NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
Last thought on No Kings coverage:
If major papers wanted a stunning angle, how about the fact that 5-7 *million* Americans mobilized and I didn’t see 1 significant act of violence by protesters
That is a *remarkable* achievement for a contemporary social movement in a highly polarized society

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)
Nothing— and I mean nothing— about this decision is more than the bare desire to harm.

Newly accepted in PSPB! We examined whether Asian and Black Americans perceived one another through a zero-sum lens. Inspired by the SCOTUS affirmative action decisions, I wanted to know if Asians thought they were losing to Black people and how this mindset affects coalition

Tribal college leaders said they were stunned by the Trump administration's proposed cuts to their already insufficient funding and had more questions than answers.
“It’s a dagger, and I don’t know how we can survive these types of cuts,” one college president said.
Alright everyone, one last push.

This is Lola. She is one of the most skilled soccer dribblers we've ever seen, so it makes sense that she's already capturing footage for her documentary. 14/10
“The University of Michigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil pro-Palestinian campus groups, including trailing them on and off campus, furtively recording them and eavesdropping on their conversations, the Guardian has learned”
1/3. Back in January we (@commhsp.bsky.social) shared some data on how the national conversation about racial equity changed from 2020 to the beginning of 2025. We now have an update, with more data extending through the end of April.

Gentle hill with trees, light mist coming off the ground, setting sun making streaks of light and shade through the trees.
Top of a hill with lots of ground mist, setting sun, people looking into the sunset framed by the sun in the rising mist, and a puddle with a reflection of the sun behind a handful of clouds.
Evening run after the first rain in weeks. Stunning. #photography
The "mean" in "Greenwich Mean Time" actually means "mean" (like, average). I did not know this!
To calculate GMT they took the position of the sun throughout the year and averaged it out to find the average solar noon in Greenwich and based the time on that!

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.
I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

"I know I’m splitting hairs. When higher education is outlawed and your local post office is sold to a used car dealer, most people aren’t worried about naming conventions. But rules are rules dammit."
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”
That is dangerously false.

A more updated picture, I swear I have University of Washington on here guys, don't worry. That's home.
The NSF's flagship fellowship program typically gives offers to 2,000+ young scientists. This year, in the face of looming budget cuts, that number was halved: only 1,000 received an offer. Our story on what that means for the science talent pipeline: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI.
“Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.
