Lawlessness is contagious. It is spreading throughout Trump's Justice Department. This is what authoritarianism looks like. It's most potent enemy is the rule of law.

Oppressive and contemptuous of law: "the July 15 firing of Ms. Beckwith occurred less than six hours after she told Mr. Bovino, the Border Patrol chief in charge of the Southern California raids, that a court order prevented him from arresting people without probable cause."

2nd year grad students are no longer eligible to apply. Currently enrolled grad students must be in their first year, whether in a MS, BS-MS, or Ph.D.

Extremely disappointing decision from the NSF today to exclude second-year graduate students from eligibility for the GRFP. I and many other second-year grads purposely held off from applying in our first year to be able to do so now...

Very disappointed on behalf of all the second-year graduate students (including one from my group) who could have applied last year, but who waited until this fall, based on the rule that you can only apply once!

The first act of the next president should be to abolish ICE.

@karenattiah.bsky.social's should get as much attention as Kimmel's and is easily as important.

Putin never invaded Poland, Estonia, and Romania when Joe Biden was president.

Just my two cents! 😅

I know very little of the data. They sound cross sectional? If so, then I don’t know if the null result could be attributable to unmeasured environmental confounds, so a daily diary or co twin could offer something closer to the truth. I don’t think science is about being right/wrong but rather when

Let’s not forget that the association between two constructs may depend on sample and context 🙃

Perhaps no one is wrong is here 😅

Everyday we get more evidence that the most revered organizations in America are willing to help re-segregate daily life. Today, I woke up to the Washington Post and Harvard-organizations ostensibly committed to "truth"-(continuing) to help re-segregation along.

We live in a country where white people are more likely than Black and Latine folks to sell drugs and just as likely to use them. Yet, Black people are disproportionately arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned for drug use more than any other group.
