Baha and Samaa have worked hard to make their tent into a nice home for their girls, but it provides neither shade nor insulation, it's infested with insects, and they're all suffering from the effects of malnutrition. Please help. gofund.me/db56c7ce3 @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social 🍉

I so admire Gideon Levy - Israeli Journalist, Haaretz.

A must read. 🔥🔥🔥 I have to wonder how many of the men at her Penn post just resented her bc of her deep values, her commitment to stick by them, and her clear success. …happy to recruit but loathe to retain if you have a spine.

Can someone please invent an American to British translation device? Basically take whatever an American would say directly and then fluff it up in indirect and passive language. Make sure it throws in an “I’m afraid” at the beginning of every sentence for Oxbridgey types. Thanks!

Though tbh when men yell at me now I do tell them to calm down knowing just how infuriating that will be!

I’m not sharing the post, because racists are stupid and dull, but one of them accused Mamdani of committing “vibe warfare,” which is amazing. I am proud to be alive during a time when even vibes can fight wars.

In the past decade alone, the richest 1% have gained $33.9 trillion. That’s enough to end global poverty - 22 times over. Read the new Oxfam report: oi-files-d8-prod.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/...

Walked past this sign today at Oxford, which spoke to me. Yes, I am angry. Really baseline angry when it comes to all things academia and “acceptable behaviour”.

Our paper published in Nature Scientific Reports looked at the #foodinsecurity experiences of people who remained in #Ukraine & those who fled to one of Europe's wealthiest countries #Switzerland. ➡️ We find that 80% of respondents faced some form of food insecurity. www-nature-com/articles/s41...

“There is far too much power in the hands of professors in the German system,” says @leising.bsky.social. My latest @nature.com story digs into efforts to tackle the entrenched structural heirarchy that enables academic bullies.

Thank you ETH Zurich for sharing the results of the investigation regarding Tom Crowther, which confirm most of the concerns raised in greater depth. I'm relieved to see that ETH is going to take a closer look at how it oversees and manages the conduct of research groups. ethz.ch/staffnet/en/...

"The report found that more civilians were killed in the first week of the Trump administration’s bombing campaign than were killed in the 12 months of US- UK strikes on Yemen that were conducted under the Biden administration from Jan 2024 to Jan 2025." The Signal chat was bad. This is worse:

Things are going great.

“Every $1300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.” Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment.

I’ve fixed your headline @nytimes.com “Zelensky refuses to cower to Trump, exposes Trump and his team as total losers, inspiring millions.”

Today, American consumers are being encouraged to abstain from purchasing any non-essential goods as part of a 24-hour buying blackout that aims to showcase the economic power of everyday people. The goal is to advocate for “economic resistance, government accountability, and corporate reform.”

Since January 24, 14,482 adults and 1,541 infants have died as a consequence of a single frozen USAID program. USAID implements the PEPFAR program.

If you thought inflation was bad before, you have a nice surprise coming for you! Tariffs coupled with deporting all the immigrants.. Should be a banner year for food security & the wellbeing of poor people in the US given the likely cuts to Medicaid. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

House Democrats refuse to vote for the Republican budget that slashes Medicaid and betrays the middle class.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

Disgusting. What differentiates an Israeli soldier treating Palestinians this way in their own home from the German army gunning Jews down in their homes in Europe in the 30s and 40s? Nothing. Israeli soldiers you have brought eternal shame to Jews all over the world.
