Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

UN agency say that tactical pauses do not allow for adequate aid to enter Gaza

I’ve been a clinic escort for 21 years. FACE barely keeps protesters away from the door. It doesn’t prevent them from filming patients or photographing license plates or trying to divert patients under false pretenses.

Yet we know that without it, they will be emboldened and more dangerous.

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

Observe that the one that complied and the one that didn't comply are treated exactly the same way.
Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)

Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

Trying to cut out single use plastic is as difficult as trying to cut out fossil fuels - no matter how hard you try, the stuff has seeped really, really deep into the basic structures of food and transport

As this great piece lays out, govt's have to actively kill this terrible cycle:
My no-plastic life: I tried to cut out single-use items for a month – and it almost broke me
Sourcing fruit and veg without wrapping was hard enough, but finding an eco-friendly way to brush my teeth was its own world of pain. And as for my 6pm crisps fix – forget it
