WaPo: the mood inside the Pentagon is "intense and paranoid"
Pentagon leaders worry the US will expend its air defense stockpiles, and the conflict will "spiral out of control"
This is precisely what Pentagon Joint Chiefs Chair Dan Caine warned of last week

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Gaza is fascism. If you are not opposed to Israel’s genocide in Gaza you are not opposed to fascism or authoritarianism anywhere.

We must stand up and speak out, not because something is left or right, but if it is right or wrong.

Their silencing must be our speaking. Words to encourage in our homes, institutions, and neighborhoods.

Attn faculty & university admin: “The ban is morphing from something that happens at isolated diplomatic posts to something that reaches deep into America’s campuses, workplaces, and homes. This is a legal terrain where broader challenges can be mounted.”

The new Muslim Ban is coming into effect on March 20th; it is boring, it is sneaky, it is worse than the last one by far, and it is trying to make the Muslim Ban normal forever. My latest in @thenation

To be clear: @elonmusk & @realDonaldTrump are destroying America’s medical research infrastructure. It’s not hyperbole to say that we’ve all lost years of life expectancy. They are setting back research on cancer and heart disease for tax cuts! @AFTunion @AAUP @uaw @HigherEdLabor

All Elon is doing is torching the infrastructure that makes america the world leader in biomedial research. And he's not doing the economy any favors either, the negative effects of this are going to reverberate through biotech, pharma and the rest of the economy 5/N

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭
It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health.

My latest piece for @thenation on Clinton and the DLC’s problematic legacy for the Democratic Party
13 Feb 2025
It’s time for Democrats to throw off the dead hand of Clintonism! So argues @LGeismer in this excavation of the enduring influence of Clinton-era politics on today’s Dem Party. If you want to understand why they’re flailing so badly, this explains a lot.

TBH part of me wants to run as far as I can from academia. But when THE Angela Davis says “We need you! You definitely need you!” well, I know I better stay and fight. (Masks removed just for the photo)
