When was the last time police pepper-sprayed members of the KKK?

Someone recently told me that “difficult to work with” often really means “difficult to take advantage of” in creative industries, and I haven’t stopped thinking about that for weeks

Trump doesn’t want to make America great. He wants America to make him feel great.

[Ran Blekhman @blekhman]

Do US citizens understand how stressful it is to be an immigrant scientist in the US?

Far from family/friends, never ending visa bureaucracy & payments, constant fear of not being allowed back in the US, or being forced to leave your home/job/PhD due to some ban

The confederate flag is to Black people as the swastika is to Jewish people. Does that help clarify why we want it out of here? Take it to your room.

College RAs have more de-escalation trainings than cops do

[Meech @MediumSizeMeech]

It’s Tuesday, you know what that means:

[Jess Dweck @TheDweck]

Still thinking about how people were like “not all cops!” then literally all cops in Buffalo were like “no, it’s all of us”

[Dr. Caprice Phillips @CapricePhillips]

I often think about how many Black students are academic casualties to professors as they “learn” to do better. It’s not fair.

[Mara Wilson @MaraWilson]

Really sick of one of the richest and most influential white women in the world being lauded as some great crusader and truthteller for hating on one of the most marginalized groups of people

[Yaheely🧚🏼‍♀️ @yhlyrz]

CWU prides themselves in “diversity and inclusivity” yet they fired the ONLY HISPANIC WOMAN IN THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT for speaking out

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The tear gas wasn’t tear gas. The photo op wasn’t a photo op. The protests weren’t peaceful. The death toll is exaggerated. The virus isn’t that bad. The economy doesn’t need any more help.

All they have left is telling us not to believe what we’re seeing with our own eyes.

[TJ👽 @trevormeyer_]

I lost my aunt today..... she’s not dead, just racist.

[Angeline J. Dukes, PhD @HeyDrDukes]

A thread for PIs on supporting Black students:

I cried to my PI yesterday.

I was explaining that I’m trying my best. Even in the midst of all this, I am TRYING to be a good grad student.

I was trying to force myself to write my advancement document all last week. I couldn’t.

Actions white people can do starting today to be an ally to the black community.
