Late to the party but YES!!! Our mayor has stood up to the Lege more than once 😎

CNN statement on the arrest of Don Lemon.

A lovely bright spot in an otherwise horrible world

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is the message.

🥺

finally, we're living through precedented times

🤦🏻‍♀️

This was at Excellent Cuisine on Division, which seems to be the go to Christmas place for Portland’s Chinese-Americans, Jews, and atheist hipsters.

Hm, what could happen? 🤔

Let me explain something to white Christian MAGA bigots. For the same reason a Muslim gentleman disarmed a terrorist in Bondi Beach, Australia, a massive amount of Jewish people support Palestinians.

Figure 1 from a paper published in Nature (linked in post). The figure purports to be an infographic depiction of the "Overall working of the framework" for 'explainably' diagnosing autism spectrum disorder. The infographic is plainly nonsense, containing many spelling errors, nonsense words, meaningless images and graphs. Clearly created using generative AI and (crucially) NEVER CHECKED AT ANY STEP OF THE WRITING OR PUBLICATION PROCESS.

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Hi, Abe, I’m Gail but I hardly move mountains! I direct English Language Support Programs for Boise State students, but I’d be more than happy to talk with her! We have a club, too, called the Multilingual Student Alliance. They’re on Instagram, and she could DM them!

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Who we are and what we do

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

Why wouldn't this exact same logic have applied to Hitler? I mean, some of his supporters had puppies and were kind to their grandmas. If you can't call anything fascist unless/until *literally everyone supporting it is a comic book villain*, then you just can't ever identify fascism.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Can you see me? 🤣

Patrons at New Hampshire restaurant shooting prevented worse tragedy with selfless acts, AG says Authorities say patrons at a restaurant acted quickly and selflessly to stop a gunman who opened fire while a wedding was taking place at a New Hampshire country club, averting a worse tragedy.

Yet another attack on knowledge

I find it deeply disconcerting the way they keep “teasing” the big info they have on autism.

If there was a real scientific breakthrough, they wouldn’t wait.

This isn’t about science, it’s about discriminating against neurodivergent people.

It’s eugenics.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Adams will be fired now of course 😒

My god…
