I truly do not believe that most men, including "the good ones" understand how much of our careers get spent on this.
The skillset I have learned up including how to file protection orders, navigate countless procedures that target survivors, how to protect ourselves, friends, and students...

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!!

We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

“each university will now be required to feed syllabi and course details into a database, which will then be examined by artificial intelligence for content not aligned with approved syllabi.”

So, this is really bad

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university.

You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Okay, I've volunteered to be a media contact person for stories about this week's amazing #aurorae. Scientists, what are your favorite fun facts or useful similes? Non-scientists, what questions do you have that I could try to answer? 🔭🧪

Definitely mentioning that you can get an #auroraselfie!

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

If all the aurora photos are giving you unbearable FOMO, it may please you to know that there’s a possibility for more lights tonight (Wed. 12 Nov), possibly right after sunset in North America. We’ll see how this next CME (coronal mass ejection) impact plays out!

What to expect:

1) The show continues overnight

2) There’s a chance that tomorrow night’s northern lights show is even better than tonight’s (more below).

(Disclaimer: I am not a space weather meteorologist, but the folks below are, and I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express)

🚨HEY DENVER, GO LOOK AT THE SKY!!! 🚨

Never seen aurorae this good before. 🤯 They were totally naked-eye around 9:45pm from south Denver, bright red and green. They're coming and going, so if you don't see anything at first, try again later!

In actual, functioning democracies, this doesn't take 7 weeks & depend on the politically-motivated whims of the parliamentary chairman.

One of my favorite fellow cosmologists gave a talk on the cosmic web and I cannot recommend @markneyrinck.bsky.social’s work enough!

Accessible for everyone! 🧪🔭

I contacted my Representative. Have you contacted yours?

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.

If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

Surprised, but thrilled actually. Marriage equality is safe for now.

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is
