A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

South Minneapolis, I just woke up with my eyes burning, from all the gas on the other side of town, so we need to be paying attention to this too

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

World chess just placed restrictions on both trans women and trans men The International Chess Federation will stop allowing transgender women to participate in women's tournaments. The group said changing genders has a "significant impact" on a player's status.

All you need to know about transphobes/terfs/gender critical people is that they think trans people have an unfair advantage in chess.

πŸ§ͺ I just saw a specific NSF grant termination letter and it is FUCKING WILD.

The letter said "not subject to appeal", which is a **blatant** violation of NSF's own policies and broader cross-agency regulations (regulation below): www.ecfr.gov/current/titl...

NSF just opened itself up to lawsuit.

Carnegie Mellon student with one semester left learns his visa was revoked with no explanation Local universities and colleges across the country continue to report international student visas being revoked.

This international student is incredibly brave for going on the record about his visa suddenly being revoked, including how he has one semester left and his mom has terminal cancer: www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

For real? This should be the *only* response when someone expresses regret or horror over stuff they supported.

Don't dunk on then. Ever.

Always reward the behavior you want to see more of. First amongst that is acknowledging that they fucked up, and want to do better.

For years I’ve contrasted the way that US science allocates cognitive effort from the bottom up via individual scientists responding to career incentives with the way things were done in the Soviet Union, from the top down, by the Party setting rear b priorities.

I can’t do that anymore.

Maura Healey loves talking about what Congressional Democrats should do to fight Republican budget cuts.

But why won't she commit to raising taxes on our state's largest corporations to fight *her own* budget cuts to mental health and recovery services?

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

The fascists should find it hard TO DO EVERYTHING. They should not be able to find people to work for them. People should act like they are invisible. You did not hear them. You did not get that email. Oooh, did you ask for a pencil? I thought you said stencil.

People Have Had Non-Binary Genders for Thousands of Years It's nothing new.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.

But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ‡️

I'm not saying that the Republican Party has entered a dark pact with Moloch, laying the lives and souls of untold millions on the altar of sacrifice and offering up their lifeblood in return for electoral victory, but I am saying that if they DID do that, their policy approach would be identical.
