One of the happiest updates I’ve written since I started following this story. 12 students back in status and maybe more to come. Across the country, students are saying their SEVIS is back.

Amazing papers and panels at the Health, Environment and Anthropology conference @durhamuniversity.bsky.social
Eid Mubarak from Sweden ❤️ in solidarity and hoping for strength in these challenging times. May the tides change for the better of those oppressed and subjected to countless violence and withdrawal of rights
“We’re failing to appreciate the people and institutions who’ve propelled these remarkable advances, undermining them without offering credible alternatives, and risking the loss of future breakthroughs that many patients are counting on,” said @scottgottliebmd.bsky.social
Columbia. Harvard. A lot of pressure on a bunch of less prominent programs with all the programmatic cuts to language and area studies funding
These fuckers are trying to tear Middle East Studies up by the floorboard because they don't want people knowing the truth about Palestine
UPDATE: Hours after filing our amended petition, a federal judge ordered Rümeysa Öztürk can't be removed from the U.S. until further court order. The government must respond to the amended petition by Tuesday at 5pm.
This is a critical next step. We won’t stop until Rümeysa is free.
People disappeared off the streets
Trans people fighting to keep basic civil rights
Disabled people facing mask bans, healthcare & social security cuts

This is a powerful moment for intersectionality. There’s more of us than there are of them.
UNRWA reports that hundreds have been killed since Israel resumed its bombing [genocide] of the Gaza Strip, including 180 children in a single day.

Thank you!
Help please! I used to take the most amazing picture with a tiny little Canon PowerShot. I want a powerful camera with an amazing Auto function that is tiny and discrete and fits into a really small lady's handbag without needing separate lenses or its own camera bag. Any recommendations? Thank you!

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
Prof Ian Cousins explains levels of PFAS deemed "safe" in tap water vary wildly from country to country, with Denmark leading the pack, the US & Sweden taking second place & the UK & EU limping in way behind - with levels of PFAS permissable in our tap water 50x higher than allowed in Denmark. 2/3
The 35-year old man, who committed the deadliest mass murder in Sweden's history, was a native and his name was Rickard Andersson and had licenses to keep 4 guns. The Far Right has gone silent because he was not an immigrant or a Muslim!
Den här historien blir bara mer och mer bisarr.
I samband med ansökan om blockaden begärde Arbetsdomstolen in information om vilka företag som skulle påverkas. Facket gjorde en kartläggning och skickade in informationen. Detta är alltså skälet till uppsägningen😵💫 www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/fack...
