Fascism is surging in many places around the globe, but Americans aren't hearing about the protests outside our borders. 100,000 Berliners protested at the Brandenburg Gate, and I had to read about it on a French news website. Good people of the world: we must turn out, we must resist.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

In a panel about advocating for science and especially inclusion of historically excluded groups in research. Led by mostly women.
First question from the audience: an old white man with more of a comment, less of a question…..
Should have seen that coming #womeninstem

The loyalty some officers show to Trump after he pardoned Jan 6 rioters is baffling. Do they forget the officers who were beaten and crushed that day? He calls the attackers ‘heroes,’ yet you idolize him. How much disregard will it take for you to see his true colors?

A Black woman named Aliyah was struggling to find work. So, she catfished herself and made a fake profile on LinkedIn named "Emily." Emily had the same qualifications as Aliyah but received 57.9% of interview invites while Aliyah received 8.9%
This is what we mean when we say racism is systemic.

Leaving this here because ICE raids have started all over the country, and it’s vital we get the word out about them in a way that actually helps our neighbors.

To this I’ll add a proverb that I learned from a Chinese person on RedNote this week:
“An egg broken from the outside will destroy the egg, but an egg broken from the inside gains new life!”
“An egg broken from the outside will destroy the egg, but an egg broken from the inside gains new life!”
Truly interesting to watch white people plead for other countries to save them these last few days while simultaneously seeing Black folks hunker down, educate, and refuse to panic.
No one is coming to save you, btw.

Think about how hard it is to do activism in your blue state.
Now magnify that difficulty by ten for leftists in red states trying to do the same thing, only they're oppressed at LITERALLY every angle.
And you want to leave them behind?
That's gross as hell.

If you say we abandon red states, you kill a lot of dear friends of mine so fuck right off with that. We don't leave gerrymandered, vulnerable, decent people behind because of a zip code, you sanctimonious dicks.

"Just move" folks are expected to pony up the cost and labor of packing and moving, and create the job opportunity, housing, dependent family housing, and school and medical requirements for the people they're relocating, too.
Stop victim blaming because you feel powerless.

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.
I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.
