So it's like 2020 was for the epidemiology and infectious disease researchers?

CHINA MFA Spokesperson ... • 19m
China mourns for the 160+ Iranian girl students killed in an air strike #Shajarah Tayyebeh and condemns all indiscriminate attacks against civilians and non-military targets. Attacks on schools and children are unacceptable as they defy international humanitarian law and human conscience.

The medium is indeed the message, and the message is that slavery is the ghost in the machine. Notice how “AI” is extracting from the collective creativity of humans, from a genre associated with Black political struggles, to produce white supremacist slop rap.

In Southeast Asia, tens of thousands of workers have been trafficked into prisonlike scam centers.

Until recently, the workings of these compounds were mysterious. But late last year, the Thai military took control of a major complex in Cambodia: bloom.bg/4bsyyF3

The figure shows the non-EU workers in the UK with the Brexit referendum and introduction of the new migration regime marked. The counterfactual is shown in red.

How did Brexit impact the UK labour market? This column uses synthetic differences-in-differences to estimate how Brexit changed the trajectory of foreign-born employment. The authors find that ending free movement and introducing a new immigration system in 2021 led to a modest rise in the number of foreign-born workers in the UK, but a dramatic shift in their countries of origin.

Jonathan Portes & @johnspringford.bsky.social find that the decision to leave the EU made only a modest difference to the number of foreign born workers in Britain, but led to a dramatic shift in their countries of origin.

I’m an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics “Scientists are often encouraged to avoid politics. But this advice is outdated, if it was ever correct in the first place,” writes Jenna Norton, NIH whistleblower.

From @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social in @statnews.com: Someone asked if, given the consequences, I now regret my choice to speak up. I would, without question, make the same choice again. In the words of a fellow Bethesda Declaration signer, “You can get another job; you can’t get another soul.”

Same for Palantir - they should not be offered contracts by govt departments or agencies in the UK which gives them leverage over critical state functions. It's an overtly evil organisation run by fascists.

Arguably one of the most misleading terms used by governments when talking about immigration/asylum is the word "voluntary". Voluntary removals rarely are. They are just a choice between leaving under your own steam or being dragged into detention and thrown on a deportation flight.
