I feel guilty and powerless to stop what my government, and by extension I myself, is enabling in Gaza. I pray that this ends soon. I didn't think it possible that the moral stain on Israel for their response would grow larger than that on Hamas for the October 7 attack.

"What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians,” [former Prime Minister Olmert] said." www.huffpost.com/entry/israel...

At what point will the extreme violence perpetrated against Palestinians push pro-Palestine activists to violence? It seems we've found out. Hopefully a settlement is coming soon. www.vox.com/politics/414...

I was happy to see Sally Kornbluth's signature on the AAC&U letter (www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...) opposing the Trump administration's targeting of academic institutions. From an alum, thank you @mitofficial.bsky.social

For those scientists who think this administration won't freeze grant funding due to your personal views: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... Says specifically that NIH grant funding will be terminated if you "engage in a prohibited boycott [against Israel]" @aip.bsky.social @aibsbiology.bsky.social

1/2 We in New Hampshire should not let this happen again. Masked individuals without visible, proper identification should not detain - much less abduct - people. Anyone can strap on a sidearm and a mask and stop people. @repgoodlander.bsky.social @hassan.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov

Seems clear to me that local police need to be onboard so that citizens can enlist their help in challenging warrantless kidnappings by supposed ICE agents.

I never thought I would be looking to Kinzinger for advice on resisting the Republican party's take-over, but here we are.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

If you thought it wouldn't happen here in the Upper Valley, friends, think again. @uvindivisble.bsky.social @repgoodlander.bsky.social @hassan.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov

Trump is not capable of this level of coherent thought
