Today, the AAUP–AFT is filing the lawsuits Columbia administrators were afraid to: one against Trump’s illegal funding cuts, the other his arrests of political opponents.

AAUP is also showing why faculty need to collectively organize to defend higher ed.

Every time I think we've finally reached max stupid, something else happens to eclipse the last dumb thing to happen. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Disappointed that a British groupchat scandal is like ‘a Tory MP you have never heard of was quite rude to another one you’ve never heard of on WhatsApp’ but the Yanks are just straight up ‘texted WW3 plans to random journo’. Do better, British security liabilities.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

You know, social media sucks and all, but I am very tired of all this doomer shit I'm seeing everywhere that's like "oh well can't counter social media misinformation, it's too hard, the world is over"

Bad guy domination of mass media is not historically unprecedented. Go build relationships

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

A party that hoists up multiple people suspected of rape and sexual assault against women into power is the real threat, not transwomen just trying to live their lives.

You cannot trust the likes of Trump, Hegseth, and Gaetz. They literally want to drag us back to the 1950's.
AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.

"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

You may have been cringe in your life, but you've never been so cringe that multiple corporations had to make multiple social media sites so people could escape your cringe.

There should be no double-jobbing in public office. The SNP has fumbled this from start to finish and allowed the Tories, the party of Douglas Ross, —a man who had more jobs than pairs of socks— to take the moral high ground.

Amateur hour.

Elon Musk is pissing off Trump’s team. Yeah, apparently he wants to be seen as having a say in everything…even when he doesn’t. So, basically, he wants to be Trump. newrepublic.com/post/188501/...

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Me voting Green for the first time at GE24: maybe the SNP will take this as a sign that voters, members and former members are pissed off.

SNP: hold my beer, I have more ministerial idiocy and dual jobbing MP’s for you.
