Corey Booker voted this afternoon to keep sending bombs to Israel, which is much, much more meaningful and important than a speech about values, even if it did last 25 hours.

It’s always “We launched these tardigrades into space!” “We froze them to absolute zero!” “We threw them into an erupting volcano!”
Never “We took these tardigrades on a holiday. They’re getting tiny massages and sipping little umbrella drinks on the beach.”

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Yes. And on a related note, I’m bewildered by how anyone who lived through the original HIV/AIDS epidemic can treat COVID like it’s a cold.
I’m struggling with how many people in their 30s and younger have zero understanding of what HIV did to the world.
And that it’s not gone.
And that the only things containing it *in any way* are publicly-funded programs that have now been defunded and stripped of experts.

I think about this book every day, especially now.
Rereading @danmcquillan.bsky.social and: "What's at stake with AI is not merely bias and unfairness but assimilation into far-right political projects. For fascist ideologues who glorify violence, AI's tendencies towards epistemic, structural and administrative violence are not flaws but features."

Target’s stock plummeted by ~ $27.27 per share by the end of February, erasing about $12.4 billion in market value.
The drop came on Feb. 28, the designated economic blackout day, and coincided with mounting backlash over the retailer’s decision to abandon its DEI commitments.

I wanna work with the libs, ok. Mostly because we need the numbers. But like… I’m REALLY gonna need you to do a few things for this to work out.
1) Stop thinking ANY of these rich people are going to save you.
2) Stop being surprised when they don’t.
3) Stop blaming us when they don’t.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

The ICE abduction of Mahmoud Khalil is a trial balloon for this authoritarian administration to test how easily they can disappear political dissidents across the board. It's vital that everyone speak out-- especially those with mainstream platforms. By demonstrating widespread civil society
