Mothers have long been unfairly blamed for their children's autism, as Kate McAnelly recently wrote in #VIDAblog. Knowing this history is all the more important following yesterday's scientifically unfounded allegations about paracetamol/tylenol. Read more here ⬇️ www.auswhn.com.au/blog/unreal-...

Exciting job at Smith College! apply.interfolio.com/172309

People are STILL minimizing b/c the worst hasn't happened. Sure, DC now has military checkpoints, but isn't crime bad there? Sure, people are being dragged away by goon squads, but aren't they mostly illegal? Sure, universities and the media are being strong-armed, but aren't they too liberal?

There needs to be a congressional investigation into ICE and its practices. The agency needs to be completely dissolved and its agents and officers need to be prosecuted for any and all crimes committed.

This should get WIDE circulation: MIT stating that it “has no confidence in the provenance, reliability or validity of the data and has no confidence in the veracity of the research contained in the paper.” gizmodo.com/mit-backs-aw...

Oh, so literally NO ONE is supposed to do war crimes?!?

Delighted and excited to join História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos as an associate editor!! Thank you so much for the invitation, @revistahcsm.bsky.social!

As you read headlines like this, remember that repeated studies have determined immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans. Do not fall into this Republican frame.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.

I'm impressed that our PhD students organized this conference for other grad students and early career scholars. All are welcome to attend!

Judge Brian Murphy enjoined the Trump administration from improperly deporting immigrants to 3rd countries It seems they violated that order Now the judge says EVERYONE involved could face criminal contempt sanctions Good They deprived these immigrants of due process There must be consequences

Nursing Clio is the best!!!

I feel like if the risk of humiliating yourself before a federal judge, being sanctioned or fired, isn’t enough to curb AI use, any individual professor is at a real disadvantage against the deluge in getting students not to use it

Residents say jet fuel leak in Pennsylvania went undetected for months, poisoned their drinking water.

9 Weeks. So they want to keep her on life support for another 27+ weeks? This is.. seriously, like Bene Tleilax Axlotl tanks. It's absolutely horrific.

Well done @drkyliesmith.bsky.social. fantastic piece for @nursingclio.bsky.social

This study in The Lancet found that cuts to US spending on PEPFAR, the program to deliver H.I.V. and AIDS relief abroad, could cost the lives of 500,000 children by 2030. Half a million kids. Kids. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-04...

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

This brand of “soft eugenics” is usually just called “eugenics”. They’re not trying to have the “clever” breed, they’re focusing on white people while RFK Jr. and friends actively cancel grants focusing on diseases that disproportionately affect Black people

This is such a good book. You're going to love it! In the @uncpress.bsky.social InterConnections Book Series as well!

This feels like the defining image from this year’s Midwest Political Science Association annual meeting. The National Science Foundatipn paid for a booth in the exhibit hall. But the booth sits empty, because NSF has been DOGE’d, and there is no one left to send.

These bans were hard won and are backed by lots of science. PFAS chemicals cause cancer (kidney and testicular) and are linked to pregnancy problems and liver and thyroid disorders. And make vaccines less effective. They really are trying to kill us. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is the home of the USA Disappeared Tracker Dashboard. DM to let us know of a person to add to the tracker or to volunteer to help!

They’re straight up disappearing people off the streets for their political beliefs. I don’t even know what else to say about this

I am grateful to those who wrote this letter--and for the opportunity to sign on. "We are united in denouncing, without equivocation, anyone who invokes our name – and cynical claims of antisemitism – to harass, expel, arrest, or deport members of our campus communities."

Weird fash nerds running around inside the federal government twiddling knobs and flipping switches and going "what does this one do?" Getting big blobs of jelly on everything. Somehow no one is telling them to fuck off. Cards on the table I don't really care for any of this!

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

In the wake of unprecedented #wildfires in #California, this week’s revisited episode of #then&now delves into the concept of thermal inequality with Bharat Venkat, who contemplates the future of extreme heat and potential solutions to mitigate its effects. Full episode here: tinyurl.com/3cb2yyvx

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.

The city of New Orleans uses the Mississippi River as drinking water. Our current governor begged the state to remove funding from the city of New Orleans to fix the pumps and the decaying sewage and water system UNTIL the DA agrees to prosecute women for abortions. www.essence.com/news/louisia...
