In 2015, Saudi activist Mousa al-Hashim and his wife Israa al-Ghamgam were arrested for documenting a peaceful protest.
Al-Hashim is serving 17 years in prison, while al-Ghamgam faces a 13-year arbitrary sentence.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
America... boy, I dunno.

Most impressive aspect of @nationalacademies.org #StateofScience talk? Marcia McNutt CAN COMMUNICATE effectively, clearly, and concisely. I continue to believe that effective communication by scientists themselves is critical to rebuilding trust in science and making science bipartisan again.

We've focussed on the big names , Shell , Exxon , BP , but these companies are run by people . People who hide behind those brands to keep their anonymity

These corporations , and their leaders , are committing ecocide & they must be held accountable

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

This is an understatement. We have already lost our scientific edge. Mass personnel cuts, lost grant support, gutting of pipeline programs, and the uncertainty about the future has already impacted our competitiveness and future generations of scientists. We just don’t see it yet. But we will.
To the outstanding civil servants at NIH who are waiting to find out if they are one of the 1200 individuals to be laid off this weekend, we stand by you and know that you worked hard to help the country innovate, find cures, and save lives. This sucks. #MedSky www.rdworldonline.com/nih-layoffs-...
NIH layoffs threaten US's edge in science and health innovation
With weekly government layoffs, one announcement deserves far more attention than it’s receiving: staffing cuts at the NIH.

It’s extremely bad that students are being kidnapped for their opinions

What’s the upper threshold for this lawless government? If they are serious re: using speech as a reason to deny green card or naturalization applications? Why should we not expect this to be a ruse for mass ongoing expulsions
SCOOP—State Dept. now requires "enhanced" social media vetting for student visa applicants suspected of "ties to terrorist orgs/activity" or applicants who previously held a visa starting Oct. 7th, 2023.

State Dept. demands 'enhanced' social media vetting of student visa applicants
It’s tied to Trump’s executive orders re: terrorism and antisemitism, per an official cable review by The Handbasket.

We should absolutely prepare for brain drain, with our most innovative, talented, curious and resilience thinkers. Look to Argentina and the losses they’re taking there… #standupforscienxmce #defendresearch #iftheyleavewilltheycomeback
Many of the scientists that the Trump administration is defunding and persecuting will be working on strategically important technologies and research areas. The UK and other European countries should urgently establish programmes to bring those researchers here.
