Russia murdered 3 people in Zaporizhzhia tonight. A 14-year-old girl and her father are gone. A normal family, just like yours.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

This isn’t legal, Elon. Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

Labour is right to hold major landowners to account for how they're treating nature. My take on the Government's new National Estate for Nature - whose members, intriguingly, include two large private estates (Elveden & Clinton Devon): whoownsengland.org/2025/03/21/l...

There’s been a lot of chatter online about a so-called ‘benefits test’– but let’s set the record straight. Right now, no such test exists. There are no immediate changes to Personal Independence Payment, and nothing has been confirmed. If any changes do happen, they won’t apply before Nov 2026. 1/3

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com
