i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.
@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

It was very naive how many STEM people thought Republicans would stop at the humanities
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Just a reminder that a staggering number of Black women have also lost their jobs due to capitulation to this administration. That deserves more outrage.

If you work in higher ed, you need to get your folks together and end the use of course evals or at least bar their consideration in evaluation, promotion, and hiring. This needed to happen yesterday because they don't measure learning, they measure instructor gender, but now it's a snitch pool.

This man is a pet groomer in Iran.
I don’t know anything about this particular kitten, but there are many street cats in Iran, and Iranians often take them in — so pet groomers always have lots of customers.
Wait for the last couple of meows.

If anyone doesn’t see the pattern yet, it’s all about controlling the disbursement of federal funds. Musk wants control of all the federal money to start. Treasury > foreign aid > financial aid/student aid. Next will be IRS, then HUD, HHS, and any programs that fund from the government to public.

yeah as someone who worked in SFF publishing/for NG’s publisher, I have heard a lot of stories that aren’t mine to share directly, but just let me affirm that these allegations are not new nor are they the only ones
A lot of rotten people are seizing on the Gaiman allegations in order to score points against the groups and politics he publicly supported. Please do not let this trick your animal brain into thinking he isn't guilty. The publishing world has horror stories about this guy going back decades.

The prose was...really something. But I wanted to focus on the gender politics of both McCarthy and the fan who tried to romanticize his creepiness, which oozes out anyway.

Trump’s only a “fascist” in that what he says he will do meets the textbook criteria of same, some of his former closest senior advisers define him as such, and he has been laying the groundwork at the state and federal level over the past 4 years to facilitate being one.

Polls are not votes. The candidates are not deadlocked. There is no ahead or behind, even “with 72% of precincts reporting” on election night. The way elections work is they’re 0-0 all the way up until the votes are counted and then someone wins.

From the beginning, the danger hasn't been Trump. He is constitutionally lazy, ignorant, unambitious and just generally not good at things. The danger is from people supposedly in opposition doing fuck all to stop the rest of his coterie, categorically more evil, ambitious and skilled than him.
I have an entire rant with several key points, but the gist is: Send Donald Trump to jail nothing bad will happen. There will be no riots, no demonstrations, nothing that can be done by the system or police or FBI or anyone to stop it. And once it happens, we’ll realize it was never scary.
the powerful: “throwing him in jail might cause a revolution carrying him to a golden throne on a river of populist outrage”
