😂 love that.

National Guard chatter from the front lines in Georgetown:

“You got eyes on this?”

“Could be a weapon.”

“Hold.”

“What are you seeing?”

“Stand down. It’s a falafel wrap. Looks like a male, thin, late 40s with a falafel wrap. Walking a schnauzer.”

“OK. Stay sharp boys. Eyes on the dog.”

The give away was “ordered”. They’d have worn it willingly

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Thank you for fighting this!

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥

If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

No one better to do this than you!

You had nothing to apologize for with the first yellow mustard dog. Post away.

What a warrior.

It's...interesting that the US media is so eager to condemn Biden and his handlers for hiding his aging and not for openly being an accessory to genocide.

(Imagine. Biden spent a lifetime trying to be a good person, and threw it all away for Netanyahu. Now he's destined for Hell.)

Alex Lawson: We're outside the Energy & Commerce committee with folks risking arrest to protest the destruction of Medicaid which is what Republicans are doing right now in the committee room.

This is so vague that it could ban the regulation of any kind of algorithm whatsoever; “automated decision system” is an extremely broad term!

Taking a page out of the Schumer playbook

CBO estimates that the combined effect of Republican Medicaid proposals, allowing enhanced ACA premium tax credits to expire, and President Trump’s proposed ACA rules would increase the number of uninsured by 13.7 million. That would take us back to close to pre-ACA levels.

I’ll be helping to edit a new speciality series at JSSWR on AI + SW. Would welcome submissions broadly, including those that consider wholesale or targeted prohibition of AI deployment within practice.

Proud member of this union.

Hopefully this also finally prompts universities to find some backbone to stand up against similar unlawful threats.

Her announcement video was 🔥

Grant cancelled? 👇

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

This is good but why is it written by six individual faculty and not by the presidents of 400 US universities

Please join with colleagues to oust Schumer from leadership

We are so excited for you to join us!

🚨 New paper!

Medical AI benchmarks over-simplify real-world clinical practice and build on medical exam-style questions—especially in mental healthcare. We introduce MENTAT, a clinician-annotated dataset tackling real-world ambiguities in psychiatric decision-making.
