This right here. Spreading "perfect victim" or "innocence" narratives is dangerous and cedes ground on the fact that all people deserve dignity, humane treatment, and access to due process. Feeding into perfect victim or innocence narratives isn't just irresponsible messaging, it is copaganda.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

This is a really good point re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I'd like to think what we're doing here is using one obvious injustice to crack the whole situation open, and can get everyone else out once we know what it took to do so (or learn we cannot because he's not supposed to BE IN EL SALVADOR.)

Meanwhile in Alberta. Bodily autonomy is not just an issue related to reproductive rights. It also holds implications for disability justice, mental health advocacy, and harm reduction. Huge red flag any time a govt bypasses consent as a matter of policy.

In the melee, you may have missed it: Rubio is telling State employees to snitch on colleagues for "anti-Christian bias." Said "bias" is defined as not agreeing that right-wing Christians are superior and get to dictate the choices of everyone else. www.salon.com/2025/04/15/m...

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now. And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.

scammers are using LLMs to take up all the slots in community college courses in San Diego as part of a financial aid scam. Hard to see a way this doesn't eventually kill remote learning for these colleges. Huge deadweight loss generated by LLMs.

Sharing from X: "ICE is filing declarations in multiple cases admitting they don't have power to terminate student status, so students whose student records (SEVIS) are terminated remain in valid status. This means colleges disenrolling students (a majority) are punishing them for no reason."

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”
