"Find your political home" remains, for me at least, the single best guiding star in times of crisis and chaos.
Individuals can doomscroll and post and have big feelings; groups can take meaningful action. Maybe it's an activist org, union, student group, career, collective/crew, etc (1/3)

Reminder: the Trump admin put a 22-year-old in charge of the country’s domestic terrorism prevention office.
He graduated college last year. And has no known national security expertise.
But he did work for the Trump campaign.

If you or someone you are protesting with gets hit by one of these compounds, knowing how to act can help alleviate symptoms and provide relief.
Read about what you need to know about these compounds, and what to do if you’re affected by it.

Very good to have these days of empowerment and unity as our cities gird for the militarized assaults on our immigrant neighbors by ICE coming up soon. What happened in LA is coming to us. Now is the time to take courage from our neighbors, and stand strong.

Having conversations about the mental and physical fitness of the public servants we elect is important and necessary. We know they are important in our families, even when difficult. It's not disloyal, even if it FEELS that way. Not being honest about these things just creates more problems,always.

I created a R script to see how many times one of those words came up in my recent NSF grant submission. The answer was 355 (!) times. Laughing but crying. Mostly crying.

Between his attacks on NIH, NSF, and higher ed generally, Trump has very nearly placed a moratorium on public scientific research in this country, yet legacy media seems determined to frame it exclusively as a snit over Harvard.

I would listen to WIRED. Maybe get copies of your medical records now?
Much of the IT and cybersecurity infrastructure underpinning the US health system is in danger of a possible collapse following a purge of IT staff and leadership at the Dept. of Health and Human Services, four current and former agency workers tell WIRED.
HHS Systems Are in Danger of Collapsing, Workers Say
The purging of IT and cybersecurity staff at the Department of Health and Human Services could threaten the systems used by the agency’s staff and the safety of critical health data.
