Joe Biden spent the first three years of his presidency passing a lot of progressive legislation and ending America’s longest war. He spent the last year of it enabling a genocide abroad and opening the door to a fascist at home.
It’s the last year that will forever define him.
#Congratulations Indian-American dalit professor Shailaja Paik, who researches & writes about Dalit women, has received a 'Genius' grant of $800,000 (Rs 6.7 crore) from the MacArthur Foundation. Shailaja comes from a Dalit community. She spent her childhood in the slums of Pune.

Once upon a time, on a terrestrial planet around a G2V star, it was prophesied that only the coolest astronomers would know how to party. 🔮
The San Diego Zoo witnessed the prophecy come true last night.🪩

Dartmouth has an endowment of $7.9 billion.
And yet, two thirds of its graduate student workers are rent-burdened.
Half of its graduate workers have not seen a dentist in years.
Does that make sense to you?
It is outrageous that while Dartmouth has an endowment of $7.9 billion, their graduate workers are struggling to get by. I stand in solidarity with 800 workers of @GOLDartmouth striking for a living wage and decent benefits.

Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.
📢 At our recent GBM, we declared our worth to Dartmouth. We voted in sweeping majority that the contract Dartmouth has offered us is not adequate and that we will go on strike starting May 1st! Donate to our hardship fund and support us using the link in our bio!
Dartmouth graduate workers have voted to authorize a strike! If you are able, we ask that you please donate to our hardship fund. 🔗Donate link and more: https://t.co/tELLAhBwxm
We're grateful for our community support. Solidarity forever✊
@PlavchanPeter@toomanyspectra Do we know if there’s been any studies like this that consider the correlation between postdocs’ graduate institutions and prize fellowships?
