You really can't understate how serious this is for trans academics. The US is a huge country for science - be it through conferences or employment. Travel or jobs there for trans people are now pretty much completely out of the question. 🧪🔭

Hi, sorry, so sorry, gotta run in here for a second because I think there is something VERY IMPORTANT WE NEED TO DISCUSS IMMEDIATELY. No, not that Mike Johnson is a total tool with the most punchable face. It is that DATA can be used to lie ALL THE TIME.

Y’all they cancelled the NSF MPS Ascend Program after encouraging underrepresented folks to only apply to it and not both the Ascend and the MSPRF. This is astronomically fucked up for many grad students and postdocs of color in math. #MathSky

Three of the people Donald Trump pardoned last week have already been arrested on charges related to child sexual abuse. Chuck Schumer is tweeting about how your salsa will cost more next week. Failure in communication is a choice.

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

Reasons to alt text: 1) Accessibility is solidarity. Blind folks & others rely on screen readers & alt text makes pictures accessible. 2) Added context. Alt text gives you space to explain context for images, details that drew you to it, the construction or composition. 3) Effective muting. —>

If the question is "Should we work with corrupt nazi oligarchs to further our own demise?" the answer is always no. (Sadly the question is not always quite so blunt, but right now basically every question is this question.)

a big chunk of the media will always spin positive for musk because an obvious lie about something everyone saw is less painful to run than a story that would hurt the stock prices of a bunch of companies worth billions. there's a lot of money riding on him being a genius

WHO: “The systematic dismantling of the health system in Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care. This horror must end and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!”

And let's not forget that Chenjerai was hired to teach journalism at NYU, because he is an award-winning broadcaster. For doing the thing he was hired to teach, he is now being being declared "PNG" at NYU. Wild stuff.

normal, serious people, for over two years: abortion care and healthcare for trans people are inextricably linked heterodox thinkers: pffff you're being hysterical samuel alito, in the supreme court today: if we're allowing abortion bans then of course you can ban trans healthcare. it's obvious

false moral superiority in action. glad it is no longer lost on most people how morally corrupt the dems are. their loss in the elections is a clear sign of decay of that type of politics and that empire

"I worry what Helmuth's loss means for Scientific American, and for anyone doing and covering science. As some media outlets scurry right to normalize Trump, the editorial courage of the past four years at Scientific American remains urgent and necessary."

I hope that the people who are usually not politically engaged but worked really hard to get Harris elected wake up soon and realize that they are not the only ones who are tired of a struggle that is full of defeat & in fact they could learn about surviving from the leftists they mark as enemies

i have always hated the 'did the average german know about the holocaust' question. it was obvious they not only knew but openly supported it. having grown up among you people, it was clear that americans know what their govt does and that many support it anyway.
