"Summers will continue to hold the title of president emeritus, and said he expects to continue pursuing his academic interests." -- The Boston Globe

powerful academics getting to retire after being linked to a child sex trafficer is not "accountability" or "facing consequences" or "a reckoning" or "justice" it's just them retiring. These institutions continue to beclown themselves. Divest.

I do think we’ve got a responsibility to really sit with the truth that some Trump administration things we’re horrified by were Obama administration things too, and we just didn’t listen.

yeah like. i just want to write my novel about gay lovers in the arctic not panic about how to flee the country

If you're traveling to the US and using a credit card, consider paying cash when shopping with artists at events!! (Or, leaving a small tip, which can help us cover fees!)

Rainbow with a faint double over a desert valley with barren mountains beyond, the furthest of which is snow-covered. In the foreground, yellow-flowered domes of brittlebrush.

Same here in Riverside Co. this morning. (I also didn't notice the doubling.)

Reminder for people who might forget: Ryan is one of the journalists who used a white supremacist as a source for that Mamdani college application story, without revealing that the source was a white supremacist, which is fucking relevant to the privacy breach in the story!!

Government posters telling Japanese Americans where to report for internment, May 10, 1942

#OnThisDay in 1942, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, setting in motion the expulsion of 110,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast, first into temporary assembly centers and later to 10 inland prison camps in isolated areas of the country. historylink.org/File/310

Today is also the anniversary of FDR's signing of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the forced removal of 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast.

February 19—not a great day in American history!

I feel like the first step of building something better and more equitable is to remove every decision maker that complied in advance (and honestly probably a lot more elsewhere). The same folks can’t be in charge again

#FuckICE

I remain convinced that age-gating social media is largely an effort to keep kids straight, cis and apolitical.

If you’re a Washingtonian, call your legislator.

Here's a curious cougar for this #FurriendlyFriday. I studied a population of cougars between L.A. and San Diego for my PhD and will forever have a soft spot for these cats

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

Chapelle Roan is taking stronger action towards people named in the Epstein files than the US government

Always remember that If they build the camps, they will fill the camps.

Right now Rikers Island, the physically largest jail in the entire United States, is holding under 7,000 people.

ICE's warehouse plans include detention camps which will hold between 8,500-10,000 people in buildings not designed for human habitation.

I cannot count how many unhoused folks in the French Quarter I encounter in hospital gowns or scrubs, wearing their hospital bracelets, only socks on their feet, with dirty dressings over wounds or in medical distress.

This problem is everywhere, because disabled people are disposable in the US.

wealth extraction is the point

So far this month we have sent:

$2,800 in no-questions-asked cash to unhoused & recently housed neighbors

$815 for eviction prevention

$1,200 in utilities to prevent evictions & shutoffs

Thank you for supporting our work & making this possible 🖤🏴
