In light of the #LadakhProtests for statehood, read @auqibjaveed and @zaidbinshabir's piece from June 2024 on how the Buddhist-majority Leh and Muslim-majority Kargil united in protest against the BJP and the Modi government

As opposed to passcodes (passwords, finger-drawn patterns, etc.), biometrics live in a grey area of the law. Depending on the jurisdiction (state vs. federal) and context, you might be compelled to unlock your devices or apps without a warrant. https://t.co/NuDzUK0Vwe

A serious issue for UW Madison for lifesaving research, and for our national competitiveness. This change will harm patients, students, faulty and the scientific enterprise.

[Liam Beran @LiamPBeran]

National Institutes of Health funding, at $478.8 million, comprised about half of UW-Madison's federal research funding awards in 2022-23.

The NIH reports that in FY2023, $9 billion of its $35 billion research expenditure went to overhead costs.

@xwang_lk Not sure this is a good trend. A PhD is a gym to learn how to research (in my advisor’s words), so a system that drives applicants to prove they already know how to do it is defeating the purpose and inevitably cutting out those with less access to guidance on how to prepare.

Baltimore's drop in homicides - 23% since last year and a staggering 40% from two years ago - should be a national story. Mayor Scott's Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which prioritizes resources to those most at risk and community engagement, should be studied and replicated.

@maitlis @cathydevine56 A vital aspect of this magnificent woman waiving her anonymity, is in challenging the global media notion of who a rape victim is. Older women are perceived to be “safe” from this crime, that it’s a crime targeting young women only. It’s not and never has been true. Xxx

Donald Trump, a self-confessed sexual assaulter, being named Time's Person of the Year over Gisele Pelicot, who was drugged & raped by her husband & 100 men for YEARS, and who waived anonymity to change the world for women, shows you exactly why women are rightly fucking ANGRY.
