Holy smokes. This affects nearly every family I know, including my own. fox59.com/news/telehea...

POV: You're 16, believe being in advanced placement math class means you're a once in a generation genius, and have just discovered Reddit.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

The fact we have become this stupid and cruel and awful of a country in real time Would be a god damn satire worthy of VOLTAIRE If it wasn’t completely in earnest and absolutely triggering

Anticipatory malicious obediance

“Loyal public servants have been fired and had their job offers revoked. As a result, our country has lost not only valuable knowledge from experienced workers but also new ideas and energy from people who were excited to help make things better.” trumpcostsamerica.com

We’ve been ringing the alarm about the dangers of repro data collection but it’s not just period trackers you should be concerned about. Uber/Lyft + other apps tracking geolocation data are also risky for abortion seekers. https://tinyurl.com/2p89nr74

Are y'all heading out this weekend to a protest, picket, community event, library, supermarket etc...? Look at this terrific handout created by @birchbot.bsky.social. Thanks to them for this.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Legal centers across the country are preparing immigrants without legal status for various scenarios as the Trump administration ramps up enforcement operations. We visited one in California.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Like bureaucracies from the worst nightmares, many so-called "AI" systems serve simply to deny people's rights, protect the wealthy, and obscure the real responsibility ("the AI decided!" - how convenient, as AIs can't be held accountable) Great reporting from @loisparshley.bsky.social

Algorithmic necropolitics, quantified

AP finds that the Israeli military stored 13.6 petabytes of data on Microsoft servers, and usage of OpenAI/Microsoft tools was 200x higher than the week before Oct. 7. If there was any doubt of US tech companies and complicity in Israeli apartheid. apnews.com/article/isra...

We're in dire need to keep raising money because of the expenses of keeping all of the eSIMs topped up. For the latest about our project: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/01/29/c...

If you do not view - Black - NGC - Indigenous - disabled - women - lower class -immigrants As people When you design software for “people”/ users You will make choices that enforce that and MUST ADJUST FOR IT Like you adjust for altitude in baking

Hard agree. Remove sex and gender markers from ID cards

do democrats have the house? no. but do they have the senate? also no. but do they have the court? again, no. but do they have any sense of dignity, or even the political instincts to feign dignity? how many times must i say "no"!

LIDAR archeology stories, esp from mesoamerica, always have a spot in my heart. in... 2010? doing fieldwork in belize, i went to a talk where a professor described preliminary results using LIDAR and how this might be a way to find field sites if they can just get funding to get planes to do passes.

Come on students!

The kids are alright

More of this please

Where GOP is faced w the fact that they represent poor people GOP has spent decades free-riding off of Democrats who defend the poverty programs that benefit GOP constituents They SO deserve the “politically difficult” position they are now in www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Jack Posobiec, a prominent influencer, has a long history of promoting antisemitic and white supremacist content. He traveled to Ukraine with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

From my guest lecture last week.

Starting a new thread here for updates inside the courtroom for Luigi Mangione's follow-up appearance, which I'm anticipating will be very brief.

See you in court

Twitter is now an American right wing disinformation machine interfering in global politics. Your participation in it, is collaboration and nothing less.

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

DEI initiatives are still legal. Universities need to stand their ground. A Friday gift to your university's General Counsel Office - courtesy of an all star lineup of civil rights lawyers and scholars. You're going to want to read this.

Underscoring here the network effects of getting folks to join Signal. And even without some concern over govt surveillance it's worth cutting corporate surveillance.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

1. Alabama, in a rush to pass an anti-trans law defining sex, may have also just formally greenlit sex-based segregation in many settings. The law, recently signed, ends legal recognition of transgender people. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The highest ranking trans person in the federal government was fired last week amid the broader purge. It was certainly political and targeted. 19thnews.org/2025/02/amy-...
