Boycott these companies now for their complicity in Israel's occupation, apartheid and genocide against Palestinians. Priority boycott targets of the BDS movement: Chevron CALTEX hp TEXACO Carrefour (intel, XBOX DELL Disney+ AYA teva Reebok sodastream RE/MAX Pressure targets of the BDS movement: Microsoft Google amazon Expedia SIEMENS airbnb Booking.com CISCO Organic boycotts supported by the BDS movement: M Coca-Cola Domino's Pizza Hut PIZZA PAPA JOHN'S KING WIX ZARA September 2025

Want a fun and easy way to support Palestine? Pick a brand on this list and stop patronizing it! Then, add another! The best part is that many of these companies also support Trump, so your boycott benefits multiple great causes simultaneously!

“A sanctuary is not a strategy. It is a capitulation to fear and the political pressure that ignores scientific reality”

Well said @vincentcostaphd.bsky.social

There's a special place in hell for people who benefit daily from state of the art medical treatment and then argue that the means to discover the next state of the art treatment should be eliminated.

NIH looks to turn primate research center into a sanctuary The health research agency is offering the Oregon National Primate Research Center federal money to stop testing on primates.

NIH and some outside interest groups are trying to force the closing of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, and it looks like they might win. This would be a huge blow for translational research. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Take action TODAY. Provide public comment in writing by emailing ohsuboard@ohsu.edu by THIS FRIDAY, Feb. 6 at noon PT. Include “For public comment” in the subject line. The battles are local AND national. All NHP researchers in the USA are at risk next.

First they came for DEI and I said nothing for I hoped my success rates would improve.

Then they came for gender identity research and I said nothing for I hoped my success rates would improve.

Then they came for the NPRCs, and I said nothing for I hoped my success rates would improve.

And let that include calling your senators again. Don’t give them a moment of peace until we get a moment of peace in Minneapolis.

Anyone who votes to fund ICE has blood on their hands—no matter how they rationalize it. Make sure they know.

Heard from a friend in Atlanta that several ICE vehicles were spotted near Emory University the past few days.

Passing that word along to who needs it.

There’s more than one way to do science 🧠💼
Join us for #BlackInNeuroAltCareers: Beyond the Bench at #BINW25 — featuring Black scientists thriving in tech, policy & beyond.

🗓 Sept 11 | 🕒 3–4 PM ET

#5YearsOfBIN

Michelle Obama: "please I'm begging you feed kids just one (1) vegetable"

RFK: "some children deserve to die. there's a healthy way to eat deep fried burgers"

Media: "these are the same, to me"

In my experience, it is difficult to prevent a genocide by providing the genocider with unlimited weapons

They don't need prayers. They were literally in church. What they need are laws that prevent this kind of senseless yet quotidian violence. And you know, this Ted.

Flyer for the Black In Neuro Conference for a Symposium on September 12th , 8:45-11:00 AM ET. The background is a soft peach with vibrant geometric patterns in mustard yellow, coral, teal, and pink at the top border. A bold orange "#BINterdisciplinary, Exploring the Future of Science" title is centered. Below that reads: "Black In Neuro, in partnership with EE JUST, will host a candid conversation about the future of Black scientists at the intersection of life sciences. We will discuss strategies for building resilient communities and networks that propel and sustain Black scientists across life science research fields. This session is open to scientists and non-scientists alike interested in providing their experiences and expertise in the field". The Black In Neuro and EE Just logos appears in the bottom left corner with "A collaboration" above. To the right, text reads "#5YearsofBIN".

What’s the future of science and who’s shaping it? Join #BINterdisciplinary at #BINW25 in collab with @EEJustLSSociety for a convo on resilience, networks & the future of Black scientists.
Open to ALL #BlackInX communities 🖤

You know, fascist regimes have a proven track record of suppressing science and education; it's part of the fascist playbook.

PBS streaming service!

did not know this was a thing!

can send our canceled paramount+ dollars this way for a double win (and it’s cheaper)

I've long been a monthly donor to my local NPR. Please consider figuring out who your local PBS and NPR stations are and if you can budget a few $ a month for them, do so.

If you're in a market where your station is well-funded, please support stations in smaller markets like @nhpr.org.

DOJ seeks one-day sentence for officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor In November, a federal jury found officer Brett Hankison guilty of violating Taylor’s civil rights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot.

One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case.

Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real.

If you’re wondering how little they value Black lives—look no further.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Sorry to message you, but my children are starving and I have nothing to feed them. Food is scarce and prices are unbearable. Please, if you can help, I beg you. 😭🙏

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

New outlets are literally giving more smoke to a candidate for A LOCAL ELECTION who wants to pilot 5 state owned grocery stores, fix vendor licenses and raise taxes on the rich by 2% then Trump literally doing fascism

So grateful to @rsaofficial.bsky.social for the 2025 Animal Research and Ethics Committee Award! Not often do we get recognized for things that we believe in deep within our cores, so this one is really special! Especially at a time when animal research is under attack across 🌎 #RSA_ISBRA2025

Elon’s rocket blowing up on Juneteenth in Texas reminds me that the ancestors are always with us. 😂

Carter-William @carterwalek: alexa show me the unnervingly large Venn Diagram of people who hate immigrants but love to take 23andMe tests to find out exactly what type of immigrant their family once was

This is a strong point.
