Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

How can we rethink and reorganise #ScholarlyCommunication to better advance science? What is the role of #PeerReview? Should #Preprints take centre stage? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #AcademicSky #OpenScience #ResearchIntegrity @elife.bsky.social @learnedpublishing.bsky.social

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that a Florida Sheriff's office violated our client's Fourth Amendment rights by detaining him at ICE’s request and nearly deporting him to Jamaica in 2018, even though he's a U.S. citizen.

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

RFK Jr.’s MAHA Hallucinations www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-mah...

submitted 3 days ago • 1 comment

AI researchers claim there’s “definitive” proof the Health Secretary and his team used AI to write his MAHA report. Some of the 522 scientific references in the report include the phrase “OAIcite” in their URLs—a marker indicating the use of OpenAI.

I thought the (obviously AI-assisted) MAHA report might provide the context for a concrete example of how LLMs fabricate citations. It was even easier than I thought. Neither of the first two citations exist, and even similar papers with that title don’t support the claims made.

Add this to the list of things that would get more expensive for working people under the House GOP’s budget bill: The average family’s student loan payment would surge by $400 a month.

Arkansas' experiment with Medicaid work requirements found no evidence of increased employment but substantial reductions to health care coverage and access. The GOP is still pushing for nationwide implementation in their massive spending bill. buff.ly/fsku3Hl #medicaid #polisky

On May 28, 1830, Pres. Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, forcing tens of thousands of Native Americans west in an event now known as the Trail of Tears. The land seized enabled the expansion of slavery. 84 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdownToSRD
