The effects of being detained by ICE is monumental. One gap I hope to fill is mental health care.

As we look back
at the semester
my colleague laments
how much of it she spent
getting sick
over and over and over,
she looks at me and says:
“it’s a miracle
you didn’t get sick!”
and as I adjusted my mask
I replied: “sometimes you
have to make your own miracle.”

Video of a student in my town who wrote a political op-ed being grabbed off the street by government agents bsky.app/profile/pale...
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Not sure if something is up with National Science Foundation Grants -- I hope not. This is an invaluable - crucial - program. It funded my grad school education and has done so for many actual scholars as well.
ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS
We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years.

Fighting isn't a tincture of some rare and irreplaceable mineral that you can only use three times and then it's gone. Fighting is a muscle. Fight these cowardly fucks and get better and better at fighting while they learn they aren't going to get anything for free.
