not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.

Increasingly convinced that this site has the same flaws as other social media train wrecks: it's too easy for dumb people to use

Pacifism is privilege.

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel. Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare. Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.

BREAKING: The FBI arrested a Wisconsin county judge accused of helping a man avoid immigration enforcement in escalation of Trump's fight with the judiciary.

“A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.”

One of the allures of this site and others like it is the idea that you can construct and curate a bespoke portal on the world. Contrast with reading a book, or a long-form article. Or an article beyond the headline! People seem to prefer their feed to any of those 1/

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

Each of us can take our own form(s) of positive action. Everything matters.

They were always going to take the money. Better to lose the money fighting back than lose it rolling over. As @celestepewter.bsky.social says: call your electeds (contact info at reps.fyi) and call or email your alma mater and tell them to stand up too.

Why is it always bigoted assholes who complain about "virtue signaling," and "identity politics?"

You had me at "music by Max Richter" --me to any movie

To be naturalized an immigrant needs to demonstrate moral character and a deep and abiding knowledge of US history and civil religion Which kind of irony is it that we don't require these things of our natural born citizens... The ones abusing and twisting our ideals to reject and abuse immigrants

Thread; Bear witness.

One of the most clarifying things I've seen in the past few weeks is "de-escalate all conflict that is not with the enemy."

Maybe the plan is to use Elon as a one-man early warning system

Children killed by the fascist Russian missile strike yesterday in Kryvyi Rih. Ukraine’s military have confirmed the weapon used was an Iskander-M quasi-ballistic missile armed with a cluster-bomb warhead. The attack on a residential area of the city killed 19 and injured 68.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

reading up on stagflation

10% on all imports is a tax on ordinary consumers intended to pay for tax cuts for the 1% the worst part is that it won't even pay for the tax cuts, so entitlement programs are on the chopping block it's literally there in black & white, grade-school math, there's no ambiguity

Beyond cashing in on the volatility, no there is no coherent strategy here, it is a "cult of action" Kids who insist on driving the car again even though the last time they tried, they drove it through a store window
