I think about this comic at least once a week

Texas measles update today: 20 more cases since Tuesday, 89 of the 683 cases have been hospitalized US-wide tally likely many thousands across 25+ states, with much under-reporting www.reuters.com/business/hea...

“Kids in school with Muslim names used to be teased or harassed if they wanted to pray or fast,” says Abdullah. “Mohamed Salah has made this acceptable. Because he’s like us. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

It's not just Columbia, it's not just DEI, and it's not just biomedical research: Trump's war on universities has frozen crucial science at institutions like Princeton, Cornell, Northwestern, and more. Our @nature.com team spoke to some of the affected scientists: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

With a new round of terminations, I wanted to reshare this. I'm a reporter with @cenmag.bsky.social looking to hear from researchers impacted. Contact info ⬇️

Keep in mind that this is just the beginning. I wouldn't be surprised to see an "official" NIH page saying that vaccines cause autism next. We're far from the bottom. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

This is good news. But reporters, please stop just repeating that this task force has anything to do with stopping antisemitism. It is about closing universities and about fomenting antisemitism. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

“My hope is that during the coming years, the unprecedented assault on scientific truth that has adversely impacted public health in our nation comes to an end so that the citizens of our country can fully benefit from the breadth of advances in medical science”. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/h...

Four weeks ago, I taught undergrad students about interacting with police and ICE. danny.hellmo.space/posts/a-town... I’m upset that this is now useful information. American citizens should: 1) carry their passports 2) use them as a fucking shield for others #academicsky #highereducation

Yes. The situation at NIH is worse than the public realizes. The #NIH is on track to be effectively ended as a funder of evidence-based research within a year. That is not an exaggeration. The firings and consolidation announced today will create a new, MUCH worse NIH. 1/

They are cutting cancer research. They are cutting cancer research. They can deny it all they want, but they are cutting cancer research. These are the cuts being made the DoD CDMRP cancer funding mechanism www.fightcancer.org/sites/defaul...

Thanks to global immunisation efforts, an estimated 154 million lives have been saved over the past 50 years 🌎 🤝 That’s equivalent to 6 lives every minute. #CelebrateVaccines

This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties. The Trump admin is targeting students with legal status and ripping people out of their communities without due process. This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms — and we will push back.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

The "Is it a constitutional crisis yet?!" discussion is so absurd: Of course you can construct increasingly esoteric definitions for why this current moment doesn't meet your exact criteria yet. But meanwhile, this is where we are: Masked agents of the states abducting people for writing op-eds.
