So if you liked DOGE using AI as a permission structure for eviscerating research funding, boy will you love the bottom falling out of the research community when scholars themselves use AI as a permission structure for cutting corners in their research and mentorship.

#tdih 1959, 26,000 high school and college students came from all over U.S. to D.C. to demand 1954 Brown v. Board implementation.
Speakers included Daisy Bates, Harry Belafonte, A. Philip Randolph, Jackie Robinson, Rev. Martin L. King, & Roy Wilkins. 🧵

Holy SHIT that opening story
This is Rex. He found a missing child in 12 minutes on his first tracking mission. "He’s kind of a triple threat," his handler said. He's trained as a therapy dog, explosive detection canine, and missing person tracker. When the girl was safe, Rex shifted to comfort mode. 14/10 (IG: arapahoeso)
NEW: In the middle of the night, the House tried to pass a bill that would have given President Trump and Stephen Miller the power to spy on Americans without a warrant for years to come.
It failed due to pressure from the public — but they plan to vote again in just 2 weeks.
It is shocking.
an incredibly important project by Connie Walker — most Canadians don't know that the government has an archive of 38,000 residential school survivor testimonies, which are slated to be destroyed next year www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...
I am constantly shocked by how many educators use it.
Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

"Instead of attempting to remove the honest misapprehensions of the people, they cater to their prejudices, and take advantage of them, to gain low, dirty, temporary, local triumphs."

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Man, we have the same conversations every time a major story like this breaks. It’s exhausting. It is SO HARD to publish a story about gendered violence for a whole host of reasons, a main one being that victims (rightly so!) don’t want to talk.
Highest-yield intervention on flights is masking. A well-fitted N95/KN95 (no gaps) during boarding, flight, and deplaning is one of the most effective tools you have.Transmission risk is highest during boarding/deplaning.Aircraft ventilation works well in flight, but not as well on the ground.
Love that the archive of dogs shows up in the last one.
Here are my top 10 WORST dogs!
A black and white photo of Katherine Johnson, the "Hidden Figure" that sent man into space
A photo of Vanessa Wyche, director of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil service member
Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.
And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history
The incredible team at @inquirer.com continues to be all over this story. The revised approach the administration proposes here is very typical in recent years, qualifying statements about Washington’s enslaving by pointing to his statements in opposition to it.

A perfect snapshot of the MAGA GOP attitude towards democracy: “In North Dakota, Utah and South Dakota, legislatures are sponsoring measures on the November ballot that would raise the threshold for approving citizen amendments to 60 percent, not a simple majority.”
“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”
“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.”
-Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University
This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.
NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA
Yet another state attempting to crush higher education by hampering decision-making by those best qualified to make decisions.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments about birthright citizenship. Here, for the NYTimes and with Kate Masur, I offer a view of what those of you who think historically should be listening for. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/o...
Trump is flat wrong when he claims that birthright citizenship was intended only for the "babies of slaves." Martha Jones and I have the receipts.

Returning to this as the ignorance takes my breath away.
I'm a literary #translator. This means is that I know a number of #authors. Some I count as personal friends.
Most of them don't make enough money from writing to write full-time. They fit writing round their "other" job – evenings...

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
