It's hard times for nervous systems, and I’m seeing a lot of fear-driven behavior in academic spaces. Marshall Ganz recently said in office hours: “Decisions I make out of fear usually don’t go well. Ones I make out of hope usually do.” Grateful for folks choosing hope with Science in Solidarity.

"We have been here for nine months,” wrote the 9-year-old. “Please get us out.” "I miss my bear," the 5-year-old said. In letters & drawings, the longest-held family at the Dilley ICE detention center describe it as "slowly killing us on the inside." www.texastribune.org/2026/03/11/e...

🪴 Grateful for the people I’ve worked with who actually live the values they talk about: equity, care, community. Those experiences have really shaped how I think about inclusive science communication and civic science. Always excited to connect with folks doing thoughtful work in this space.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

"What they don’t often tell you is how beautiful the resistance can be....Everyone is doing his part here, each to his ability. This is easier to accomplish, it seems, when joy and love are the engines" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o...

George is very seriously considering his next move in Thunder Road Vendetta.

heroes make themselves known all the time, their armor is their love (and bathrobes), their fierceness, their conviction to their values even in the face of incredible risk

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Minneapolis breaking the Trump regime is such an incredible testament to the resolve and courage of the people who live there and I hope they know that they are an inspiration to all of us.

This a word cloud from the titles of ~1100 terminated NSF grants. It is hard not to see these grant terminations as an attack on the training of the future United States scientific workforce.

My work should help people breathe easier, not harder. If my intelligence serves harm, it is misaligned. If it serves life, it is home.

If you were to actually take his white supremacy and racism seriously, you would evaluate their impacts on every single decision and policy advanced by the administration. And you would be on board for future reparations.

I know a lot of us are worried about ICE + how science & tech are used for surveillance and war. We organize Science in Solidarity Action Hour to take action (Senate + Microsoft) and build relationships of trust so we can grow real power together. Join us 💛 buff.ly/pYBl1Dn More: buff.ly/O2bfMqE

I'm a theatre person who isn't a fan of musical theatre, but "We Build the Wall" in the Hadestown performance absolutely wrecked me. Thank you artists for helping us make meaning of these times, even in texts written 17 years ago.

The point of a conversation is not only to change someone else’s mind — it’s to risk being changed myself. Transformation is mutual or it isn’t real.

@sydmt.blacksky.app became a journalist to be part of the solution. Journalism had other plans. She's given us an essay on what it means to choose empathy and ethics as both are under attack, and to tell the truth outside the media institutions that are failing us. unbreaking.org/blog/Unbreak...

(1/3) That temptation to disappear ourselves? It’s calling really loudly right now. It would be so tantalizing, so understandable, to give into collapse.

I recently posted in my neighborhood Facebook group asking if folks wanted a Signal version of it. Anyhow now there are like 400 people in a Signal group. Highly recommend doing this

We’re building the muscle. Practice with us at Action Hour: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The quiet work of tending relationships is not a distraction from change. It is the infrastructure that makes change hold.

We are in solidarity with everyone striking today. Our Block It! mini toolkit is a great source of other actions you can take to disrupt ICE:
