this NYT headline doesn’t even try to accurately reflect the substance of their own article, which is entirely about how Harvard has moved at every opportunity to appease the authoritarian trump administration (despite faculty calling for the uni to defend freedom of speech, higher ed, democracy).

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

"Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for." – Seamus Heaney

Press release: All political parties in Greenland stands united against Trump’s statements on annexing Greenland. People demonstrated all over Greenland today to protest against the outrageous aspirations. #greenland #kalaallitnunaat #glpol #inuit #united naalakkersuisut.gl/Nyheder/2025...

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Kinda jealous of people who live in countries that aren’t one big car dealership for a car that explodes

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

WE ARE HIRING. Interested in ocean mixing? Come work with us in the ARIA-funded POLEMIX project to create and deploy a float-based mixing observing system in the subpolar North Atlantic. Applications here: jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx... @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social @noc.ac.uk

Here’s the reality: This government—despite what they’d have us believe—cannot simply do whatever it wants. The moment we accept that bullshit, we become complicit in this blatantly authoritarian move by the president and his administration. With a loud, collective voice, we must say: fuck this!

This is the beauty of #TeslaTakeDown. There is in fact no "leader" and it's a decentralized and now GLOBAL set of direct actions. Sorry Elon, keep crying.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

we got that fire 🔥 #teslatakedown #boston thank you BABAM (Boston Area Brigade of Activist Musicians) for bringing the party 🎺🥁 @heerecomestreble.bsky.social

nobody elected Elon Musk — he bought his power at our expense and he’s using it to steal from us. don’t take my word for it, take it from hundreds of Bostonians who showed up to #teslatakedown #boston

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

The Boston Tesla protests are so much fun!! Chanting, dancing, music, and supporting democracy! Join us in downtown Boston at 888 Boylston Street every Saturday from 12pm-2pm, or find another event near you actionnetwork.org/event_campai... #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla

#teslatakedown #boston on Boylston Street right now! and every Saturday 12-2

This is how you know that your tactic has broken through. You start getting absolutely tedious & pedantic *columns* in newspapers that previously ignored you.

Women’s March in Boston today was incredible! There must have been thousands of people marching. Heard many chants of “Elon Musk has got to go” outside the downtown Tesla store! We’ll be there again tomorrow March 9 from 12-2pm #TeslaTakedown

What's hilarious is that the groups who got this rolling are tiny, not funded at all (some chapters of bigger groups then jumped in). We buy our own sharpies/cardboard! #TeslaTakedown has become an enormous nationwide wave because PEOPLE HATE WHAT HE'S DOING. So, uh, good luck with the threats...

wow www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk is illegally firing thousands of federal workers, including many veterans. Next he wants to cut Social Security and Medicaid. You can help stop him by protesting with us. We'll be meeting in Boston this Sunday 3/9 at 12pm. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

Please pass the word around… This week’s #teslatakedown Boston picketline will take place on Sunday March 9 at 12-2pm. Following this week, it’ll be every Saturday at Noon. Bring friends. Details here: www.mobilize.us/teslatakedow...
