I'd like to think this might wake some of them up?
“Meta whistleblower…says company targeted ads at teens based on their ‘emotional state’ *** As an example, she suggested that if a teen girl deleted a selfie, advertisers might see that as a good time to sell her a beauty product as she may not be feeling great about her appearance.”4/9/25
"It’s worth pointing out that more than half of the drop in America’s fertility rate since 1990 is a result of the decline in teenage pregnancies." the more you dig into the statistics pronatalists use to justify their birth rate panics, the creepier the movement gets.
SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.
It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.
First they poisoned the world. Now they’re getting rid of the people who can prove it.
This upcoming book by @mariahblake.bsky.social seems like essential reading. Pre-order here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554198...
Last year we upset the Internet, who said we were the thing ruining D&D, when we partnered with this incredible museum.
Actually, its capitalism. And for a small museum, they are particularly at risk from the cultural squeeze & rampant capitalism that is blighting the UK
Please support if you can
hbomberguy’s ongoing thread of cop dogs killed by cops might get a lot longer 😿
Started a new job on Monday and, while it is a LOT of new information to learn, I am so, so glad I made the move. This is a much better fit for me and I’m so excited to keep learning and settling in.
Please help my partner get $300.00 for meds. They must have it by the 14th. Any little bit helps. We're down to one week. If you can't spare, share! Be sure to like, comment, repost and quote post to increase engagement. I love them to pieces and this is really tearing them up right now.
“Who are the people still cautious about COVID-19? They include young caregivers of vulnerable relatives, people with chronic health conditions and families rallying around a loved one."
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hashem. Hashem and his wife Fidaa have 4 kids, Dima, 15, Abdullah, 13, Islam, 12 and Duaa, 9. Before the war Hashem ran a carpentry shop which made furniture. It and their home were destroyed. He also was injured and had surgery on his hand.
trump just shut down all weapons shipments to ukraine overnight so for all the people who spent all year feigning confusion about what biden could possibly have done to slow down the massacres in gaza, it would have looked like that
Some federal workers are going back to work.
The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.
Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.
The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Haskell, a federal tribal college established thru treaties, lost 35 employees (~25% of total) including faculty who were mid-semester in teaching classes. Students and the community are trying to finish the spring term with an emergency fundraising campaign. lawrencekstimes.com/2025/02/25/h...
The American Federation of Teachers, and its 1.8 million members, has an estimated $4 trillion of retirement security assets. Now the union is reaching out to six giant assets managers and asking them to reconsider investments in Tesla.

National eating disorders awareness week starts today. a lot of people aren’t knowledgeable about what eating disorders are like or what they can look like… and a LOT of those people are medical professionals. so… yeah. if you’re in any health profession, please, pay attention.
I need every self-described leftist to write "All people deserve basic human rights even if you hate them. If there is any class of person who can be denied their rights, the oppressor can decide you are a part of that class" 1000 times

If you are a federal employee (including those who were recently let go) and you want to talk to a reporter, I’m rachelF.70 on Signal
If you fear reprisal, I don’t have to share your name.
“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.
Among the states are South Carolina (yes, a reversal of their current school book ban legislation!), Rhode Island, Arkansas, Tennessee, and many more.
If you have been calling when you're opposing a bill, here's an opportunity to call in support.
Oh.
