Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

It sure would be a shame if someone filed a FOIA request for all emails received by [email protected] in 11 days or so.

The people who keep on hammering the useless 'If you didn't vote you voted for Trump' line would be more materially helpful in applying that logic to something that actually makes sense, like every time you remain(ed) silent in the face of discrimination, even microaggressions, you endorse(d) it.

An Israeli sniper shot dead the Palestinian child Zakariya Barbakh at Al Awda roundabout central Rafah city, southern Gaza, they then opened fire on a young man who tried to retrieve the child’s body in a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement.

You could look up your local unhoused and underserved community resource group, Planned Parenthood, &c, & ask them what kind of help they need. Or search for other volunteer opportunities near you. Or even just talk or plan w/ friends about what you want to work at making different. Anything helps.

yes, mask blocs and disabled people are doing beautiful work in getting N95s to L.A. residents suffering in smoke and “haha, look who needs masks now, you brunch-loving virus-denying fucks" is not it be kind. everything is awful

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

Reminder: If you see a text-based image (like a screenshot of Twitter or an excerpt from an article) without alt-text on here, l @alt-text.bsky.social will automatically generate alt text for you. It’s more helpful than scolding people about not using alt text and is basically zero effort.

For the past three months, Israeli forces have blocked or allowed the interruption of every aid mission attempted by the UN into north Gaza, as officials warn that famine may be ongoing in the region and Palestinians languish without water and other basic needs.

I know we all have disaster fatigue, but the reason why historic LA fires get so much coverage is because there are more people in greater LA county than in most US states

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

I think we’ve only seen the tippiest top of the iceberg in terms of the effects of this assassination.

whatever you feel about this you have to admit it's rare for a radicalized man who's frustrated or angry and ready to choose violence to actually correctly identify the source of their suffering, instead of just blaming and killing women and minorities.....

If our liberal, capitalist societies were as just as they claim to be, we’d be talking about social murder by corporate executives and bought political leaders the way we do more visible homicides.

Out of all the work I've done on Syria I think this is my favourite. It includes a lot of digital detective work, Russia stupidly providing key evidence, and Forensic Architecture doing clever things with 3D models, all to ID one chemical weapon www.bellingcat.com/news/2020/04...

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

Between Assad fleeing (and maybe having his plane shot down) and the CEO killer with the backpack of Monopoly money, I feel like humans are finally getting in sync with the orcas! 🤣

The absolute horrors of the Assad regime exemplified by Saydnaya prison. Many prisoners are not freed yet bcs the rebels cannot get to them as they are 3 floors underground. #Syria

As we prepare for to confront Donald Trump’s second term, we can study the various struggles of the first Trump era in order to refine a sense of strategy and historic context. crimethinc.com/thetrumpyears This is a chronology of resistance and direct action under the first Trump administration.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Years ago on Twitter a guy I knew slightly IRL told me Irish media is completely leftwing. I asked him to name a leftwing Irish media personality, I came up with three names (two centrists). He didn't name any. It was then it struck me that 'leftwing' to these guys means you can't be openly racist.
