Starting a new post and linking directly to the fundraisers because Bluesky accounts are getting deleted so often. I will then comment with the Bluesky account below the fundraiser so you can follow or chat with them and try to update as needed. I also fixed the graphic because it was bugging me.

Dark rust-colored text on an off-white background that reads, from top to bottom:

#FreePalestine
Gazan Fundraisers
Donate & Boost
DM me to be added

At the bottom is a graphic of multiple hands holding Palestinian flags.

Send some funds to a Black trans academic who has been suspended from her job without pay for pro-Palestine/anti-zionist speech.

This action has resulted in her being stripped of her health insurance - a deadly action by a cruel administration, especially now.

Brown is out! They had to do more dancing in their letter because they previously capitulated and needed to reference their previous agreement but, at its core, this reiterates MIT's letter.

The clock is now on for all other institutions.

So frustrating that we've been screaming about asymptomatic spread for years and people are still like "I'll mask if I'm sick"

Imagine surgeons not wearing a mask just because they're not symptomatic.

"I didn't have a runny nose so I decided it was fine to breathe directly into your chest cavity."

There's a certain brand of leftist whose entire brand is just co-opting social justice language to defend the things they want to do anyway.

SCIENCE POLICY NEWS:

During Yom Kippur, all the members of the High Energy Physics Advisory Committee (HEPAP), myself included, received a letter thanking us for our service and telling us essentially that the almost 40 yo standing federal advisory committee was no more. ⚛️🧪🔭

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.
