Autoimmune diseases pit the body against itself, leading to devastating consequences. But could new therapies finally bring an end to these conditions?

And the neologism of the day is 'apocalyptorecrudescence,' whose gist I reckon we can all work out. #apocalyptorecrudescence

On the change of direction Jeff Bezos has declared in the Washington Post Editorial Page: Yeah, that's what we need in the current market of ideas and news opinion, Jeff -- more of those criminally underserved billionaire apologetics. #WaPo #Bezos #EditorialPage

From #greenwashing to #greenwarring in 8 years. We cannot wait to decide where we will go from here. Slipping back nostalgically to another age is not an option. The Human Age of environmental impacts is in progress and it is literally fueling accelerated #ClimateChange & a Sixth Mass #Extinction.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Good to meet many friends, new and old, here on #Bluesky.

Dear California farmers and Congressional representatives: Trump has just literally thrown millions of gallons of #water away that farmers were counting on this summer, purely to brag that he could. That #cawater cannot be captured or used now by anyone. www.latimes.com/environment/...

We are living in a democratic emergency. It is a profound mistake to go along to get along.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

In 1951 Swedish writer Stig Dagerman wrote an autobiographical essay titled "Our Need for Consolation is Insatiable." It is a remarkable poetic meditation on the life-and-death stakes of the literary imagination from a writer possibly suffering from an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. #StigDagerman

If you are looking for a very readable history of the Fourteenth Amendment and birthright citizenship, I highly recommend Garrett Epps's book *Democracy Reborn.* 🗃️ us.macmillan.com/books/978080...

Read a summary of the AHA's report from the most comprehensive study of secondary US history education undertaken in the 21st century. The report provides empirical evidence and rigorous analysis to inform current debates over how history is taught in our schools. 🗃️

We need good journalists more than ever. Here are some great ones working in the climate space. Follow them. Amplify them. Support them if you can.

Climate attribution science aims to explain how human-induced climate change influences extreme weather. A recent @sabincenter.bsky.social/@columbiaclimate.bsky.social conference explored important advancements that may shape litigation, policy, and governance. Via State of the Planet.

This week the U.S. joined Iran, Libya & Yemen as the only four countries in the world not party to the Paris Climate Agreement following 47's executive order to withdraw from perhaps the most important international agreement of this century on his Inauguration Day. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

This is not surprising but still sad. We must find other pathways to honor the ambitions of the Paris Agreement without the U.S. federal government's participation--in fact, with its active opposition to the agreement.

A welcome development: the Attorney General of Arizona, along with 21 other states AGs, challenging the nakedly unconstitutional effort of 47 to strip American citizens of birthright citizenship. abcnews.go.com/Politics/vid...

It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

My first post on Bluesky. The move here was bound to happen eventually. I have stopped all activity personally on the old Twitter, new X, and I don't think I can abide the old FB, new Meta, much longer. If now isn't the time, I don't know when the time would be to begin using this platform instead.
