“We can’t afford cancer research but $11 billion for one week of an absurd war is fine” is a hell of an argument

What‘s tough about this article is none of these guys seem to have reflected much about how they got into epstein’s orbit or why he was interested in their work and what that might say about it. Nor did science probe, instead it’s like ‘give c these guys a medal for not going to pedo island. 1/

Has anyone looked at what Scott has to say about the race and gender topics that interested Epstein’s cohort though 😬😬😬

It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history

Because killing a school full of innocent kids is truly the best way to ingratiate yourself to the local population so they might overthrow a despotic regime.

love being a WOC pointing out zero representation and getting the academic version of "all lives matter" back. "we don't see color" isn't the flex you think it is. it's why nothing changes.

Defund the police is very specific. The issue is the Black youth that articulated the position were met with eye rolls, even as they laid out their plan for an abolitionist movement. I've spoken to many of them, specificity isn't a problem, will is. Much like abolish ICE.

15 months. He'd been in the US for 15 months.

"He was yelling 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe' as they hit him" DHS deported one of the witnesses to the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at Camp East Montana. He was held in disciplinary segregation at the time when guards choked the 55-year-old Cuban immigrant to death.

ICE whistleblower Ryan Schwank, a former ICE instructor and attorney, testifies that agents were trained to disregard constitutional rights.

here is a comprehensive history of the use of agar in microbiology by corrado nai 👇 🙏 thx for pointing this out @microbingle.bsky.social earlier, corrado told the story of fanny angelina hesse in STC. #MicroSky

By the way, the way some white disabled people are responding to this thread by acting as if the N word isn't itself a disability issue for Black people is a great case in point of how it is taken as a given that Black people must simply tolerate everyday racism as the price of being in public

THIS IS BATSHIT ON TOP OF BATSHIT "In some cases, they must also provide the handles of their young children, spouses, and parents, many of whom are U.S. citizens, green card holders, or are otherwise in the United States legally."

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

this is a perfect illustration of the three kinds of democrats (kat is the rarest kind)

US Citizen, Ruben Ray Martinez, was shot 3 times through the driver's side window & killed on South Padre Island in Texas by Homeland Security Investigators while celebrating his 23rd birthday on March 15th, 2025. This DHS & #ICELawlessness must stop. Remember his name: Ruben Ray Martinez 💔

In recognition of #BlackHistoryMonth, this #EDIICatalyst features Dr. André K. Isaacs ( @drdre4000.bsky.social of @holy-cross.bsky.social ). Together, we discuss his journey celebrating Black & Queer excellence in STEM while connecting with Gen Z scientists. ➡️ Listen: bit.ly/46gYBgu #ChemSky

it's the fact that @emoryuniversity.bsky.social is also on this list, despite the results from our DEI survey showing 71% of community members disagreed with cutting DEI programs. Leadership isn't listening. #DiversityInSTEM #HigherEd #AcademicSky

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

But when it's cops and local prosecutors we can trust them every time they say one of us did something so bad that we deserved to be kidnapped at gunpoint and locked in a cage and furthermore we also deserve to then be trafficked and locked in a cage and then forced to work against our will

“Because it’s always been done that way” should never stand in the way of imagining and building a new system that aligns better with our core values. Sometimes the hard and even the nearly impossible possible is worth it to create the future we envision.

Raised concerns about lack of Black & Brown students in my PhD program's incoming cohort. Was told this was "inappropriate" and accused of directing "hostility" at students. Advocacy for underrepresented students is why I got a fancy fellowship AND I WILL BE DOING THAT. 🙃 #AcademicSky #LatinasInSTEM

That's THREE Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota who have been attacked -- assaulted, shot, killed -- by Trump supporters in the last 7 months (and 60+ more were targeted for violence). That is the actual domestic terrorism.

“Overall, respondents showed a striking duality at PSU: Students and employees reported high levels of belonging and respect among immediate peers but a severe lack of trust toward the university’s top leadership.” @psuaaup.bsky.social

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

You are embarrassing yourself by lauding this monster. Do you defend these views, which he held lifelong. Where is the "nuance in these words?" Shame! liorpachter.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/j...

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them. That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

Our tax dollars supporting a golden ballroom and concentration camps but supporting health care costs is too expensive

someone make one of those prayer candles featuring the Portland frog pleaaase 🐸 #portlandfrog #nokings

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

a melon hat on my cat (for my mental health ofc 😌) 🍈

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

This is the lesson of 2025

delta sleep x hail the sun 🖤 it is a beautiful thing to still get goosebumps when seeing my fav bands 💫

unfortunately did not get raptured so i did in fact have to finish the experiment i've been putting off 😔

Still coming down from the high of the annual HHMI Gilliam meeting. To be seen is to be loved, and I truly felt that. Even with the constant undercurrent of anxiety and disappointment (because of … well, everything), there was still so much joy and laughter. Remember: Joy is resistance. ✨

tired of being told that survival in academia means staying quiet and keeping my head down. in this political climate, silence doesn’t feel to me like safety. it feels like complicity. my gut is telling me to speak, even if it costs something.

I’m a woman. I’m undocumented. I’m a scientist. And right now, that combination feels like a direct challenge to everything the current administration is trying to erase. 1/6

I am a proud HHMI Gilliam Fellow alumn. The HHMI funded me at a critical time in my career - a real inflection point that made me realize that I had a place and future in science. I always looked to the HHMI as a safety net to those historically excluded by academia, 1/4
