Another Ivy League psychology professor just lent his credentials to an organisation which promotes scientific racism. Don’t think psychology’s biggest problem has anything to do with p values

Trump Calling Troops Into Los Angeles Is the Real Emergency www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/o...

It’s about fuckin’ time! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Palantir posted a response to my story on X earlier today. I’m not on that platform anymore, but the NYT said:

And as a Jewish person, I don't want incidents like today in Boulder or two weeks ago in D.C. used as justification for preemptive clampdowns on those protesting peacefully for Palestinians. It all just needs to stop.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Amnesty UK documents Hamas repression of protests, calls for end to crackdown

A student said to me at an event today, ‘I’d love to speak out and say stuff but I can’t because I’m on a visa.’ What has happened to America? Trump and Rubio and MAGA have killed free speech and the First Amendment in this country.

I firmly believe that there is a part of everyone that wishes to tell other people what to do, and that part must be vigorously restrained

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

Government seizure and evisceration of our private universities will do zero to improve replicability in science—who value vastly exceeds “commercial adoption”—or to create Conservative faculty, or to guard civil rights for ANY Americans. But it will centralize power for himself.

He won’t

this entire paragraph is Stephen Pinker openly saying, "I think race science is real and correct."

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

*deletes doomer post about the prospects for a free palestine*

This is how you manufacture consent for genocide. If you blame those of us who peacefully protest for violence we did not commit or endorse, you undercut our movement. Maybe that’s your goal.

Violence of this kind is not only unethical, it also lacks strategy and efficacy. It’s counter-productive to the anti-genocide movement www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Don’t let them exploit this attack in DC @timothysnyder.bsky.social snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

Trump is engaging in white supremacist conspiracy theory bullshit about 'white genocide', while actively assisting in a livestreamed very real genocide in Gaza. Horrifying times.

The Zelens’kyi ambush was antisemitic, and this one was racist. Good presentation here by NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Not just often, but basically always. We’ve tons of data on this. And again, the capacity to work hard is luck, ask anyone with a fatigue inducing chronic illness. As is talent and anything else you attribute your success to. None of it’s magically free from luck.

fuck israel

This would be an obvious act of ethnic cleansing under international law.

Two months have passed and over 200 people are still unlawfully imprisoned in an El Salvadoran concentration camp. Kidnapped and trafficked to another country. No due process. Court orders blatantly ignored. We must not forget, they must be returned, and those responsible must be held accountable.

There’s a fundamental problem with modern media and culture where it’s possible to simply wait out any crisis. If you can go long enough without making a new headline the story just dies and everything moves on, no matter how bad it was. Pretty horrifying stuff.

They’re so utterly captured by the fear of being characterized as “partisan” or “biased” that they are forced into pathological levels of euphemism.

NEW: While everyone from the school paper to national broadcasts talk about the UW occupation earlier this week, we finally hear directly from the protesters in written statements read out loud at a rally Thursday. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/in-thei...

I hope it is very clear what antisemitism looks like, and I'll tell you what, it's not an op-ed condemning genocide. Consider that while Rumeysa Öztürk spent 6 weeks in prison for her constitutionally protected speech, the president's friend wouldn't dream of worrying about such a thing.

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

Rumeysa Özturk’s release has been ordered, but her detention shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Trump’s targeting of students like Özturk is an attack on free speech and our most basic rights, plain and simple. And every Democrat should have been treating it that way.

Zeteo is the only independent media outlet I pay for. Docs like this are why

Beware.

"Donald Trump Is Mentally Unfit for Office. Here’s the Evidence" In my latest piece for Zeteo, I bring receipts and ask the question: Why is the media giving a pass to a 78-year-old who keeps making delusional and unhinged remarks? Read/share/subscribe:

Pretty incredible how some of the most vociferous defenses of trans people in media have come from @jvl.bsky.social. I'm not just saying on the Bulwark. I'm saying in media as a whole. www.thebulwark.com/p/leave-tran...
