its crazy how dominant germany was in science (especially chemistry) in the 19th century, it was basically the international language for scientists, people came from all over the world to train at heidelberg etc, and then....

In light of this deeply illegal activity at NSF and the ongoing attack on American science, I'm posting the slides from my 2017 talk at the American Physical Society about the Nazi take over of German physics/why German is no longer science's lingua franca 🧪 🧵 1/26 drive.google.com/file/d/1_MCm...

Absolutely insane filing. The Trump government is arguing that a law firm is a national security threat because it was part of the lawsuit against the transgender military ban. We are just STEPS away from Russia-style designating LGBTQ+ orgs "extremist and terrorist organizations"

My statement on the charges filed against me:

This is a proclamation of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

There’s an IBM Selectric II with a box of font balls put out for free on the sidewalk and I’m really having to resist the urge to grab it.

Seeing people offer more sympathy for an ancient dying old politician than for the Palestinians he helped doom is soul-shattering

Nineteen months in and they're still letting the IDF write their copy:

People—now, here, in our communities—will die from intentionally lethal, eugenicist policies. And now future generations will suffer from the halting of research. All of this because our absolutely broken culture is built on coddling the bigoted greed and aggressive insularity of rich men.

This Thursday is May Day—also known as International Workers’ Day—and Portland is showing up, with events starting tomorrow through the weekend. With the federal attacks on workers, immigrants, and marginalized people across the board, May Day is all the more relevant and important this year.

Yeah; this isn’t deportation it’s exile, or rendition, or disappearing or kidnapping. If the government forcibly relocates a citizen or relocates a non-citizen to somewhere other than where they came from, it’s not deportation. It would still be wrong even if it were deportation, but words matter.

An antidote to facism is more community.

Lots of good stuff here, especially the point that although we need a popular front, people who were sneeringly wrong about the threat should not lead it. Trumpism was fascist from the start, and those who stated this plainly were often derided. www.liberalcurrents.com/trump-alarmi...

We could so easily build a society where everyone is comfortable and ok and able to pursue their own interests but instead everything is arranged so a few get whatever they want while almost everyone else grinds and suffers.

ICE Agents should never be able to hide behind “just following orders.” They are Gestapo for a dictator and it should never be forgiven nor forgotten.

The entire administration should be strung up in The Hague for crimes against humanity. Noem et al should be very worried - Trump will likely die in office, he’s old. But the rest of them? Wheeeew boy.

Apparently all the government offices in New Jersey close for Good Friday? Works for me! music.youtube.com/watch?v=fVT-...

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Great example of why when you ask, "what can I do about all the horribleness?", one of the most practical answers is, "Go outside your house and build community with your neighbors."

I don’t think you can summarize the fatal problem with modern liberalism any better than “My issue with the way people are being deported and disappeared is procedural.”

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

As people are disappeared under the false banner of "anti-Semitism," Marco Rubio shares posts from white nationalist Laura Loomer, who works directly with neo-Nazis + Holocaust Deniers - even speaking at white supremacist American Renaissance conference where David Duke + Nick Fuentes are fixtures.
