Harvard faculty, staff and students held a silent standout today to highlight pervasive anti-Arab, anti-Muslim bias, which has prompted over 500 discrimination complaints to be filed in the past year.

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

Brutal.

This is a must read. Yes it's the Daily Mail, but that's exactly who Trumpers would leak to. And leaks aimed at damaging Miller are to be savored. (The stuff about Miller countermanding Trump's direct orders could be fatal if Trump is allowed to hear of it.)

For background on what’s happening to LGBTQ kids right now in foster care, especially trans youth, read this. An update is overdue, and coming soon.

Just reupping this post for the people that think giving money to the bigot lady is a matter or nuance, she is actively trying to undermine the law in my country. The main anti-trans organisation here admits they have 20-30 members, nobody apart from a handful of bigots wants this

Alice Wong's Celebration of Life is TOMORROW, March 25, 2026 from 11am-1pm PT.

It took me a while to understand this

BREAKING: Democrats just flipped the Florida House district that includes Mar-a-Lago. Yes, Donald Trump is going to be represented by a Democrat. Our complete recap -->

If what Booker says is true, it’s way past time for these “good” senators to step up. Otherwise it appears like they’re all just in it for the AIPAC payouts and the insider trading and the lifetime of free premium health insurance.

Solidarity with Emily Tucker and her open letter to students. Tucker writes, "But the great thing is, you don’t have to go along with this, and I urge you not to. You can refuse to use the chatbot. You can tell your professors that you don’t want them to use it or to require you to use it."

57F here and a parade of ants came through my kitchen window, only to be met with my cinnamon blockade. Not today, ants.

Trump: “They executed three young people for protesting”

About 200,000 immigrant truckers will begin to lose their commercial driver’s licenses under a Trump administration rule that takes effect today, straining the industry responsible for moving goods across the U.S. as energy costs surge amid the war in Iran. https://wapo.st/40ALq6V

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

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

CHICAGOANS!!!! Voting is open for the annual snowplow naming contest. And “Abolish Ice” is one of the options. You know what to do (vote): chicagoshovels.org

There is no version of medical ethics under which this is anything other than lunacy

ICE is a taxpayer funded agency built on family separation, racial profiling, abuse, and lies. Cruelty is carried out in our name. Democrats who still voted to fund it: •Davis (NC-01) •Cuellar (TX-28) •Gillen (NY-04) •Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) •Gonzalez (TX-34) •Golden (ME-02) •Suozzi (NY-03) 1/2

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

This is worth watching to the end.

America is already great.

I hope the world knows that Americans do not want Greenland. We want healthcare and we want ICE to stop terrorizing our cities and our people. That is what we want.

Gov. Walz to MS NOW: "Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic. "The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

they’re not going to be satisfied until they kill again none of these agents have a shred of humanity

It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Make it viral.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

ALOT going on in the world, so here’s an adorable yet majestic owl for your TL. Hang in there, friends! 🦉 🗃️

The nursing shortage could worsen because of changes to student loan programs, which now sets borrowing limits. Beyond that, the most insulting punch to nursing is the Trump regime's revised definition of "professional," which downgraded RNs from professional status affecting access to student loans

This is such a satisfying read if you, like me, are vexed by the constant intrusive shoving of "AI" into every fucking thing that used to work just fine

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.

Why is the US paying $100K per person to deport people “who’ve never been accused of a crime” to Palau, a place they’ve never been? These folks were probably all minding their own business, doing worthwhile jobs in the US, and paying taxes here.

These workshops look wonderful.

There are still a few spaces left on my botanical (10) & bird illustration (24) & mental health w'shops in January I'll teach you how to draw🌿🌱 or🐦‍⬛👇 AND how creative activity alters brain biochemistry to improve mental health I'm an molecular cell biologist & illustrator: workshops.emmamitchell.uk
