Conference goers at #JMM2024 are standing up for a #MathMinusMilitarism. While the JMM welcomes the NSA to recruit mathematicians for secrecy and surveillance, we refuse to use our labor to aid and abet war and imperialism!

[Dissenters 🌊 @wearedissenters]

Youth in STEM are told that to make a living, we have to take lives: develop weapons to genocide Palestinians & surveillance tech targeting Black & brown ppl.

We know better. Our futures demand investment in life-giving services & technologies. #MathMinusMilitarism #JMM2024

As the National Security Agency collects your cover letters and CV at the #JMM2024 (and your data everywhere else), we figured they should at least have a resume of their own work! #JMM2024 #MathMinusMilitarism

And, in the spirit of free speech, the AMS and conference organizers so generously offered to confine us to the "first amendment demonstration area", i.e., the pig pen pictured below:

We say no to NSA recruitment at #JMM2024 and beyond. #MathMinusMilitarism

Take that in. Then try wrapping your head around the fact that we’re only seeing the beginning of a destabilising planet, while remembering that GHG emissions are still rising and the companies largely causing this are making record profits.

A bit concerning, don’t you think?

As everyone watches #Oppenheimer remember the US nuked the Marshall Islands 67 times and the fallout devastated thousands. The US / West are the ones driving to end the world today while pretending to care in their movies. US out of the Pacific & Hawaii!

I feel no shame or regret for believing Carlee Russell was missing. I still hope she receives whatever support she needs. Instead of making jokes or feigning embarrassment, let’s commit to finding the hundreds of thousands of Black women and girls who remain unfound and ignored.

The problem with some folks is that they tend to see homelessness as nothing more than an inconvenience in their lives — like encountering unhoused folks in parks and subways — instead of recognizing it as the grave reality where lives are tragically lost day after day.

What we’re not going to do is start with the “I’m glad #CarleeRussell is safe BUT..” No. Give her and her family privacy and time to process before y’all start your conspiracy theories and Twitter investigations. I am so thankful she was found safe 🙏🏽

LET’S SEE IF THE MEDIA GIVES THIS THE ATTENTION THEY GAVE 5 WHITE MISSING BILLIONAIRES IN A SUBMARINE

Carlee is about 5’5 and 150-160lbs.

Her red Mercedes was left on the side of the interstate with all of her belongings, purse, cell phone and other items.

She stopped because she saw a baby or child on the side of the interstate. She called 911 and family members to let them know. The last person she was on the phone with heard screams.

If you have any information about her whereabouts please contact law enforcement- the Hoover Police Department.

“Friends and family whatever city or state you’re in I would like to have someone spearhead search parties.

Please contact me Talitha at 1-205-401-3365 or Carlos at 205-396-6160.

Thank you and we are not receiving any negative thoughts. God is faithful and Carlee will be found safe and free from all hurt, harm and danger🙏🏾🙏🏾Lord I’m trusting you with my whole heart!!🙏🏾🙏🏾”

Here we have many of the same features as the Titanic submarine story – peril on the sea, human lives at stake, a race against time. Will we be getting the same wall-to-wall coverage of the search and rescue?

A country that "cannot afford" Medicare For All, shouldn't be spending tax dollars to maintain over 800 military bases around the world.

There are no queer friendly cops. #Pride means abolish the police, abolish prisons, and queer liberation.

Your daily reminder:

Jail & prison does not deter crime.
Jail & prison is criminogenic.
Jail & prison increases recidivism.
Jail & prison is violent.
Jail & prison creates violence.
Jail & prison decreases public safety.

Invest in communities.
