Pre-Convention Workshop webforms.fiu.edu/view.php?id=... Empowering Women in Academia—Today and Tomorrow Women Faculty Moving Forward: Successfully Navigating the Academy Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Convention—New Orleans, August 4, 2026

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

NYE, 2025: Who better to give us a message of inspiration and hope than Jane Goodall? I hope her last message gives all of you some perspective and motivation needed to look forward to 2026. 💙 CB

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda: "He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her." "She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

Dr. Jane Goodall was a gift to humanity

"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story." Governor JB Pritzker

Kennedy is killing science. That will end up killing people.

A large-scale, government-funded study tracking 1.2M children over two decades found something Kennedy doesn't like, so he wants it retracted. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

🧪 RFK Jr recently said that doctors profit off of vaccines. The CDC was a target of shooting by a man who blames his health issues on the Covid vaccine. This administration does not believe in real innovation. This MAHA rhetoric is taking us back decades. He needs to be removed. Sign and share.

The launch of an important new public resource. The Anti-Corruption Tracker: Mapping the Erosion of Oversight and Accountability www.justsecurity.org/117267/anti-... The Tracker is a living document that will be continually updated. A screenshot below gives you a sense of the Chart and its data.

Just watched #Sirens. The characters were amusing for sure. I'm originally from #Buffalo, though; they made Buffalo seem too dysfunctional, IMHO. Sure, the city has issues, but it's been experiencing an ongoing renaissance during the last decade. I ❤️ 🦬

#AEJMC & #ComSky, I’d love your brief (anonymous) reflections on mentoring women & non-binary scholars! If you’ve been a mentor, mentee, or witnessed positive mentorship, please share: forms.gle/wXydW9if7LdB.... I'm collecting these for the @aejmc-csw.bsky.social newsletter. @aejmc.bsky.social

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

Pneumonic Plague has returned to the USA. U.S. Department of "Health" and Human Services, how long before you suggest we pass out plague masks? #antihealth

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.

No. No, we are not.

Are we great yet?

Murkowski said “my hope is that the House will recognize we’re not there yet.”If a bill’s not there yet, you vote no. Hope doesn’t keep nursing homes open, feed children, fund disaster recovery, care for veterans, train workers, keep bridges standing, or pay hospital bills.

I offered to pick up Fleur from my parents the day after our international trip was called off, and they were all, “She’s good, she sleeps at our feet and follows us everywhere without a leash. Come next week." I keep finding myself holding out berries for her 🥺. I cannot wait to get her back!!

I wouldn't even feel safe protesting near a Trump property at this point with all the foreign policy disasters he's single-handedly brought upon us. Good luck with that hotel you're building across from Iran...

Just awful

NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

Democratic Establishment, Instead of sinking money into (unsuccessfully) blocking the party's evolution, use your resources to support that evolution. Mamdani is exactly what the people want: a genuine grassroots fighter who stands with the people, not with the powerful. Take note.

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.

Whatever word you choose to describe it, Israel’s brutality in Gaza is criminal, repugnant and shows no sign of slowing down. Just as Russia’s is in Ukraine. Trump’s friends.

Nearly two million Palestinians, now forced into just 18% of the Gaza Strip, are enduring overcrowding, disease outbreaks and severe distress Growing hardship especially for women and girls. @nirhasson.bsky.social www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

JUST NOW: Bernie tells the crowd about Trump attacking Iran, the crowd erupts into “NO MORE WAR!” chants Bernie calls the attack “grossly unconstitutional”
