Just a completely rotten culture from top to bottom. Using human shields to clear buildings, shooting unarmed civilians, no ROE, etc; the IDF is anything but a professional military

corporations bailing on supporting lgbtq+ organizations out of fear of getting attacked by the trump admin is exactly why longtime activists have criticized the hollow corporatization of pride and advocated for grassroots pride events.

heads up If you are using this moderator account it is intentionally adding people like myself and other journalists and academics to it claiming they are mis/disinformation in an attempt to manipulate the platform. It would be great if @bsky.app would take action against those labelers.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

People still think that evil people know they're evil. They don't. Evil people think they are doing good things. They just define "good" differently. No one ever thinks they have malign intent.

A community that is willing to fight together and for one another wins against fascism. Fascists are cowards. We can and must make these forces afraid Solidarity to all those on the ground in San Diego fighting back ice and the Gestapo.

Look, I don’t want my entire identity to be Woman Shot By Fascist In Targeted Politically Motivated Deadly Mass Shooting, but it’s been 3 years and I’m still at that park, and I’m still finding it necessary to give reality checks to Liberal idealists who believe similar violence cannot reach them

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
