Tell me again how the administration's actions targeting higher education are sincere and not pretextual

Dept of Ed proclaims nursing isn’t a professional degree 🤯 but “medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, law, veterinary medicine, osteopathic medicine, podiatry, chiropractic, theology and clinical psychology” all are. In the midst of a national nursing shortage, no less.

👀 And btw, if you haven’t read it in a while, the 14th amendment is a real banger constitution.congress.gov/constitution...

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition. People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

A 14 year old has responded to Megyn Kelly’s disgusting comments. @cheeringforchange on TikTok #EpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheFiles #MegynKelly

Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals. This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

if you’re a journalist who wants to talk about how embarrassing this week has been for our profession (the michael wolff, landon thomas jr, nuzzi/bernstein of it all) message me on signal

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

NEWS — FDA announces 13 cases of infant botulism across 10 states after babies were given ByHeart powder formula from two specific lots.

I want to thank a generation for bringing the expression “cringe” into the mainstream

Dang, I wish I had a sandwich shop.

ICYMI: The 2026 #DisabledInSTEM Mentorship applications are now open! I look forward to seeing your applications soon! 💜

NEW: A federal judge said the decision by Trump WH to end sign language interpretation at briefings by Trump and Leavitt likely violated the Rehabilitation Act and harmed deaf people who communicate in ASL. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Australia has so much clean energy they're literally giving it away. Meanwhile, GOP is in all-out war to stamp out solar www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

This man gives me hope. And that’s a lot right now.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Watch my supercut of things Mike Johnson doesn’t know. You can see the whole show here: www.youtube.com/live/Ams4OLn...

*11/3/2025 noncooperation thread* Providing resources for those they want to beat into submission is revolutionary. 5/

We’re building a movement in NYC that’s strong enough to push back against Trump’s fascist takeover and attacks on U.S. cities. Across each borough and on every block, we’re organizing to protect NYC and our communities—but it’s going to take all of us. Learn how you can help: www.HandsOffNYC.com.

"the President has tried as hard as he can to make it as un-painless as possible" is such a perfect accidental summary of the chaos, the cowardice, and the perfidy --- (also I can't wait to say "this is un-painless" the next time I stub my toe)

We have a new timeline up today on our Food Safety page, documenting how individual events continue to chip away at the personnel, regulations, and oversight mechanisms that make up our food safety systems: unbreaking.org/issues/food-...

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Research showed close to $10 million was spent in three weeks, while federal agents went without pay.

Sometimes I believe that we will get through this for something better because we are yearning to take care of each other.

From now on, when anyone asks how we’re going to pay for it, the answer should be we’ll take it out of the teargas budget.

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

My friend, National Guard Staff Sergeant, and Illinois House District-13 candidate, @demiforillinois.bsky.social has gone on record with CBS News saying she will refuse to deploy to Chicago if ordered. www.cbsnews.com/video/illino...

"It's disheartening to be forced to go against your community members and your neighbors." "It feels illegal. This is not what we signed up to do." - Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek 2 Illinois National Guard members speak out: "I won't turn against my neighbors"

If you travel around your city using public transit, why not print out copies of Megan's "How to Report ICE" in your city and hand those out? It's a simple way to inform people. drive.google.com/drive/folder... - I distributed some to folks on the bus today and they were all grateful to receive them

Heyyyy we desperately need more archaeologists to volunteer to answer questions from students via video chat through @skypeascientist.bsky.social. We have 80 unmatched teams. We’ve already matched 650 😵‍💫 If you know any archaeologists, please send them here www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them. That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

It is impossible to imagine people allowing this to go on (or even participating in it within the government) if he was ordering the murder without any process of French citizens or Brits or Australians on boats no matter what they were alleged to be doing.

This lawsuit, which demands that the House of Representatives finally seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, has, um, fairly major implications for our democracy's survival in 2026 and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“More than 420 anti-science bills attacking longstanding public health protections – vaccines, milk safety and fluoride – have been introduced in statehouses across the U.S. this year, part of an organized, politically savvy campaign to enshrine a conspiracy theory-driven agenda into law.“
