

BREAKING: France recognizes a Palestinian state at a United Nations meeting to revive the Mideast peace process.

Disney reverses course on Kimmel. Lessons: -Trump's anti-Constitutional stances, anti-1A in this case, are unpopular -Popular resistance via expression and spending choices can have an impact -Many corporate leaders are weak, amoral people who'll bow to threats unless they face countervailing ones

we have so much more collective power than people think we do

every corporate decision comes down to money and clearly the economics for abc/disney outweighed the threats from the fascist government

"You can’t eradicate autism without eradicating autistic people. It’s genocidal rhetoric against us that’s justified by 'autism destroys families. It destroys children.' No, it doesn’t. It’s bias against autistic people." From an interview at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

For a @motherjones.com piece, I'm looking to chat with 3-4 retirees about how they've been volunteering for causes that push back against what the Trump administration is doing. Please email [email protected]

Happy new week! Autism spectrum disorder isn't caused by one single factor. Tylenol is safe to use in pregnancy. People with autism spectrum disorder are not pawns in a political game and should not be further stigmatized for an agenda.

I just want to note that the link between Tylenol and autism is... not there. You shouldn't take tylenol willy nilly whether you're pregnant or not , it's not great for your liver but that's a separate convo.

Huge news here today in Egypt: President Sisi pardons Alaa Abd El-Fattah after years of imprisonment & repeated hunger strikes.

It's bonkers to look at the absolute chaos and brutality that the right has unleashed on the US over immigration and then to actually want more of that in the UK.

This document deserved a slightly closer reading. Shifting to faith-based providers means deprioritising abortion care and sexual health more broadly. There are many fantastic healthcare institutions run by religious organisations around the world but there are several that underserve women.

East Khan Younis has turned into a black hole—whoever enters doesn’t come out. The bodies of the martyrs have been lying in the streets for weeks, and no one can reach them. No one knows what’s happening there, whether there’s still rubble, or sand, or if even that has been wiped away too.

2. Where will they be evacuating the prisoners? The Broadview facility is uniquely horrible in its conditions but as we know with ICE and Trump, it can always get worse. We must stay on top of this, know where our neighbors are, and follow these human rights abuses wherever they might happen.

In case you're wondering how it's going, I was just told that taking off for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is discriminating against Christian opposing counsel.

Portugal announces it has officially recognized the State of Palestine

imagining a throw pillow with Hilbert's 10th problem on it

I have to admit that becoming elected governor of California is a pretty impressive way of launching your podcast. It shows real commitment to the bit.

i also want to note that "i don't want children to have to undergo genital inspections" is an extremely easy argument to make and the fact that elected liberals cannot manage it is because they are either incompetent or complicit and i do not give a shit which
