“She says it was like a horror movie. They were screaming in different rooms” I would argue no one should travel to the U.S. right now because it’s important to vote with your wallet. Don’t spend tourist dollars there Another reason? The threat of being detained by ICE. It’s not safe in America

Inexplicably today is a day I have to hold myself back from doing things (like getting out of bed) bc I have “extra” energy. I know to heal I need to not use every drop. But I usually use every drop doing my normal so “extra” is like… brush my teeth twice instead of once.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

I keep seeing the left image (BCE/CE! ahem) on my socials & this idea that premodern people "evolved" to realism/more figurative (--> "more evolved"), that it was the goal, that more complex interests or forces weren't part of all that --> Is part of white supremacy. Just here to name that today.

“So you are worried about how the government will pay for $8.5bn [for bulk billing] over four years? How about the fact the richest 10% will get $27bn this year in tax breaks from the capital gains tax discount, negative gearing and the superannuation tax concessions” #auspol #TaxTheRich

NEW: Mass layoffs began today at NOAA. Workers were fired by email at the agency which runs the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre & Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre. Services are already shutting down. The most dangerous regime in the world for US citizens is now their own.

I won't be purchasing anything tomorrow unless it's an emergency. Yes, I'm aware that won't fix the world, but I see this as practice for strikes and longer boycotting. Let's go 👍

The NT moving towards more private prison contractors is extremely concerning. Contractors will have the same powers as corrections staff, including use of force, restraints, and weapons. This country must not go further down the path of US-style, for-profit prisons. nit.com.au/20-02-2025/1...

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

Journos finally catching up with a trajectory evident to historians since 2015. Better late than never, I guess. Parents, whatever else they study, encourage your kids to enrol in history units too - while history units still exist. www.afr.com/world/north-... #everythinghasahistory #trumperica

My lab has done studies showing that sex biased host responses determine disease outcome during Ebola virus, MERS-CoV, & SARS-CoV-2 infection across species. Sex is a biological variable. Failure to account for that in viral pathogenesis experiments is just bad science.

I was interviewed yesterday on a Swedish podcast about what’s going on in America right now - as I talked about history, I felt an overwhelming loss and started to cry. I wound up asking Swedish listeners to pray for us - and support those of us standing up in these evil days.

Good news ladies!! “Endometriosis is made up” according to Marty Sheargold 🥳 Turns out I lodged my complaint to Triple M & the Australian Communications and Media Authority too soon. Sounds like it was from the same day as the Matildas/women’s sport comments. HOW do these men get platformed 😭
