It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Hi Belinda. Sorry about this. Journalists who are reporting on protests are esp. at risk of injury at the hands of police. That dynamic has been far worse since Trump's first term where he vilified journalists endlessly. LAPD is also known for it. After only 3 days, there's a long list of attacks.

If anyone is having trouble following my (increasingly long) thread tracking incidents where police assaulted journalists at protests in Los Angeles this weekend, it's also in spreadsheet form here. This is the more organized version I've been sending to lawyers, agency chiefs, electeds, etc.

Tribal college leaders said they were stunned by the 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. By @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

Trump Wants to Cut Tribal College Funding by Nearly 90%, Putting Them at Risk of Closing

ProPublica found that Congress was underfunding tribal colleges by a quarter-billion dollars per year. Rather than fixing the problem, proposed federal funding cuts unveiled this week would devastate…

I worry about the future of democracy when leaders like Emmanuel Macron act like kings -- and possibly stoke resentment towards government. Macron has lost touch with what it means to work, to travel with children, or to spend 26 euros.

It’s a special honor to be among those receiving honorary degrees from Brown. It’s a place that welcomed me and shaped me and challenged me and liberated me, and made possible everything that came after. I’m looking forward to celebrating this weekend with friends. www.brown.edu/news/2025-05...

Brown to confer honorary degrees on seven distinguished leaders at Commencement 2025

The University will bestow honorary degrees on a diverse group of community leaders, artists, writers, performers and scholars during its Commencement exercises on Sunday, May 25.

This is an incredible initiative! Does anyone in the Pittsburgh area want to work on this with me?

Stand Up for Science!@standupforscience.net · last yr.

Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30. *GASP* 😮 We know, it's a big goal. If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

Host a teach in. Share science with your community....protest style! Calling back to the teach ins of 1965, we are taking to parks, pubs, & churches to tell our neighborhoods about how the budget cuts will impact them.

The Magna Carta, a foundational document in Western law and a key inspiration for the U.S. Constitution, says even the king must follow the rules. Now scholars have turned up an original at Harvard, Bill Booth writes from London www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

In Harvard’s archives, British scholars find a lost Magna Carta

At a moment when Harvard is battling the Trump administration, a scholar who helped discover the charter said it was an “almost providential” find.

Recommending a steroid like budesonide, which suppresses the immune system, as a frontline treatment for measles is well passed stupid - it's monstrous.

Ryan Marino, MD@ryanmarino.bsky.social · last yr.

In addition to VitaminA (& cod liver oil), RFK has been saying budesonide (a steroid) and clarithromycin (an antibiotic) “treat” measles. Neither treats measles - although steroids & antibiotics may sometimes be used for complications - and there are significant risks (ie HARMS) associated with them

something that i think is important here is to zero in on the word "democracy" because for too long this concept, in popular imagination, has been flattened into "voter preferences" and not all the important trappings of Constitutionalism

Once a foreign government can openly give the president a half-billion-dollar plane as a personal gift, there’s no red line left between a democracy and a full-blown kleptocracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...
