We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

This is Pippa. She’s been on many scenic hikes and has seen many beautiful views. But she has also napped through her fair share of those views, and we don’t blame her one bit. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Hey, macht doch nix. Dafür spart der Staat ganz viel bei angeblich zu teuren Mieten von Bürgergeld-Beziehenden und durch den völligen Entzug von Leistungen, wenn jemand n Job nicht annehmen kann. Man muss es eben bei denen holen, die sich nicht wehren können. Alles andere wäre krass anstrengend.

Nicht #FridaysforFuture, sondern #BND und #Bundeswehr warnen nun vor den Folgen unterlassenen Klimaschutzes. Und führen damit die Realitätsverzerrung der aktuellen politischen Debatte vor Augen.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

Friedrich Merz hat bei der Vorstellung seines 5-Punkte-Plans wohl vergessen: Kein Kanzler steht über dem Gesetz. Und auch an seine Versprechen zur Nicht-Zusammenarbeit mit der AfD erinnert er sich nicht mehr. Jetzt ist keine Zeit für schwache Nerven @CDU. youtube.com/shorts/k_oHJ...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Unser Plan: Wir entlasten Geringverdiener und die Mittelschicht gezielt und dauerhaft. Mit der Union aber steigen deine Kosten, während die Reichsten profitieren. Das ist nicht gerecht. Wir stehen für faire Chancen statt wachsender Ungleichheit.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

So many voices now really getting very uneasy about this. We cannot all be wrong. Young, old, creative, academic, political... why are all the universities kissing the (usually Bigtech) AI ring so fervently? If it's the future, is it the right one? #KissTheRing #ai #GenAI #academia #academicchatter

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

The fact that Trump and his MAGA minions are spreading incredibly dangerous disinformation about the emergency response to the catastrophic fires in California is fucking criminal. It’s not even remotely surprising, but it is nonetheless fucking reprehensible.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

Perhaps the most egregiously corporate of academic publishers, #Elsevier have rammed AI into the proofing process of journals, effectively destroying their scholarly reputations. Editors are powerless to stop their beloved journals turning into prohibitively expensive dross. #academicsky

We probably don’t need to have this conversation but, “the biggest reason humans have such a large impact on the environment is that we want to provide a high standard of living for a very large population of people” is very different from “I want human population to crash.”
