"the foreign policy of the most powerful country on Earth has been rapidly reorganised around the fragile ego of a sullen and resentful old man". Zelensky has known for years that the orange is just a "nasty" man.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Yes to all of this, and: there’s no savings from laying these folks off because CONGRESS PASSED A SPENDING BILL TO PAY THEM and there’s no constitutional mechanism that lets the executive take back what Congress tells it to spend!

Yesterday, JAMA published a piece showing that abortion bans have led to a 5.6% increase in infant mortality bc (1) bans bans force people to birth babies with severe fetal anomalies that do not survive & (2) bans affect high-risk patients the most. Short thread: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

As I'm going through journal guidelines for a paper, I keep seeing suggestions that non-native English speakers pay $$$ for editing services, and thought it was a good time to remind anyone that needs it that @AnimalesEnEspanol.bsky.social will do this for free, just send us a message!

Jews say NO to ethnic cleansing! We’re proud to see so many members of the JVP Rabbinical Council represented among the 350 rabbis who took out this full-page ad in the New York Times today, using their voices in this moment to oppose Trump’s plans for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Every single professional organization in the country should be speaking out about the news about NCMEC. The administration put a financial gun to the heads of people trying to save children from kidnapping and trafficking demanding they enact policies that will hurt lgbtq kids. That is beyond evil.

We could probably fund 7 more NSFs just by auditing the DOD and getting them to stop buying tanks and putting them in warehouses to rot A 2021 audit found - just in the Navy - $4.3 bil in "untracked materials" (stuff they didn't know they'd purchased) NSF annual budget is ~$9 billion #chemsky 🧪

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Everyone can organize. Everyone can contribute to social movements. Everyone can do something, from somewhere. None of this is about "professionalism" or policy"expertise. That is counterinsurgency, demobilizing logic. Everyone can organize and has something to offer.

When someone says “why isn’t anyone DOING anything,” it sometimes seems to me that they’re looking for a superheroic action that saves the day rather than the kind of steady, human-scale work that actually is happening and could use your help if you have some time

With all the uncertainty around ICE raids, we need to ensure that we do not spread further fear within our communities, by spreading false information. Follow these guidelines when reporting a raid: 1️⃣Is it ICE? 2️⃣Get ALL the details. 3️⃣Verify if it's an actual raid with a trusted organization.

Reading my @theflytrapmedia.bsky.social comrade @katelynburns.com's sharp opinion piece on Trump's EO about the trans community has me thinking about how hard it is to be writing on trans issues while under constant, demoralizing attack. It's an experience a lot of marginalized journals are having.

Sometimes when I talk to folks here I feel like people think “organizing” is a great charismatic leader rising from the left and telling everyone what to do and then creating a mass march in the streets that is a cathartic outpouring of emotion (but accomplishes nothing). No.

Trump's freezing of all civil rights cases at the DOJ is not part of an anti-DEI agenda, but an anti-civil rights agenda. DOJ was founded to protect Black rights during Reconstruction. That this difference is unclear speaks to the success of conservative propagandists and the failures of liberals.
