If a US Senator wants the US to go to war against another country, he should introduce a war authorization and push for a vote in the US Congress.
Not subvert the Constitution to achieve that end.

Kristi Noem may be out, but nothing has changed about the need to put a stop to ICE abuses and the erosion of American liberties.
It‘s vulnerable bc during global crises we are all vulnerable but the underpinnings are a function of Sanchez’s personality (wanting to lead from the front, making no excuses), its party’s econ/energy vision that is paying dividend (“green baby green” + immigr)+ Spain’s memory of Franco’s autocracy.

This is also at least part of the calculus behind SCOTUS and a lot of "normie" Republicans continuing to stand behind Trump. They still, at this late stage, do not believe that he can do any fundamental damage to America or their vision for it. They still hubristically view him as a useful idiot.
One 9/11 per *day*.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

literal nazis are in charge. a guy threw a nazi salute at the inauguration of a guy who kept a book of hitler's speeches at his bedside.
This belief is about to be defeated by some epic margin calls unless Trump gets the most epic lucky break in American political and economic history.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Plenty of that across industries, there’s this pervasive belief that President Trump could never make a catastrophic mistake, or if he did, it could be reversible by the omnipresent “adults in the room”. That is, American biz genuinely believes the WH could never break something they couldn’t fix.
The ones who can enter Black-majority spaces on their own terms, without having their hands held or their space guarded by the Black person they’ve hired for that purpose…they don’t need help courting Black voters. The Clintons had it (esp. Hillary); Biden had it; Mamdani has it.
I’m at a philosophy conference and it is WILD. You philosophers are fascinating people.

I get that Dems are kinda lost in the wilderness at the moment but like, at *minimum* “no Nazi tats and lying about why you have them” should be a hard, uncrossable line.
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
Women do the emotional and physical work of the world. We hold everything together. We deserve a seat at the table for these reasons alone. At the very least, we deserve safety, dignity, respect and equality.

NEW: The bad news about international-student enrollments at American colleges just got worse. An exclusive @chronicle.com analysis of just-released State Department data shows new visa issuances in the summer of 2025 dropped by more than a third. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...
As well as the outright murderous war crimes, Russia also targeted energy infrastructure - what we may call a secondary war crime. A hydro-electric power plant in Chernivtsi/Vinnytsia has nothing to do with the military.

I just want to replace my Honda Fit with an electric Honda Fit, when it's time. Of course, they don't sell the Fit in the US any longer.
The most scathing critics of Silicon Valley circa 2014 barely scratched the surface of the treachery these companies have shown.
Providing your products to criminal regimes planning to use them to violate human rights on a massive scale is a choice!

My first empirical paper from my PhD is out! It examines biomedical ontology in women’s reproductive health through endometriosis. I expand my concept of “ontological friction” showing how symptoms move thru porous configurations w/o coordinating as “disease”.

The image shows three graphs labeled A, B, and C, titled 'WCMC in-site', 'LMH validation', and 'BMH validation'. Each graph plots 'Sensitivity' vs. '1 - Specificity', comparing 'XGBoost', 'Without blood test', 'Only BP', 'Without BP', 'RF', and 'LR' models with AUC values.
Dynamic, short-term prediction of #Preeclampsia in late gestation using routinely collected #EHR data was feasible and demonstrated strong performance and generalizability in a multisite cohort study.
