"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

I’m grateful for faculty with expertise and track record on prevention & response plans for targeted harassment. I’m most familiar with @rebekahtromble.bsky.social’s projects researchersupport.org & expertvoicestogether.org - I’m sure she can recommend others for everyone who needs help now

America needs a Surgeon General who follows the science, not trending conspiracies and pseudoscience. Tell your Senator to vote against Casey Means as our nation’s doctor!

"Tips for recording federal agents from ACLU organizers. Capture relevant details including agents’ names, badge numbers, documents, and any weapons they’re carrying. Capture context like the surrounding area. Record continuous video to capture the full sequence of events. Copy your photos or videos to other devices so they can’t be lost or deleted. Don’t delete the originals. Try to share your documentation with the impacted individual’s loved ones, their attorney, or local organizations working with impacted community members." Arrow pointing right.

"Tips to protect your digital privacy from ACLU legal experts. Turn off all biometric functions to unlock your phone, including fingerprint and face recognition. Ensure your phone has a strong password. Keep your phone in airplane mode when you don’t need to communicate with others. Turn off location services unless you’re actively using an app that needs access to your location. Communicate with others using secure, encrypted messaging apps."

We have the right to record ICE agents and other government officials at work in public.

Use these tips to document agents’ actions.

Excellent thread! We can do good science (which can be an act of resistance) AND at the same time engage in more direct resistance.

Some of the most inspiring scientists have been those who contributed through their research AND through their activism.

If you see a meme that deliberately avoids listing a source, a media outlet, a link, or anything *remotely* resembling indicia of reliability, do *not* repost it unless it's to tell everyone to ignore it and do better. We're heading into societal collapse, and we're not ready for it. Not even close.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, β€œNo One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

If there was an all-powerful being (perhaps a god?) who wasn’t too busy to help, he or she could intervene to assure that truth and justice flourished and evil was thwarted. Know anyone like that?

Thank you for doing the advanced math on the siege. He may be including in his productivity assessment: children terrorized, citizens injured or killed, civil rights stomped on, neighborhoods tear-gassed, businesses destroyed and general mayhem. After all, wasn’t all of this the goal?

The Trump Admin Arrested an Antifascist for Shit-Talking a Fascist A supposed β€˜antifa domestic terrorist’ was arrested for β€˜cyberstalking’ a controversial right-wing agitator who showed up at a reporter’s home to threaten him.

Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer:
1) boasts about the poor place he’s from;
2) boosts the value of agriculture;
3) celebrates small town life;
4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and
5) promotes marriage.

And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.

Paywall-free news coverage of ICE raids, deportation campaign aids those who need it most Paywalls create a two-tiered citizenry β€” one that can afford to be informed, and one that cannot, actor and political activist John Cusack writes.

With deep fake AI literally putting lies into the mouths of journalists and historians the need for FOIA paywall free news has never been greater

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Don't let anybody tell you what your academic-life balance is supposed to be You do you. And please stay healthy.

Your time for doing science waxes and wanes throughout your career. Don’t let anybody tell you that you’re doing it wrong. You get to decide what’s right for you (as long as you meet your basic commitments). πŸ§ͺ
