I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

What a turnout for the Emergency Naked Bike Ride! It is 53 degrees outside and has been raining off and on all day. That's commitment! So proud of my people for continuing to show up for freedom and justice. #Portland #Antifa

Sub-60’s temperatures and persistent rain has changed the complexion of today’s Emergency Naked Bike Ride in #Portland, but bare butts are out there, and gonads are shivering.

This is why I live in #WarRavagedPortland.

Not content with mobilising people in inflatable frog costumes to face down ICE cops as well as a ukulele orchestra picketing the ICE facilities, Portland today mobilised a naked bike ride to the premises and followed it up with a *marching band dressed as bananas*.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

MIT refuses to accept White House terms for funding, other schools still mulling

Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth on Friday said she "cannot support" a memo that the White House sent to nine elite U.S. universities last week detailing policies they should follow to get preferential consideration for federal funding.

My read is that fascists in the Trump Admin had Portland central to their martial law plan — 100% confident they could poke us & get visuals they wanted — and we, incredibly, have denied it to them in the funniest way possible.

It’s honestly an incredible achievement. So proud of Portlanders.

Okay, so I am 100% for animal costumes, dancing, music, or whatever other way people want to protest against ICE, Trump, fascism, or similar.

I think saying that it's "effective" because people dunking online makes me wonder what the fuck people think the end goal of it is.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

@mit.edu has done an incredibly important service to the nation by being willing to be the first school to reject the administration's "compact."

President Kornbluth focuses—and she's right—on the principle that "scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

The document also includes principles with which we disagree, including those that would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution. And fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.
