Whether in this lifetime or the next, I hope anyone who's ever doubted how badly people with ME/CFS want to get better gets to experience it for themselves.

I can't be all turn the other cheek about it. I hope they suffer firsthand and in their pain they'll find out just how wrong they were.

In the firing line, as ever, are the UK’s hundreds of thousands of ME/CFS patients. As a practitioner once remarked, “the bastards don’t want to get better”. If there is one characteristic all the ME/CFS patients I’ve come across have in common, it is a desperation to get better.

I often think about how tethered my reach is to these platforms and how I would communicate with an audience without them. It would be really, really hard

I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

What Trump is doing here in failing to defend David Adler is a threat to Jewish safety because Trump is saying Jewish safety is conditional on agreeing with him.

Too many obsess over students wearing keffiyehs when basic rights are being taken away.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

A must read for ANYONE who wants to understand why Black women are experiencing a uniquely bad labor market and why the 300,000 number isn't telling the full story.

Dr. Valerie Wilson gets deep into the data around job losses and why paying attention to Black women matters. #blacksky

What’s behind rising unemployment for Black workers?

For the last five years, I’ve given the same answer in response to questions about any one-month increase in the Black unemployment rate. Given the relatively small sample size used to calculate the n...

Wondering where ‪@erinbiba.bsky.social is? Suspended. Officially, it's b/c 2 weeks ago, she posted an accurate description of the End Times scenario Christian Zionists believe in (all Jews convert or die), & typing this *apparently* encouraged violence or self-harm. Unofficially? Feels sketchy AF.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
