Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

One thing that's abundantly clear: passing the SAFE Research Act would permanently end the United States' ability to be competitive in any area of advanced technology. Just straight up suicidal policy-making.

This has gotten surprisingly little attention — it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now — but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane www.science.org/content/arti...

"This represents saving higher education, saving public research and the standing up of faculty, staff and students," — Veena Dubal, AAUP General Counsel & law professor at the University of California, Irvine. #DefendHigherEd

Megyn Kelly has a 13 year old daughter. This just goes to show there is nothing these people won't say to curry favour with Trump.

The same voices opposing abortion are ALSO targeting birth control access. But we are NOT backing down. Use #ThxBirthControl Day to share your stories and remind everyone why access is so essential 🙌

@nytimes.com—women didn't ruin the workplace, but sexual harassment, lack of equal pay, pregnancy discrimination, gender bias, lack of advancement and leadership opportunities, double standards, microaggressions, unaffordable child care, & the glass ceiling certainly did

Remembering the days when we bathed in the dust of Doritos

Women born with vaginas, raised as girls are suddenly not sufficiently womanly enough. They're branded as "men" and humiliated. They are stripped of everything they have worked to achieve and called cheats. It only serves to police womanhood based on the ability to be a breeding vessel.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

Guess these folks really don’t understand that we’re fighting a fascist regime.

A recent essay, “The Great Feminization,” posits that the growing influence of women is harming U.S. institutions. Sophie Gilbert argues that the real problem facing American culture is quite different: https://theatln.tc/kUfY14fc

Remember when this regime touted “states rights" and now they're fighting to force states to starve their own citizens.

'Cornell agrees to provide the federal government, on a quarterly basis, with “anonymized undergraduate admissions data…broken down by race, grade point average, and performance on standardized tests.” (par. II.9)'

The agreement intrudes on Cornell’s independence and faculty academic freedom to set research priorities. It also allows the fed gov't to use Cornell data to implement the F47 administration’s hostile agenda to block the admission of students of diverse races and ethnicities... and so much more.

"Silence, for me, is now intolerable."

Thimerosal has formula C9H9HgNaO2S. It is not mercury. The systematic name for thimerosal is Ethyl(2-mercaptobenzoato-(2-)-O,S) mercurate(1-) sodium. Chemicals aren’t the sum of their parts. Chemical bonds change everything about behavior. 1/

In honor of Viktor Orban's visit to Washington, here's a reminder that Orban has made his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Republicans hate dogs and cats.

In a time of increasing precaritization, 100 new tenure-track positions should be a boon. But the all-in plays on "AI", a term that, in its common usage, refers to technologies that are actively harmful - to students, teaching, and knowledge itself! - frightens and alarms me. #HigherEd #AcademicSky

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago: A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility. “Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

“The regime wants all of us afraid. It is counting on fear immobilizing us and perhaps even turning us against each other. Instead, what we are currently seeing in Chicago is that solidarity can overcome fear and can give people the courage and tenacity to fight for each other.” --Mariame Kaba

"I am assuming everyone remembers exactly where, when, and how they realized that the man who had led a multi-month campaign to nullify the result of the previous election and incited a violent insurrection... was going to return to the most powerful political office in the world"

Weekend reading: Where America stands, one year after Trump’s election. A fascistic movement controls the government; they are trying to build an authoritarian state; but they have not consolidated authoritarian rule. A democracy no more, but not a stable autocratic regime yet. This week’s piece:

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

A fine for what? What does capitulation do except invite more abuse of power? Come on Cornell.

"the average American benefits significantly from environmental regulations — and stands to lose a great deal if the contrary view prevails"

Across the country, demand for electricity is on the rise — and so is the price of electric power. n.pr/485sLnd

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

BREAKING: MAMDANI HAS WON according to Decision Desk

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Nearly every county in Virginia has shifted blue in a massive statement against Donald Trump.

If you are in line when the polls close today, stay in line!

if u do not have anything nice to say well sometimes u are not wrong

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

IT’S ELECTION DAY, AMERICA! Remember to get out and VOTE!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

oh my god

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.
