This is sad.

So much more of this. The antidote to loneliness is connection.

This headline needs to be rewritten to: A judge has ruled that abortion in Idaho are permitted if a woman's life is in danger.

More of this, please! academeblog.org/2025/04/11/t...

The statement by the team of Columbia University graduate and legal green card holder Mahmoud Khalil is heartbreaking. Anyone who cares about freedom of speech should be against the Louisiana judge ruling to deport him.

This makes me so sad.

Oh, look, now foreign nationals need to carry papers with them at all times.

More of the horror.

Is this part of their efforts to root out antisemitism? Oh wait, this IS antisemitsm. Can't these folks just self destruct already with all of their immoral, unethical, inhumane b.s.?

I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC. Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know? $300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.

Disgusting cowards. Why don't they just sign right up to defend renditions for the DOJ?

If you are a law student or associate who joined one of the Big Law firms that is now collaborating with Trump to do pro bono, ignore the bullshit management is telling you. Here is what Trump has in mind for you. Your spineless leaders will never say no to him.

There is a severe problem happening in the bee world: Bees are dying & this year 2025 80% of the Bee population has died. This is catastrophic for the planet. So I am asking my sweetest friends with money & pull: lets get Honey Tree Healing Farm going to repopulate bees, trees & feed the world.

We must stop this.

Stand up! Fight back!

The facts in a nutshell. c. NYT, April 11, 2025

More hate being doled out today. No respect for anyone in this country who isn't a white christian nationalist billionaire or the ghoul Stephen Miller.

Despicable.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

🚨 ⚠️ WELP ⚠️ 🚨 I think we know one of the reasons DOGE was infiltrating the federal payroll systems. Multiple sources are telling me that their union dues are no longer being deducted from their paychecks.

This is mob rule, folks and it needs to STOP. Will the people of Maine stand up to defend their state? Will Susan Collins? Will Angus King? Will every single elected representative? This regime is taking away our hard earned money and taking away our hard earned freedoms.

“They’ve been relentlessly dismantling every single civil rights agency in the federal government, and this could be the last one standing.” Garza added that she is “prepared to challenge any attempt to illegally remove me as chairwoman.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties. Could overturn Justice Riggs' victory. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t...

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Palantir has been in the business of border surveillance for years. Now everybody else is going to get a taste of their horrors too.

This is really bad.

Hey BlueSky, I need your help. If you're in STEM & from a lower socioeconomic background, what barriers did you face in HS, college, grad school, or faculty roles? I want your stories—& any lit you know of. Let’s talk about the real cost of doing science. #AcademicSky #SciOutreach
