A masked ICE agent sprayed Rev. David Black, Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, directly in the face outside the Broadview ICE facility.

Don’t be a piece of shit white nationalist like this Gestapo fuck.

The Superintendent’s Bio Seemed Too Good to Be True. It Was.

"How could someone the government says should be removed from the country have risen to lead the public school system of a large American city?"

That's a framing for a newspaper that's just one step away from being state media. Is that what the @nytimes.com wants?

The Superintendent’s Bio Seemed Too Good to Be True. It Was.

There's plenty of complexity to the story of Ian Roberts, the Black Iowa superintendent arrested by ICE.

But the way the @nytimes.com chose to frame this article is racist and shameful.

What an amazing opportunity to do impactful work in bioimage analysis!!!!

The caccio and pepper study is nobel worthy

It’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry Eve, and you know what that means - it’s time for the annual survey!

Who will win this year’s chemistry Nobel? Wrong answers only.

Is the same reason why imposing martial law would be ineffective. What is true is that I think lots of people want the big showing not understanding this is won by the small local showings

I just emailed my "Silence" essay to the Presidents/Chancellors and Provosts of the 9 Compact universities as well as those from the 4 orgs with which I have been formally affiliated.

This picture is from 1992 in LA and using it in this post and story shows terrible news judgment.

I think the science is awesome! Just think is a medicine thing lol

I would even go as far as saying that the point of STEM is also about the process of the mind and reasoning but THAT IS NOT WHY WE TEACH IT. And because we teach it as memorization thta is why chatgpt is good at cheating for it

Just please don’t give it to GLP-1s

AI ate my homework: My experience with the University’s AI toolkit I don’t understand AI enough to properly dislike it. And I’m curious as to why the University is pushing this tool so much if it inherently devalues learning. So I immersed myself in artificial intell...

Opinionated science Nature Chemistry - When the facts can’t speak for themselves, scientists can give them a voice, argues Michelle Francl.

Why should scientists write op-eds? It's tempting to say the facts ought to speak for themselves. But the facts are largely whispering among themselves in the scientific literature. They need us to give them a voice. How? Advice in my latest @natchem.nature.com Thesis rdcu.be/eJlGL #chemsky 1/3

People in authoritarian regimes have perfectly normal lives. They go to school. People go to parties. They work. You know how I know? My grandfather was very high up on the DOJ during authoritarian mexico. He literally was part of organizing disappearing ppl. And most ppl just lived their lives

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Face à l'explosion du racisme quotidien, dans le discours public et systémique, la baisse dramatique du pouvoir d'achat et la destruction de la sécu... on l'oublierait presque mais le gouvernement à pris un clair revirement "pro-pollution".
On va le payer...

I don’t think that the United States military murdering Venezuelans at sea is getting anywhere near the attention it should

😭😭😭😭

queen shit, rest in peace

There is no need to compare ICE to a foreign group when the Klan—a home grown group of masked men who terrorized communities of color—is right there for comparison.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Remembering Quintard Taylor: Historian of the Black West and beyond Dr. Quintard Taylor taught history at the University of Washington and created BlackPast.org, an online collection of global Black history. He died Sept. 21, 2025, at the age of 76.

How could a man who never set foot in a library until he was in college create what is considered the most extensive online collection of global Black history?

Maybe it had something to do with the story Dr. Quintard Taylor's father told him when he was a young boy.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Journalism that fails to infuse a historically informed lens is akin to covering the smoke but never asking who lit the fire. History-centered journalism should be the framework within every newsroom.

BREAKING🚨 Journalist Mario Guevara has officially been deported Friday from the United States back to his native El Salvador. This is a shameful erosion of press freedom in the U.S. — the first time that CPJ has documented this type of retaliation related to reporting.

Holy shit those poor babies 😭😭

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

Love to be a Jew who doesn't live in Israel or have anything to do with the Israeli government and who has publicly opposed the Gaza genocide for a long time, but who still dares to talk about being Jewish publicly.
