Portland Folks: if you're in town Saturday and want something to go to aside from the No Kings protest, or after, the Portland Defense Fund is holding a street fair on Clinton St in SE.

this week's post is about palestine, the history of zionism, and anecdotes about israeli anarchist friends of mine from years ago who were living in exile to avoid joining the IDF

The lack of understanding basic statistics reflects poorly on the US education system. We know exactly how LLMs work!
as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"
I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

As Trump holds Northwestern University hostage with $800 million in frozen funds, Northwestern leadership cracks down on students' right to free speech.
These policies put more than 22,000 students at risk of punishment for peacefully protesting for any cause in any way.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

What a contrast:
On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.
On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.
This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

I get the stock market is bad but the equivalent has already happened to foreign aid, research funding, and public health. Everyone didn't freak out because there isn't some ticker on the news measuring the number of cancer researchers and Ebola prevention experts being fired.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Real scientists don't need federal grants to fund their science. Who could possibly benefit from rigorous data collection administered with cutting edge technology by paid lab techs, grad students, and post docs- who all work together to analyze, visualize, and reveal a new mystery of our world?
This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪.
(We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.)
Trump and Musk are blocking *ALL* NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings.
Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/

NEW: The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep funding frozen at the NIH - a move that some legal scholars say is illegal.
Federal Register notices are blocked, so no grant-review sessions can be scheduled.
