You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

They say great minds think alike, but small minds rarely differ 🤔

In between things I've been checking in on the emails that mention "university" and uhh did we all know about this connection?

New paper with @calebhmiles.bsky.social on density ratio learning!

The CDC shooting was public health’s Jan. 6 “In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine," write an epidemiologist and a former CDC staffer.

NEW 🚨 The violence is the point. Elected Dems must call for widespread resignations (RFK, Bhattacharya, Prasad) in response to the CDC shooting. Public health must demand this of them, and the public must demand that of us. With @publichealthguy1.bsky.social in STAT: www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

Anas Al-Sharif أنس الشريف @ This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so l could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah's will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where l am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend-patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza... And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom. 3:25 PM • 8/10/25 • 675K Views

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

This is the first example I've seen of a university trying to mobilize constituents to stand up against Trump threats.

There's been a lot of "wHaT eLsE CaN AdMiNiStRaToRs Do?" in The Discourse when this is exactly the thing they haven't been doing. Good for UCLA for trying.

Others should follow.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

ICE fund vs. world's top defense budgets United States China Russia India Saudi Arabia United Kingdom Japan Australia France Ukraine Germany Poland Turkey South Korea Canada ICE Italy Israel Netherlands Brazil Switzerland $126.0 billion $75.0 billion $74.8 billion $71.5 billion $57.0 billion $55.7 billion $55.0 billion $53.7 billion $50.0 billion $48.7 billion $47.0 billion $46.3 billion $41.0 billion $37.5 billion _$30.9 billion $30.5 billion $27.0 billion $26.1 billion $25.0 billion

ICE now has more funding than the military in Israel, Italy, Brazil and elsewhere.

The full ruling explaining why NIH grant cuts are illegal came out today.

It's just as blistering as the judge's oral remarks. And it uncovers fresh details in DOGE's role orchestrating the cuts — and on the cuts at Columbia.

Here are my top highlights from the 103-page ruling. 🧵

@columbiamed.bsky.social posted this on X? CUIMC has many obesity medicine docs, dietitians, etc. who study nutrition. Trustee Shoshana Shendelman isn’t one of them She’s been sued for fraud (hiding FDA concerns). Faculty have a petition to remove her from CU leadership: bit.ly/Remove-Trustee

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

Photo from Land Palestine on Instagram: “Iranians In Tehran City Are Taking One Last Picture Before Evacuating Their Homes Due The Israeli Attacks”

There’s a trend on Iranian Instagram where they’re taking last photos of their homes before they evacuate Tehran. Remember that Iranians are people with hopes, dreams, worries and fears just like you and I. Remember they lived lives similar to ours before the war.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign…

guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

Holy shit, New York!

campuses gathered questions for the Board of Trustees on postcards then delivered them during their meeting on campus! 📬

HUNDREDS of CU community members wrote postcards w/ questions or submitted them online ✉️✍️

Our “Defunded Science Fair” was a huge success! Thank you to all who showed up to present. We had such great conversations with alumni on campus for alumni weekend. If you missed it, we hope to host another — stay tuned!

Now is the time for scientists to stand up against Trump’s repressive agenda | Daniel Malinsky The administration is attacking research, health and the environment. We might seem unlikely activists – but we have a duty to dissent

I wrote something to say that scientists cannot afford to be 'apolitical'

Scientists actually have the skills and the duty to join in the fight against authoritarianism

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

To Columbia’s trustees: Protect the future of higher education Even before coming to power this year, President Donald Trump’s administration made its plans for targeting American higher education abundantly clear. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FR65Ci...

Columbia faculty (700+ signatures!) urges our Trustees to do 6 things:
1. Stand up for higher ed
2. Fight back against federal attacks (sue!)
3. Protect our students
4. Preserve academic freedom & fac governance
5. Affirm tenants of DEI
6. Protect research & provide backup funding
