They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists.
Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table.
FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.
I’m offering a lightly used set of regalia in UC Berkeley colors to a junior faculty member, preference for a mom and 1st gen scholar. DM me your details— I’ll ship for free.
Good for you for sharing the news & for being the light for others facing a similar path. We all benefit from transparency & guts - thank you.
Doors have opened before and they will again. 💕
The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...
The complete destruction of American cognitive science is happening right now
U of Minnesota has named a new School of Nursing scholarship after Alex Pretti.

“As more people experiment with generative AI as a search tool, mistakes like these can damage reader trust when they believe they are going with a publisher’s top pick—and then purchasing a TV that’s not even part of their recommendations.”

Excited to announce THREE new publications in the last couple weeks.
Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.
Just to underscore:
Trans people, we aren't "issues".
Me, I'm not an "ideology".
I'm a human, like anyone else.
The only "ideology" here is those bigots who use such rhetoric in their effort to dehumanize trans people — because they want us gone.
I’ve never felt unsafe in this bougie neighborhood a day in my life. This is a 25 mph zone, full of fancy bars and restaurants, a curling club, salons, boutiques, and one of the busiest coffee shops around. They are doing their damndest to wreck everything here.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Dear God.
A journalist recently decided to apply out of curiosity. She has critiqued ICE, did not fill out their background check questionnaire (self-report your crime history), failed the drug test, and still received an offer. So no, they’re not really vetted it seems. www.klcc.org/podcast/oreg...

Very cool idea to view research studies as opportunities for science communication! A more thoughtful approach to debriefing and other aspects of research might help the public better understand how science works and why it is valuable. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/xge0...
Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

A doubly old 'Christmas tree' this #FossilFriday! This was taken on Dec. 23 2010 during my 1st trip to Antarctica & shows a large fossil tree from the Triassic, 240 million years ago. The locality is high in the Transantarctic Mountains, above the Antarctic icesheet 🌿⛏️🏔️ Happy holidays!

Russia destroyed 100% of Odesa’s energy infrastructure. All substations were destroyed by missiles and drones.
The city has been completely left without electricity, hot water, and heating for over one million people, including all critical infrastructure.
so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings.
insanity.
There's always one detail that will crack your heart entirely open.
The TA leading the study session where the shooting occurred, and later the professor, went to the hospital to be with their students. This is the Brown I know and love. Heartbroken for everyone. 💔
“Most of us live off Hope”
Ever true 💔
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
