The Onion NYT ad. The headline of the editorial says “CONGRESS, NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR NATION NEEDS YOUR COWARDICE”

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

This will sound weird but love yourself enough to write your own term papers.

It loves democracy (and luvs u back)!

Pasadena knows.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

This is great.

Hats off to @elotroalex.bsky.social for creating this map of abductions of students by ICE.

ICE arrests WA farmworker activist in Sedro-Woolley Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez, 25, has organized on behalf of farmworkers' rights in Washington state since he was 14 years old.

We are heartbroken and outraged to learn that Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez was violently detained by ICE while dropping his partner off at work. He is reportedly being held at a private detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. 🧵

I sincerely think that universities should suspend their productivity standards for scientists and ask them instead to hold town halls in schools, public libraries, museums, shopping malls, and anywhere else and communicate what is being lost with the collapse of the research ecosystem.

Wish someone recorded the racist bully saying the Harvard bit for a hilarious remix. Always the most pathetic brag. It's like my years in NYC when Harvard kids would say, "I went to school in Boston," as if we'd all fuckin' implode if they uttered the name. I'd reply...cool, Northeastern, then?

So classy and smart

lmao what the fuck

America, watch and learn.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

This is completely fucked up. I know everything is fucked up, but THIS is why universities need to stand up and fight, not cave like Columbia did. NOTHING will satisfy them, and all the capitulation just leads to more demands and humiliation.

SCHUMER: FIGHT BACK OR STEP DOWN, NO ON CLOTURE, NO TRUMP/MUSK BUDGET, 9 PROSPECT PARK WEST, MARCH 14, 8AM

Tomorrow morning, 8AM, Prospect Park West & President St, if you're mad at Schumer let's show it.

The Democratic Party is led by the politician equivalent of the dad who went out for cigarettes and never came back

"How do I successfully resist my authoritarian government and keep both loved ones, friends, and strangers safe and alive?"

WATCH: “LET US LEARN! LET US LEARN!”

Immigrant kids at the Tennessee Capitol protested Lamberth & Watson’s cruel bill that seeks to make the Supreme Court let Republicans block undocumented kids from schools nationwide.

As a human rights scholar, I've read countless reports where both Western media + prominent human rights organizations term this as an "enforced disappearance" when this happens in other countries. Wild (and completely unsurprising) how the same terminology is missing when it's happening in the US

My husband ran a successful business and used our local rural post office daily. My elderly neighbor’s meds come through the rural post office.

The post office is one of the only places left open in my rural community. Losing it could quite literally kill my town and my neighbors.

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I don’t remember seeing anything like this before

"The public is going to suffer terribly as a result of this," the source wrote to NPR. "Local field offices will close, hold times will increase, and people will be sicker, hungry, or die when checks don't arrive or a disability hearing is delayed just one month too late."
