I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

As a candidate, Trump promised to end surprise medical billing.   Just weeks into his second term, DOGE has slashed the federal office charged with implementing a bipartisan law cracking down on surprise medical bills. Yet another Trump lie.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Bernie is right. No more playing dead. No more running to the center. Sincerely, Someone who has watched you do this after every election loss the past 50 years.

We have to stand up for science! Anyone who can join these rallies and believes that US science must be defended should come! I’ll be there in DC - join me!

Fucking MAGA Morons

Trickle up economics.

I've never rooted for cholesterol as hard as I am now. Zelensky is a hero. Trump is an embarrassment.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

Exciting new paper on damage&prevention to rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) by researchers from UiT - The Arctic University of Norway 🔬👇

Excited to share our new paper „Hydrogen peroxide damage to rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells is prevented by n-acetyl-cysteine but not GSH“ DOI: 10.1097/HC9.0000000000000617 Great collab with amazing researchers: @immortalizzi.bsky.social @szafranskak.bsky.social @zapotbart.bsky.social

Heartbreaking and devastating, and yet a story all too common for those in academia...😔 @21group.bsky.social

infuriating ... harassers/abusers are commonly also narcissists and have effectively limitless energy for gaslighting, threatening retaliation, wearing down those that might hold them slightly accountable, etc. ... most people cannot weather such an onslaught and end up leaving one way or another

One time in grad school I asked a department chair why a particular professor known for harassment and lots of other bad stuff wasn’t fired. His response: “he brings in $1M a year.” That was a rude awakening.

@academicabuse.com maybe a story for you?

This year, be the nodder in the audience every presenter deserves

I’m with Denmark.

My family and I celebrate Christmas as a time to come together, even though we’re not religious. We feel so fortunate to share this season in peace and safety. Many do not. I hope everyone of you is safe, healthy, and surrounded by moments of joy. Wishing you all a happy and peaceful holiday season!

Disgusted, disturbed and distraught to read about the silence from #UiT. When whistleblowers dare to come forward with names and faces, while tenured academics stay silent, something is fundamentally wrong. Freedom of speech matters most when it's hardest. www.nordnorskdebatt.no/ubehagelig-s...

News like this is always shocking, but it's especially disappointing when it occurs at your own university. What's perhaps most infuriating, however, is the response to the article: complete silence... www.nordnorskdebatt.no/ubehagelig-s...

It has been a week since I shared the story about Hansen. In that time, many women have come forward to thank me for standing up, sharing that they’ve been in similar positions. Their stories prove how widespread this issue is. This is why it’s so important to speak out. #UiT must learn and change.

I shared how women are disproportionately targeted. Sexism in academia is real and protected by systems meant to ensure equality. As I said in Nordlys: "Why should we stand up when the system protects abusers?" We cannot allow this to continue. #WomenInSTEM #AcademicAbuse #UiT #GenderUnity #Equality

What is happening here is serious! And unfortunately it's not the first time I've heard of such incidents. There have also been similar incidents of abuse of power at German universities. Universities must not close their eyes to such problems and must develop effective mechanisms to prevent them.

🧵A prominent professor, John-Bjarne Hansen, at one of Norway's leading research institutions created a culture of harassment that devastated careers and lives. After years of silence, here’s what happened at UiT and why it was allowed to continue: www.nordlys.no/varslingssak... #UiT #AcademicAbuse

Gave a talk on social media this morning at #ASH24 Someone asked about the longevity of BlueSky and I answered optimistically. So don’t make me look dumb y’all.

What can government scientists do now to minimize the damage that’s coming over the next four years, and what can we do to help them? I spoke to several experts to write this story for The Revelator Please share widely. 🧪🌎 therevelator.org/scientists-m...

Anti-vaxxers have no business working in the medical field.

Science has values, and they are inherently in opposition to political ideologies centered on the rejection of evidence, the promotion of scientific falsehoods, and that seek to undermine the institutions that support scientific inquiry. You don't get to pick! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This is the social media I always wished for—kind, collaborative, and full of meaningful connections. A wonderful place for researchers and medical professionals to share and grow. Let’s keep it like this ☺️

Is there such a thing as a general vascular biology or endothelial biology starter pack? I could not find any. Suggestions welcome

I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

Petition to call users of BlueSky “skylings”

Now that this app is becoming more popular, there has unfortunately been an influx of right wing accounts I highly recommend subscribing to this blocklist if you want to avoid this type of content bsky.app/profile/did:...

Do not engage with trolls. Just block them.

The CDC and WHO report a 20% increase in measles cases last year, driven by decreases in vaccination. This equated to 107,500 DEATHS, mostly in young children. This, in a PREVENTABLE disease. Can only imagine what that number will be if we get rid of all mandates.

This scene will always stir deep emotions in me. Growing up, I was told by my teachers that I would 'never achieve anything'. But one supportive teacher set me on the right path. This is a tribute to that teacher, and all others who change lives every day. Thank you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j64S...
