Why are academic societies still on X it must violate all their code of conducts?

deaths of white women, particularly mothers, are often used as litmus tests for social outrage

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Trump is also withdrawing the US from the International Law Commission. The US had a proud history on this UN body, which is charged with the codification and progressive development of intl. law. The US is now indisputably a rogue state. #internationallaw www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Today I learned Canada has accredited Professional Biologists (P. Biol.), which I think is hilarious.

Donald Trump is ceding America’s position in the world and our greatest advantages—in science, in particular—all while trying to curtail our hard-won freedoms. If I were trying to destroy the United States, I cannot think of one thing I would do differently. This isn’t leadership. It’s sabotage.

Yeesh I hate being repetitive, and yet... It's time once again to remind my fellow Americans that there is no mechanism whereby state run elections can be suspended or canceled by the federal government. None. So don't go along with any garbage you hear to that effect. Laugh, and get ready to vote.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Preventing care to an injured person, specifically a civilian, when there is no active threat is a war crime

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

Trump's plan to gut $10 billion in crucial child care funding to five Democratic states, including New York, is blatant and outrageous political retribution.

"But if the violent goons don't have a militia then you'll just have random violent goons!" is such an absolutely braindead take

It occurs to me that, given that 42% of global methane emissions come from agriculture and 20% come from waste, most of our need to reduce anthropogenic methane emissions comes down to having to wage war on methanogens.

Conditions at the California City immigrant detention facility are nightmarish. It will only get worse.

A terrific, principled essay by Lee Bollinger in the Chronicle borne from his perspective as a university president and legal scholar. Hope you can read it, no gift 🔗 available. Side note: we met at UMich while swimming in the competition pool w/special access www.chronicle.com/article/univ...

"if you don't follow directions, I put a bullet through your head" is the height of abusive, on-edge, insecure, fearful chud manchild behavior

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland. If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.

From January 6th to the recent invasion of Venezuela, Trump and his allies have always viewed force as the ultimate source of authority. Yet, his authority is still entirely on loan from the American people. Here’s what this all means for us and our midterm elections.

Coercive individuals or groups thereof of any kind (of which both authoritarian movements and controlling partners are a subset) do not understand coercion kills legitimacy. You cannot force anyone to love you. Love cannot be forced out of a human being.

Guys, with understanding that everyone is angry right now, I am honestly going to start blocking people who say things like, "Who cares? The law doesn't matter anymore," or "They can do whatever they want, they can't be stopped" etc. I mean, if you really feel that way, you're a part of the problem.

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an act of self defense. I’ve seen the video myself and I want to tell everybody directly; that is bullshit.”

If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online. Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.

I was listening to @thebulwark.com's Next Level podcast today and they were thinking through the chance that Trump actually tries to seize Greenland and there was a @jvl.bsky.social sort of 'I kinda hope he does it to drop the mask entirely' and I just cannot scream loudly enough: No, You Do Not. 1/

somebody at UChicago is feeding preprints to LLMs without authors' consent, in a research study they have the gall to suggest to authors they've opted-in that they volunteer to evaluate the LLMs' suggestions regarding their own work. lol, lmao even. here is the invite and my reply

Every time I see headlines about the U.S. and Canada becoming geopolitical adversaries I think about the Canadian military permanently in Colorado Springs for NORAD. If I’m Canada, I’m making the most of that access right now in the lead up to whatever Trump has planned.

Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

This is a policy choice. As Dr. Gottlieb recently put the issue on CNBC: if we substantially reduce vaccination rates, "we're going to have to build new pediatric hospitals." www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8CJ...

In the era of affordability politics, making clean energy cheaper may be a more viable emissions mitigation strategy than making dirty energy more expensive. My latest over at The Climate Brink digs into the debate:
