World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

Usha Vance's mother now has a unique national platform. I'll applaud her work to champion Diversity Excellence & Inclusion when she uses that platform. #DEI
Her son-in-law J.D. called professors "the enemy" for godsakes. How hard can it be to speak out against his fascist drivel?

She advanced DEI at her university. Her son-in-law, Vice President JD Vance, wants to end it nationwide.

It is not new for countries to sell citizenship or residency status through investment or outright purchase.
When the U.S. does it, however, it is entirely different.

Before it's taken offline, I want you to know about the NASA website where you can learn about the stratospheric ozone hole and check on how it's doing. It has cool movies like this one, showing the growth of the ozone hole during the Austral spring last year.

I’m not sure what the coming months, years will look like in academia, but we have already seen universities roll back any courses or programs that appear DEI related. We are all scared for our jobs, our research. This quote helped center me and remind me how important pushing back is

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

I have reported on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in various fields for several years. DEIA just means acknowledging how systems have discriminated against different groups of people—in many cases for several decades—and strategic efforts to give those people jobs and opportunities.
