Good news! Judge James E. Boasberg just issued a serious warning to the Justice Department, signaling that he may open a formal contempt investigation into whether the Trump administration violated his order to stop deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador back in March.

You may have heard that the UC decided to cancel the Presidential Postdoc program, a decision which lots of folks found incredibly short-sighted. But we just got an email from UC Pres Milliken that the fellowship program is back, baby! (at least for the time being, but hey, it's something)

This is SUCH an important thread for white people (men especially) to read and learn to let go of your defensiveness around white privilege because you are not just harming others you are harming yourself with it!!!
One of the most liberating truths I’ve learned, and the one that white folx, particularly white men, still struggle to face, is this:
The myth of white supremacy explains your behavior.
It does not, and has never, determined my value.

Hank, thanks for your recent video where you emphasize that there is no biological basis for the social construct of race. Please, more of this. Sci Comm needs to spread the word of how "science" is weaponzied to dehumanize. The piggy comment is not science related, but it is vicious dehumanization.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.
