Statement from Stand Up For Science: Politicizing the Childhood Vaccine Schedule Will Cost Lives. "Under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, this change will lead to preventable illness, death, and devastation for American families. Congress must act now to impeach and remove Secretary Kennedy."

Amazing record for the FIFA

This New Years Eve, I remind myself- Lo alecha...it is not yours to finish the task, neither are you free to desist from the work. A core aim of authoritarianism is to erode our will to resist so they coast to total control. A toast to our commitment to be Too Fabulous for Fascism. #BraveOfUS

When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /

Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

It never ceases to amaze me how many people who (correctly) ardently support universal healthcare then turn around and oppose universal right to free counsel. IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME PRINCIPLE.

I highly recommend adding a paid subscription to @mskellymhayes.bsky.social for next year. Her posts keep me informed, grounded, and hopeful amid all the chaos and pain.

I truly think this is as solid an investment in the movement as you can make.

Kind mention of my memoir in Psychology Today: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind...

Good morning! The rising sun brings a sense of hope and possibility. Wishing for a new year of justice, democracy, compassion, and kindness.

No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

Merry Christmas Eve, Massachusetts. I know right now it can be hard to feel joy. But in joy there is resistance. So hold your loved ones and your community tight this holiday season. The fight goes on. youtu.be/ew12_ByKXQM?...

Clear evidence that at universities conservatives don't face higher obstacles than liberals to establish student groups + invite outside speakers. "These results fail to offer support for the view that conservative students encounter more difficulty in efforts to access campus resources."

An important piece about a deeply disturbing development as congressional Republicans attack the American Psychological Association on false claims. It’s also relevant to the unfounded attacks on universities. #psychscisky #psychology #academicsky royeidelson.com/the-weaponiz...

The media is being consolidated and the robber barons of information are being chosen as winners in Trump's command economy. And most of the media is ignoring it.

The choice to remember the perseverance of small flickering lights, and not a battle, is a decision to not canonize bloodshed even when “our” side is the winner.” By Rabbi Elliot Kukla truthout.org/articles/zio...

AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON? HOW??????????

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

To all the teachers out there, at every level, formal or informal, thank you for pouring into students, believing in growth, and encouraging critical thinking. You all give me hope. #teachersky #academicsky

This made me laugh this week: "So sad that this generation of white boys cope with loneliness by turning into incels… whatever happened to sitting ur ass down and writing a song called Iris? Putting pen to paper about how down bad you are? Let’s bring that back."

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered the government to restore Rümeysa Öztürk's SEVIS student record after it was wrongfully terminated in retaliation for exercising her freedom of speech. This allows her to fully engage with the opportunities of her PhD program.

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Just spent a beautiful day long retreat (zazenkai) at Morgan Bay Zendo in Surry, Maine. Grateful for the opportunity to practice in a place so many others have practiced before. May all beings be free. 🙏🏻

Good morning from Belfast, Maine

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

Dear journals, collaborators, potential trainees, & colleagues: Please be patient with your nih friends. Those of us who are still around are doing everything in our power to focus on science & keep the long view in mind. But life is very much one day at a time, & catch up from shutdown is a beast 🫠

Highly recommend this webinar 👇🏻👇🏻

Gratitude to everyone who contributed to this excellent webinar being presented.

And from Lise Brody: "I have seen commissioners willfully misconstrue the words of the panel of Holocaust scholars from Concerned Jewish Faculty and Staff who warned of the dangers of this approach. "

"By importing the authoritarian tactics of President Trump, turning public hearings into a social media circus, trying to humiliate organized labor and Jewish educators, and by actively bullying non-Zionist Jews, the commission did not combat antisemitism." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/27/o...

Above is from @menchik.bsky.social. See also from @jpygold.bsky.social: "The commission has spent more time defending Israel’s reputation than engaging actual experts of antisemitism, Jewish history, and civil rights."
