Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/FyiahsQe

This week marks five years since George Floyd was murdered at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department. His murder was not just an unmistakable act of police brutality, but an undeniable marker of the systemic anti-Black racism that has haunted America since the times of enslavement.

When @kesearles.bsky.social and I began our research we thought we would be studying experts’ experiences w/ *online* harassment. But we quickly realized that was insufficient. Now we speak of tech-facilitated harassment & hybrid forms of harassment.

A 🧵 about what we found and why it matters: 1/

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

US ‘illegally deported’ Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan Immigrant rights advocates say White House violated court order and ask judge to order nearly a dozen people’s return

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

36% of Asian Americans have been harassed in the past 12 months on the basis of race. The progress we made to #stopaapihate is rolling backwards -- as hate in all its forms rises across the US. #taafsummit

1 in 4 Americans have no primary relationship with an Asian American -- and in the face of this lack of interpersonal connection people are getting their info about Asian American increasingly from ... politicians (yikes). #taafsummit

URGENT! The "nonprofit killer bill" is being voted on in House Ways & Means at 2p today (Tues). The bill gives the government sweeping power to strip 501(c)(3) status from any organization — no due process, no trial, just a designation.

Nonprofits are the heart of the resistance. PLS CALL & SHARE!

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone.

So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment.

It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/

UT Austin flagging DEI-related words in ‘routine scans’ of its website Routine audits of the University of Texas at Austin’s website are flagging words related to diversity, equity and inclusion, also known as DEI.

UT Austin has a bot roving their site looking for DEI-esque words after all DEI activities were made illegal on campus by Texas lawmakers. Words include: "LGBTQ," "BIPOC," "immigrants" .... "human" is not on the list but may as well be. www.kxan.com/news/ut-aust...

Donald Trump to kick transgender troops out of US military An executive order could be signed as early as Donald Trump’s first day back in the White House, which would force 15,000 people out of their posts

Trump is planning to kick out all trans* members of the military, numbering about 15k of them in total. Discrimination is always bad business, and this is no exception. The military is already under its recruitment targets. www.thetimes.com/world/us-wor...

Allies and comrades, time to pony up and prevent deportations.

In 2016 it was resist, resist, resist. In 2024 it is community, community, community. I love this edit because community is the essential foundation to withstand whatever comes next.

Thank you so much for coming!
