I LOVE all these "everybody contributes to science" projects, but PLEASE stop calling them citizen science and start calling them COMMUNITY SCIENCE projects (and community scientists) instead.

It's a far more inclusive and non-limiting term.

Re-posting this great piece by Eric K. Ward about how he infiltrated white supremacist groups in the 1990s and learned: “Antisemitism, I discovered, is a particular and potent form of racism so central to White supremacy that Black people would not win our freedom without tearing it down.” ✊

You know what, Biden should go on TV and say "if the Court is going to be reviewing so many administrative regulations, it's going to need to be a whole lot larger. Going to need *puts finger in the air* idk, 5 or 6 justices"

If stopping Trump is the most important thing in this election (leaving aside how good Biden’s domestic record has been), I want the guy who has a proven record of BEATING TRUMP.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

It's really weird (it's not really weird) how states that ban abortions are also states where women can't get leave to take care of their children.

“Israel” isn’t “failing to protect civilians,” it’s not even willing to kill civilians as collateral damage in order to kill Hamas fighters. These framings obscure what should be obvious at this point: “Israel” is TARGETING CIVILIANS. You don’t kill tens of thousands by accident!

Forget IMRD!

ILMRD is the logical structure of papers.

This:

1. Introduction: What did I want to know and why?

2. Literature Review: Who else has written about this?

3. Methods: How did I study it?

4. Results: What did I find?

5. Discussion: What do these findings mean?

Yeah, but it's Hamas. They won't admit when they themselves kill hostages, so I don't believe a damn thing they're saying on the matter.

Oh, 100%. That's actually the thing: nothing /would/ be out of bounds. I don't tell people Trump being elected would suck out of politics as sportsball and he's the opposing team. I mean it'd literally be fascist dictatorship. He and the people around him would be unconstrained and unconstrainable

Even worse are those analysts who welcomed the 7th of October as expanding the "imaginary for possibilities of both resistance and collective freedom". Carried away by images of destroyed border fences, they ignored both the nature of the attack and its totally predictable consequence.

A reminder: Israel bears full responsibility for its campaign of total destruction of the Gaza Strip. But Hamas's 7th Oct attack was a reckless gamble which - so far - brought unprecedented disaster. Any analysis that omits Hamas's agency and responsibility, is not worth the paper it's written on.

Media is being too credulous about Trump's threats to prosecute Dems "for revenge." This implies he's just threatening to do what is being done to him. That's deception: He's vowing evidence-free prosecutions, which is *not* what's happening to him. 1/

There are so many Biden haters out there. I guarantee you if he is not re-elected you won’t be able to share your thoughts about anything publicly anymore. Read Project 2025. It’s designed to eradicate democracy. There is no other choice.
Vote blue to save American democracy.

Allowing wealth to be concentrated at the very top has completely broken this society. Consider that it's significantly cheaper for billionaires and corporations to spend millions buying politicians and judges than to pay taxes on their wealth. Capitalism incentivizes this kind of ROI.

as a first-gen American, it's been really scary and depressing to see the whiplash from the Trump years when liberals had very strong, positive messaging for immigrants to today where supposed "allies" argue violating international law is a "necessary evil" and whip out polls to say it's all okay.

Just a picture of #Covid being over in #Japan.
See the grey line? It flatlined when the government decided to throw all Covid data collection out the window, told that Covid was over, and when people started to stop masking.
The red line? That's the excess mortality rate.
I wonder what is happening.
