A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts the FDA's own publication from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

"The Trump Administration will root out the evils of anti-Americanism". "It is a privilege to employ aliens on campus ... You have lost this privilege". "Let this serve as a warning to all universities". The language here is as chilling as the actions being taken.

High school and college are totally different things, and one of the (many) great disservices we have done students in this country is to flood high schools with AP & DE courses that suggest otherwise

Important thread and it's extremely important to know that this isn't over. I particularly want to stress that if you are in a district Represented by a Republican who voted for the bill, an immediate thing to do alert the public and the media in your area. Indivisible has other suggestions.

1) If you have had Covid you are at risk. 2) THEY AREN’T FUCKING “BOOSTERS” THEY ARE NEW SHOTS. THE VIRUS MUTATES. 3) They are able to do this because the uptake is already so low. This is not the end game, it’s an opening gambit.

okay nerds, one of my best friends is getting ordained to the priesthood and when i asked him what he wanted he said "something I would need but that i won't really get otherwise." Any advice? ⚓🕯️ Relevant context: he's a hospice chaplain and won't be in a parish

“Who gives a fuck about who the new Pope is?” He’s going to at least nominally run an organisation larger than any sovereign state to have ever existed. I think a little interest is warranted on entirely secular political grounds

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically why vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

It’s so inside-baseball that I don’t write about it much but the way straight feminists engage with lesbians is frequently defensive and aggrieved in a needlessly hostile way that I do tend to think of it as its own form of homophobia.

I try to be really careful about judging my colleagues too harshly in public. I know some of you laugh at that assertion. Heh. But what concerns me is the uptake of AI among education professionals signals, how much bureaucratic control the administration has usurped from the profession.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

RFK Jr. is speaking to a specific slice of parents (mostly) who believe their autistic child is not like the autistic people who, for example, post on this app. Those parents are committed to a diagnosis of "profound" autism. They are wrong. Please read this from me and @juststimming.bsky.social

If the notion the Gaza protests were broadly antisemitic was a fringe conservative media canard rather than an idea spread by the mainstream press, would they be trying all this legally? How much are columnists talking nonsense going to cost these colleges? How many students will suffer?

"If Jesus was fully God, he was omniscient. He knew everything that would happen & everything that would be created. So, technically, Jesus probably woke up in, like 20 AD with 'Despacito' or the Farmers Insurance jingle stuck in his head." Actual text my teenage son just sent me.

So, the disciplinary process was a sham to begin with, but much like its decision to appoint a non-academic trustee as President, the Board is throwing procedural legitimacy out the window to crack down on Palestine activism. None of this will stop the Trump admin's assault on higher ed.

Genuinely, I think the “justice is punishment” mindset is a big part of how we got to this place. People are extremely willing to be hurt if others will be hurt more. And that’s a necessary precondition for fascism to flourish.
