An autistic (age 15) is harmed by years of ABA interventions with terrible outcomes for him--so behavior analysts strap him to a restraint chair (lap, shoulder, arm straps) & punish him with "an edible bitter solution" applied to his lower lip? https://t.co/y9PSI9Fvhr ABA in 2025

@autismcrisis The last paragraph of the abstract??? ? “Innovative research and clinical processes are described in detail, as well as a call for more collaboration to address existing restraint–fading research gaps.”- that’s human rights violations rsch ! Tribunals needed not collab!

Colleagues and friends around the World, Lebanon now stands on the brink of a nationwide humanitarian catastrophe. Urgent support is needed in calling for an end to this brutal war, and to advocate for peace and dignity for all.
Please share widely.

It's time to stop the war and end the crazy cycles of revenge and destruction

Spain’s Ione Belarra:

“Seeing the US Congress applauding a true terrorist, a child murderer like Netanyahu, gives me chills. That support is what allows him to do what he does. The US is as responsible as he is for the genocide.”

This is not by any definition a 'debate'.

Tell them, we did not live silent.
We lit up the sky.
We laughed.
We took care of each other.
Tell them, we were broken.
But we did not live silent.
We reached the impossible.
And it was impossible.
If I die, tell them, we did not live silent.
We sang. We taught. We learned. We grew.
We messed with each other. We danced. And we danced.
We made it work. We prayed for each other.
We cried. We held each other.
But tell them, we did not live silent.
We resisted. And resisted. And resisted. And resisted.
We bled. And we stitched each other up.
We leaned on each other. We fed each other.
Tell them, we did not live silent.
We told stories at night. We rode at dawn.
We ran for our lives. We swam for our lives.
We risked it all. We never gave up. Till the last breath.
Tell them, we did not live silent.
And we died. Free!

Two years ago, Fiona Apple popped up on a zoom call to get trained by local organizers to Court watch. Dedicated ever since. Her work has led to freedom, lawsuits, accountability.

The stories all here in this short video. She wrote & performed the score:

“What are you willing to risk?
What are you willing to give?
What if you were in Gaza?
What if those were your kids?”

@macklemore is showing the world what artist solidarity looks like. This is phenomenal.

Here’s what Israel did today in Rafah

This is what its road to “total victory” looks like

We are living in the hunger games. #Rafah #MetGala

If I were a class 1929 alumni, I would ask for my donation money back
Gates to education are becoming gates of what seems like a prison

As an alumni and academic it’s so infuriating to see what Columbia university turned to be

BREAKING: Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, becomes the first university in the U.S. to fully divest from Israel.

This was Rachel Corrie’s school.

I transcribed the first ~3 minutes of Mumia Abu-Jamal’s call from prison with the students of the CUNY Gaza solidarity encampment. The imprisoned journalist and former Black Panther has been jailed for over 42 of his 70 years.
