For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.

Did you know?

For decades, medical research and treatment plans have focused mainly on men, leaving women out of the picture.

It’s time to flip the script—women shouldn’t be an afterthought in healthcare.

Let’s change the status quo. Here’s how you can lead the way!

A dark blue graphic for International Women’s Day featuring a purple and blue gradient hand icon with a heart in the palm at the top. The word "WOMENS" is written in large block letters, with each letter containing a black-and-white photo of women. Below it, the word "Day" is written in pink script. At the bottom, pink text reads: "Diseases that mostly affect women – like Long Covid and ME – are still trivialised, psychologised, and dangerously underfunded. Medical misogyny isn’t a relic. It’s alive and well."

👭 On #InternationalWomensDay we honour the women with Long Covid and ME and allies who keep pushing for truth, research, and care.

♀️Listen to women. Fund the science.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that, billionaires will leave the USA."

To which I say:
1. Promise? Because it didn't happen last time.
2. Don't threaten me with a good time.

I’m not sure ceding religiosity to the right is the correct course. There is a strong and vibrant religious left and they are more committed to the cause of justice work than most people. For some of us, faith is the soul of the work.

GW sold Virginia campus for $427 million to Amazon for data center development The deal transfers all of GW’s roughly 122 acres of property in Loudoun County, Virginia, to ADS for $427,299,350 — roughly $3.5 million an acre — according to real estate records.

Well, now we see how even universities themselves are literally selling themselves to firms like Amazon for the construction of data centers. Here's that story again.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

As an architect, this is so fucking bleak. Someone in my profession is taking a hefty design fee to draw these plans.

This is a modern day concentration camp and the design professionals involved should be named and shamed.
