That "first that came for" poem says you should speak up for certain minorities because eventually you'll be a target too. But you know, you could also speak up simply because it's wrong to target people. Self interest isn't the only reason to oppose oppression.

U.S. liberalism is off the rails, believing in its own moral superiority while actually being an accomplice to fascism. This is a post to read and then re-read and then reflect—not react. From: @emsenn https://kolektiva.social/@emsenn/114092324940424990

It’s very sad that ICE detains German citizens, but they have been doing that for the last decade to brown people with all types of passports including German ones. It’s not a new thing or anything (a Singaporean friend of mine was accused of wanting to move to America at SF airport. He said […]

If your laptop ran on coal, you literally put charcoal briquettes into it to make it run, and smoke came out the back, you’d use it less right? Or if your laptop ran on tap water, but its exhaust was brown & chunky liquid, you’d use it less right? Or if your laptop left acidic stains on the […]

Help out Research Methods students who are replicating published psychology studies. They only have a short time to collect data and I'd love for them to have big enough sample sizes for their results to mean something! The spreadsheet has all the studies they are running. If you can, take a […]

Capitalism can't solve climate change because publicly traded companies must satisfy their shareholders — typically institutional investors — resulting in a focus on maximizing short-term gains at the expense of long-term planning for both the company and the […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

When scientists are threatened with being fired over saying the wrong words, it's up to the rest of us to say the words they're not allowed to say: The high temperatures last month bears the fingerprints of #ClimateChange caused by the burning of #FossilFuels, which needs to stop […]

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

Remember that the NAACP is calling for a massive boycott of Walmart, McDonald's and Meta because of their about face on DEI under pressure from the vague notions of the US president and his friends. I would appreciate it you participated in this boycott too. It seems like it's pretty big […]

This is Eric. Until last Friday, Eric was a Wildlands firefighter working in the national parks service. He spent last summer fighting the Wildfires in California. And last Friday he got deleted. Why? Because of his title, which was "Natural Scientist" he […] [Original post on mindly.social]

My hobby: sitting in conversations about the economic and societal impact of #AI and mentally replacing "AI" with "elves". Most people treat "AI" as a black box, and do not think they should try to understand how it works _before_ they start discussing its […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

Heroes! 👏🏼 Via Norm Eisen: #BREAKING: we just blocked #Musk & #Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

Hot take: nihilism is as bad as fascism, and not the same as realism. Things are terrible, will take years and immense effort to fix. However, bleating “doomed, might as well die” is one thing to say to yourself but a whole other matter to say to a generation of kids. It’s our responsibility to try.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. NOAA had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

One of the keys to success on commercial social media is hate. People have grown accustomed to the "commitment strategy," and, without realizing it, generate or respond to hate because this creates commitment—and profit—for those who exploit it. This is why, for years now, I've been striving […]
