"DBT-A remains the sole well-established intervention for reducing SITBs, with replication by multiple independent research teams."

JD Vance was just ruthlessly booed at the Olympics during the Opening Ceremony when he was shown on the screen. But you would never know by watching the broadcast on NBC.

Reminder there are still 2000 active goons destroying our city and kidnapping civilians to such an extreme extent that kids cant even go to school normally

If you think they’re building more detention facilities, increasing mass surveillance, and growing the size of ICE just to deport undocumented immigrants, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Continuing to fund ICE is enabling what we all know is coming next.

hey European hivemind, I need some help...PhD students here, especially foreign ones, are feeling a lot of concern related to evolving immigration restrictions here. Those students are increasingly looking to postdocs in EU. To help advise them better, what are expectations for postdocs?

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

Minnesota ICE shooting live updates: Driver fatally shot by immigration agent Follow the latest news after an ICE agent fatally shot a 37-year-old woman after a group of individuals began to block an immigration-related operation.

"A man with raised arms who identified himself as a physician asked ICE agents if he could check the woman's pulse but was denied, according to both Heller's account and the video."

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Hey. Fat people also deserve food. Fat people using snap benefits deserve to eat guiltfree. Going without will not make them instantly skinny, and in some cases, like those with diabetes, not eating on a set schedule can exacerbate health problems. Being fat does not equal laziness or weak morality.

UNC Research Uncovers Ways to Address Early Suicidal Thoughts in Children | Newsroom A new study is uncovering ways to assess early suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children as young as 5 –years old.

no child should have to face scary thoughts of suicide on their own. yes, it’s sad that young kids have them. But it’s our job to figure out how to help. I’ve got a few studies going to do just that. First look at this work here: news.unchealthcare.org/2025/10/unc-...

Great study! A general implication is that when we infer effects of retrospectively measure variables on outcomes, we’re largely just seeing the effects of how people are currently feeling.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Totally agree! Your client(s) are lucky to have you (and you, them). 😁

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.

So, here it is. Thanks to a new state law that was NEVER DEBATED, Indiana University has committed itself to abolishing majors in African-American/African Diaspora Studies: American Studies; Art History; French; Italian; Religious Studies etc. DOZENS of majors. www.ipm.org/news-section...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Applicants - this year may feel especially heavy. Hope this brings you a little direction, hope, and a reminder that you’re not alone.

You are the future. Let your voice shape what comes next.

I know I'm a pretty passive follower but I wanted to say thank you for your work and voice.

If they want us to give up, that's a good sign that we should not give up. Doing the work (especially your work) is resistance. And, if nothing else, remember that spite is an excellent motivator at times.
