The student intifada was an obvious motivator for this compact. Vaguely addressing academic repression without acknowledging this, and without recognizing the complicity of US science in the genocide, is a road to nowhere.

SCOOP: Emails Show Mahmoud Khalil Asked Columbia for Protection a Day Before He Was Detained "I haven’t been able to sleep, fearing that ICE or a dangerous individual might come to my home. I urge you to intervene and provide the necessary protections to prevent further harm."

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

UPDATE: Mahmoud Khalil is being held by ICE in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana, per ICE detainee tracker

Khalil was detained Saturday night from his New York apartment building

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

BREAKING: DHS Detains Palestinian Student from Columbia Encampment, Says Advocates Agents told him his student visa was revoked. But he had a green card. Agents then said that was revoked too.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

With all due respect, US science and US-led international institutions have led to enough destruction and lined enough profiteer pockets out of the Global South. A lesson for US scientists in the Trump regime should be one of humility first, reconstruction and resistance second, not neocon attitudes

university emails these past few days

Just heard my neighbors cheering and my first thought was "did trump die?"

Screenshot from nature briefing email: Dear Donald Trump: A letter from Nature In a first-of-its-kind editorial, Nature addresses US president-elect Donald Trump directly to outline a route to a positive legacy for his administration. It urges Trump to prioritize climate and energy security, to recognize the value of research and collaboration to the success of the United States and the world, and to take care in how plans to reform the government are brought to bear. It also asks Trump to continue the country’s longstanding role as a key member of global organizations that seek solutions to global problems. Nature | 6 min read

This is actually really embarrassing.

Happy New Year everyone 🔥

Instagram "suggested for you" suggesting I follow Luigi mangione

Thanks Instagram

Luigi Mangione tweets: Part 1/3 I used to get bummed in math class when learning theorems: "All the low-hanging fruit has been solved before I was born! If I was alive at the time of Pythagoras I could've easily derived the Pythagorean theorem and etched my place in history!" Part 2/3 But now I feel lucky for my 21st century education. I get to simply download the knowledge of all who came before me, allowing me to stand on their shoulders and ponder new problems they never would've had access to. Part 3/3 If 5th century BC Pythagoras discovered algebraic theorems, If 19th century Darwin discovered the evolution of species, Then what topics does the 21st century mind explore? I'd say evolutionary psychology, primitive neuroscience, and information networks

oh no, the CEO shooter is an evo psych guy. i fear this will politicize my our normally apolitical field of research :/
