Slowly but surely, though, she’s recovering! ❤️🩹 If you’d like to join the effort to support her healing (and ultimately help her to get home), here’s the link! 🙏

The difference between Oregon media and LA media is pure white supremacy.
It is news in LA when they kidnap a Mexican American USA citizen into ICE.
This happened in Portland Oregon too and zero media about it. Zero city council people asking questions. Wyden and Merkley refuse to look into it.

Netanyahu is under criminal indictment in Israel and facing an international arrest warrant for war crimes in Gaza.
Trump is a convicted felon who has spent years trying to stay in power to avoid jail time.
How many lives will be lost so two men can keep living above the law?

America’s brain drain will take one of two forms: dedicated scientists and academics uprooting their lives or staying here to work in finance or tech. Either way we’re about to lose a generation of scientific progress.

Europe’s choice is clear.
To put science at the heart of its economy.
To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.
And to welcome talent from all over the world.
I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

DHS worker: “So you receive Social Security disability?”
Me: Yes! At least until those DOGE clowns take a chainsaw to it.
Worker: *dry chuckle*
Me: I know you can’t say anything, but I can! 😊

💯 would join a cabbage cult
...and I felt the presence of the Great Cabbage in the sky which conveyed to me, without words, that life, like a cabbage, is bitter and delicious at once. And then the light faded and I came back to my dinner plate and I took a bite of rotkohl and knew I must spread the Gospel of the Cabbage.

This book—like my life—emerged weirdly. Had to cancel readings, launch. If you feel able or want to, you can help this little book with a big heart along by sharing? Maybe you know someone who could use a story like this right now. Books find us. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/726930...

Along with Bukele's prison videos, this, from the White House yesterday, is one of the most dehumanizing things I've ever seen posted to a government social media account. And that includes full-blown dictatorships.
