“It's quickly getting to the point that if you're the wrong color you have to carry proof of legal status to avoid being caught up. This is horrendous. You have rights too & you have no obligation to make it any easier for immigration officials to target the most vulnerable”

✍️ & stand in solidarity
Sign the pledge to stand strong against immigration raids and the racial profiling of our friends & neighbors. Targeting and deporting hard-working essential workers who have been struggling for a path to legalization for decades is just wrong. ufw.org/immigrationr... #WeFeedYou

📰 Predatory Journals Harm Science

In 2021 alone there were more than 15,000+ predatory journals that exploited researchers, using fake peer reviews and metrics. Vulnerable authors risk career damage, while science suffers too.

The NIH is so completely intertwined with hospitals and industries.

People asked if I worried about losing lab funding if NIH shuts down and I replied that if there’s no more NIH then our entire society and economy will be in free-fall so loss of grant funding will be… incidental.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

I am reminded of Archbishop Romero’s compelling words “Let us not tire of preaching love; it is the force that will overcome the world. Let us not tire of preaching love.”
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde was nearing the end of her sermon for the inaugural prayer service on Tuesday when she took a breath and looked directly at President Trump.

"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now," she said. Read more: nyti.ms/40slABn

The only reason it’s still killing people is capitalism and the greed of corporations. Same for poverty, lack of housing, etc.
Big Pharma is the only reason anyone still dies from HIV: “We have the means to eradicate AIDS as a threat to human life. Greed is keeping this from happening.”

everything we do & everything we think is social. we are social creatures intermingled with society. we cannot escape if we tried to. we would still carry with us our social baggage. we are either ignorant of the social web we are in, or we acknowledge it.

An image of a transport truck with a failed elevator dropping a $300k Lamborghini Diablo is good enough as it is, but it is made perfect by the kindly old man standing next to it and laughing with his bicycle

These Salinas area farm workers are harvesting lettuce hearts. Workers must keep pace with the machine as they work. A crew of 38 packs on average 1,800 - 2,000 boxes of lettuce per day. #WeFeedYou

Farm workers are some of the hardest-working and essential workers on the planet, and so often mistreated and underpaid.

Another reason to support unions!

Impressed by the Buddhist David Loy’s work on socially engaged Buddhism when he talks about capitalism as “the institutionalisation of the 3 poisons of greed,hatred,and delusion”.When we encounter the material roots of crises in the world today we can see them in the fear at the heart of the system!
