AI is not inevitable. Its not. We can choose not to use it. We can choose to value honed skills above fabricated, plagiarized, polluting computer drivel. You dont have to use an unethical tool that plagiarized content, trained on slave labor, and advance climate inequity

Attended a faculty devp session today where people talked about "radical love and restorative justice" and I need things to stop being coopted by universities. Colleges are historically spaces of oppression. Most cant even acknowledge theyre built on Indigenous dispossession and enslaved labor. 1/2

Nobody really seems to care about those of us still coviding. But we're having to bear an enormous burden at the cost of 99% of people getting to pretend like there's not a pandemic. It's hard. Like almost everyone I know no longer takes precautions. But yeah, this is a disability justice issue.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Malak. Malak’s husband Fadi is in Egypt and she has been all alone taking care of her two daughters Lina, 6 and Hala, 2 for over a year. Malak has written really eloquently about her situation on her chuffed and I encourage you to read it ❤️

On Wednesday, a leaked draft Health and Human Services budget document revealed, among other sweeping cuts to health- and disability-related services, that Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s department plans to defund protection and advocacy services for people with developmental disabilities.

When I talk about the importance of granting students accommodations WITHOUT relying on formal paperwork this is why it matters. It is DANGEROUS for some people to have diagnoses on their medical records. 1/3

again, this is why wearing a mask is one of the most compelling acts of daily resistance you can engage in. if you changed almost nothing else but start wearing a mask in public indoor spaces, you’re arguably doing more material mitigation to keep you & your community well than this administration.

Verified by Molly Shah and 🦋 On the day of the Pope’s passing — a symbol of humanity and compassion — remember the values he always stood for: kindness and mercy. ❤️ Don’t forget to support my family. If he were still with us, he would have continued standing by our side, just as he always did.😥👏

The Pentagon is in "total chaos" and Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and missteps at the highest levels of the department. "The building is in disarray." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Indeed I’m fearful. We aren’t testing much any more. We’re firing everyone in govt who can help and stripping funding from academic & industry scientists who can fill the gaps. H5N1 is a real threat & US policy puts us all at risk. Me & colleagues Kay Russo, Kamran Khan, & Keith Poulsen discuss👇🏻

What you see: Disabled person out and about. What you don’t see: What it took for them to get out, what it’ll do to them later, the amount of pain they’re in but hiding right now, the sacrifices they’re making to be out, the harm it’s caused them.

An IU professor is being investigated for violating the state’s ‘intellectual diversity’ law based on an anonymous complaint escalated by administration in a case that could cost him tenure. His ‘crime’? Discussing a personal experience being arrested for civil disobedience at an Israeli consulate.

When Roe was overturned, someone asked me what’s next. And I said: eugenics. Old-timey eugenicists were anti-abortion and pro sterilization (with varying opinions on birth control). Because it’s all about who should and who should not be having children. 1/2

They are (as said down thread) protesting for a free Palestine. I don’t think the students have given up on “democracy” I think they’ve given up on the Democratic Party & protests that don’t center the genocide(s) that rot this nations electoral politics. They know this isn’t just about Trump.

The big picture here is that the Trump admin wants everyone to be 1. Having children to sustain the workforce 2. Working And no matter what And if you violate those two goals you are going to be targeted. This is about way more than disability. 1/2

This week 17 CUNY students showed up the SEVIS lists. Some have been offered pro bono counsel by their institution, while others were offered a list of paid counsel or nothing at all. I spent the afternoon talking to a terrified student on an F-1. Like what do we do? 1/

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohamed. And today I have an extra ask which is to email Bluesky to ask for the return of his account (details ⬇️). Mohamed is only 23 and was finishing his software engineering degree but now he’s now trying to keep his family alive.

In fact, it is offensively ridiculous to think that any but a handful of people disappeared by ICE will be able to file habeas corpus, because it relies on them having informed families with connections to available knowledgeable lawyers with time and resources to act instantly.
