One of the most important things I teach when I teach about the history of the FDA is how supplements are not monitored and tested like drugs are. They rely on self or 3rd party regulation, which often fails in so many ways.

ICE deteve a diretora brasileira durante entrevista para obtenção do green card: "Ao final do que nos disseram ter sido uma reunião bem-sucedida, o policial usou a desculpa de uma copiadora quebrada para enganá-la e fazê-la se afastar do nosso advogado. Uma vez separada de seu adv, ela foi presa."

Justice Sotomayor, once again, get to the heart of the matter here:

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job."

We had a lot of fun writing this! It’s a nice distillation of what we’ve learned over the past three years editing American Ethnologist, and how we have applied our vision for it. Link in 🧵below.

18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza.

Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war.

Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.

As I start advising grad students, I’m concerned by how little funding is available for their brilliant projects.
Even if we change course (& that will take work!), the long-term effects will be devastating. WG noted this in their letter ending Sapiens to focus on research.

I should add that this research was only possible thanks to funding from @ssrc.org's International Diss. Research Fellowship (now defunct), NSF’s Anthro Diss Research Improvement Grant (status: ???) & @wennergrenorg.bsky.social's Diss Fieldwork Grant (the last one standing).

Research needs funding!

‘Israel has built the most efficient starvation machine you can imagine. So while it’s always shocking to see people being starved, no one should act surprised. All the information has been out in the open since early 2024.’

Gooool!

The “deal” that Brown made with the Trump admin is much more extreme than is being reported. It includes government oversight of course evaluations and no barrier to government interference in faculty hiring.

Read it for yourself here:

www.brown.edu/sites/defaul...

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza Israel controls the flow of food. It calculated how much Gaza needs – but data shows how this is being withheld

Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period …

Even if every bag of UN flour had been collected and handed out … starvation was inevitable. Palestinians did not have enough to eat.”

Infelizmente, muitas revistas (acadêmicas) brasileiras não tem mais chamada para tradução. Não sei se te ajuda, mas descobri que, quando é parte de um dossiê, às vezes fica mais fácil, pois as editoras do dossiê conseguem negociar com a revista.
Ando tentando esse caminho para publicar traduções...
