In a world where grief bleeds through the seams of our hyperconnected lives, where minds fracture under invisible weight, where democracy withers in the shadow of rising authoritarians—joy is no longer luxury. It's insurrection.

"For all the hysteria, when I look at Mamdani, I didn’t see some radical departure from the past. I see him as the heir to an old and venerable Jewish tradition – that of Yiddish socialism – which helped build New York."

Honestly surprised to learn that Tom Lehrer just passed but this is the song of his that feels appropriate to the moment. In the pantheon of satirists.

One of my favorite annual

traditions is that we always play this video of James Earl Jones reading Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?" If you've never read or heard the speech, it's well worth your time.

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

This alum says do it. Fight back. Do not surrender to Trump’s war on academia and academic freedom. This is autocracy. Leading institutions must stand up to it. Lead the way. Those that yield grease the path to authoritarianism.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

Normalizing blatant and unrepentant perjury is one of the most pernicious things that can happen to our profession. If we don’t have an obligation to the truth then litigation is just vibes and soundbites.

Appreciate your concern,
@thenation.com
. It’s been tough. The president is a repeat sex offender, the word “female” is banned from scientific research, and ten year old girls are forced to give birth to their rapists’ babies. As a man, I am very distressed by this. Thanks for looking out for us.

Loneliness is at the core of so much of fascism’s success. Both for its supporters and those who hope to fight it. Community, then, is itself a form of resistance.
