Holy shit. The administration might be evacuating the ICE facility we've been protesting for weeks. If this ends up happening, it's a huge deal. Protests matter. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

… so she has integrity. I think this is so shocking to us on socials because we spend so much time watching the “serious” adults with platforms justify talking to Nazis while erasing POC for access So they can’t believe the women in mouse ears would go” NOPE” at the first sign not the last

“AI has always been a marketing phrase that erodes scientific inquiry and scholarly discussion by de- sign, leaving the door open to pseudoscience, exclusion, and surveillance.” zenodo.org/records/1706... 6/🧵

This is what I mean when I say they can't fix it. it's not broken, it's structurally indifferent to truth It's built on "likely" Sometimes likely = true Often it isn't

I have a three year old and I am a Disney girly. BUT every little action counts.

I hate that I have to learn of policy via social media 😭😭😭

Those of us inside can breathe for now… It is still unclear what will happen with renewals AND this will still definitely impact higher education.

NEW: Hours before a new entry ban is supposed to go into effect, the federal government officially acknowledges for the first time that the restrictions do NOT apply to people who currently have H-1B visas. Link: www.uscis.gov/sites/defaul...

Oh my GOD. This is the first official confirmation that the new H-1B entry ban does not apply to people with current visas (despite the text not containing ANY exception for people with current visas), and it’s not even something on an official website, it’s a passive aggressive tweet!

Got covid and flu vaccinated today 💪🏽 and pharmacy said next week we could get F the covid and flu vaccine too!

I truly don't understand how democratic leadership think they are going to move forward after voting to honor a white nationalist who essentially called Black women—the base of the party—stupid. It's insulting. I find it personally insulting.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Guidance Microsoft sent to employees. They are interpreting as travel restriction. For renewals some people will be in the clear. Those of us that because of timing of renewal and approval may need to exit the country (this may be me in May) may be caught on the cross hair

My friend and colleague Wesley Morris and I had a very sobering conversation about America since the 1619 Project published and how it feels to be falling back under the veil that W.E.B. Du Bois so mournfully wrote about. I hope you’ll listen to this episode of Cannonball @nytimes.com

Also the fact that most people commenting on this H1B are focusing on the impact to tec shows a lot of people don’t understand how many people work in H1B in this country across all industries 🤷🏽‍♀️

If not stopped. This will effectively finish killing the research and teaching infrastructure of universities in the US

Wait… IF this interpretation is correct that means I cannot go visit home ever again while I am in an H1B? also what happens for renewals? Like if I am renewing my H1B but I am still inside the US?

The first episode of @radio-ambulante.bsky.social's The Moment with Jorge and @paoramos.bsky.social is out! Guest: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

gradstudnet doesn't know what zip files are and I don’t know if I ever felt more elder millennial 😂

I have huge respect for Jorge Ramos. I loved @paoramos.bsky.social “Defectors” I am very excited for this podcast. And I think is very telling of their vision that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was the first guest.

“I told you so” isn’t enough lol.

This graph shows a U.S. public health triumph: near-elimination of pediatric hepatitis B through universal birth vaccination. After 30 years of extraordinary progress, ACIP tomorrow considers dismantling it. Medical justification: none. Consequences: catastrophic. www.cdc.gov/acip/downloa...

Rumors have spread online since two men were found hanging in trees in Mississippi on Monday, owing in part to the charged political climate since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and Mississippi’s history of lynchings targeting Black men.

Democracy, more than anything is a practice. I always think that the Civil Rights Movement succeeded because from the Civil War black Americans built institutions: universities, fraternities and sororities, churches, that engaged them in democratic practice.

Watching prominent commenters followed by dozens of people I know say "it's over" because Jimmy Kimmel got suspended...like, they actually killed Medgar Evers, in defense of a fascist system that had been in place for decades. Imagine social media that day! Read history and have some self-respect.

They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant. Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.

If you have put your name down saying that you will be somewhere at a specific time, that becomes evidence in court that you were in fact there, even if actually it turns out you didn’t go bsky.app/profile/chan...

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

Big assignment due tonight and exam 1 is tomorrow. Told them I wouldn’t reply to emails with technical issues or questions after 5pm today. Only half of the classroom have submitted the assignment 🫣🫣

Faith Family Academy is one of eight Texas charter school districts on track to be shut down at the end of the year after receiving an “F” rating. Board members paid its superintendent a peak annual compensation of $560,000 in recent years. By @emsimani.bsky.social & Lexi Churchill
