1/ REALLY insightful thread. (Jess's, not miee) Many of my students (particularly undergrads) lack basic computer skills, including folder structures, knowing that you need to download certain files to open them, how to navigate a spreadsheet etc. And it affects their ability to do schoolwork.

I wonder if students today would be less likely to lean on AI for writing assignments if schools had made sure they could touch-type (at least 60wpm) before having them submit all their assignments online. 1/🧵

We all win with Medicare for All! The UAW supports Medicare for All because everyone deserves quality healthcare. M4A would also strengthen our hand at the bargaining table to fight for better wages, time off, and retirement security for every UAW member!

I definitely posted something along those lines when this news came out (though not as a joke, just as commentary on the hypocrisy) but also now listening to trans folks saying it’s not helpful.

Every time someone calls Hegseth's testosterone program or Elon's hair plugs "gender affirming care," I wince. Speaking only for myself, and I know the jokes are well-intentioned: I wish we'd retire this one. New from me on why. www.readtpa.com/p/theres-no-...

Let me put the call out: if you are a researcher with any interest in collaborating on a newsy research project PLEASE send that pitch my way. I am happy to work with you and get original, news-making research published at STAT.

Resistance looks like this. It’s not just showing up to protest marches. It’s also forcing institutions to suffer consequences for complying with a regime’s lawlessness and corruption. Every bit of sand in the gears makes a difference.

BREAKING: The Town Council of Montclair, NJ votes unanimously to take its money - $92 Million - out of Citizens Bank because of Citizens' immoral financing of GEO Group & Core Civic, the main private prison companies operating ICE detention camps! @de-icecitizensbank.org.

One of my hardest-won political lessons is that it’s never, ever worth it to treat ppl as ~indispensable no matter what they do~ —bc we *see* the contributions & potential of the abusive men & we don’t get to see that in the women they drive out. We never actually get to know what we’ve squandered

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 4w ago

this dynamic described by jenny racicot is, as i understand it, very common among progressive women in maine. they’ve been put in an impossible position and feel like they’re tanking platner’s campaign when in reality he did that on his own by being a violent and reckless person.

“One of the reasons I didn’t come forward sooner was, the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person,” she said. “I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”
Julia Carrie Wong@joolia.bsky.social · 4w ago

continue to think that planter’s support with the lib/left male pundit class was not *in spite of* his various transgressions, but because of them, a frankly pathetic attempt to reassert dem masculinity through a man whose violent career they believed represented working class authenticity

Julia Carrie Wong@joolia.bsky.social · 2mo ago

is it possible that platner’s appeal is driven in large part by his audience’s libidinal investment in seeing a cheeky (derogatory) boy get away with things

A really unpleasant professional anxiety that I’ve just realized I have is that I don‘t know how to think about collaborations now that I’m so mismatched with peers on acceptable AI use. I expected this problem with students but I’m shocked at how everyone in their 40s/50s is just casually using it

Today, the SUNY University Faculty Senate Executive Committee approved this urgent call to action. Please share widely. It includes the most current and comprehensive compendium of opposition to OMB’s proposed rule attacking research for the public good we could compile. hdl.handle.net/1951/89039

Protecting Research for the Public Good against the Office of Management and Budget's Proposed "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance" Rule

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · last mo.

It's really hard to convey just how massive the scale of legislation has been to target trans people. From a few dozen pieces of legislation in 2015 to over a thousand in 2025. It started with sports bans in 2020 and now we're here. it was never about sports.

A bar chart titled "Figure 1: Anti-LGBTQ bills introduced per year, 2015–2026." The chart displays two sets of bars for each year: "Bills Introduced" (dark red/gray) and "Bills Enacted" (yellow). The data shows a significant upward trend in introduced bills starting in 2020, peaking in 2025 at over 1,000 bills, with the 2026 data representing a partial count as of March 2026. The source is noted as LegiAlerts.org Big Compilation Anti-LGBTQ Legislation Sheet.

Reminder that there is actual scientific research debunking the claim that trans women have any advantages in sports. But it’s not like SCOTUS cares; they just want to be hateful. 🧪

'There's no reason to ban us from playing': Analysis debunks notion that transgender women have inherent physical advantages in sports

A meta-analysis of 52 studies that included over 5,000 transgender people suggests that transgender women's physical fitness after hormone therapy is comparable to that of cisgender women.

For @theguardian.com I write that ending TPS is the single largest assault on immigrant lives in contemporary US & part of a playbook that couples expanded enforcement with canceling legal status. “Legal” & “illegal” are decisions about whose life is valued. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The US supreme court just put the lives of 1.3 million immigrants in danger| Heba Gowayed

The court’s TPS decision is devastating for those whose countries of origin are deemed unsafe. Congress must act
