[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.

I'm in Canada, excited for this conference. You know who isn't here? Immigrant American PhD students because they're too nervous to leave the country. Shame on the people doing this to them.

Terence Tao, perhaps the most famous living mathematician, explains the damage the recent grant cuts to UCLA has caused especially due to its impact on IPAM (the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics, one of 6 NSF-funded math institutes in America): https://t.co/YkP4tZZyNx

[Julien Chaumond @julien_c]

BREAKING:

we've partnered with @metaai and @paperswithcode to build a successor to Papers with Code (which was sunsetted yesterday)

PWC, founded by @rbstojnic and @rosstaylor90 has been an invaluable resource for AI scientists and engineers over the years (and an inspiration for us to build @huggingface)

We are happy to follow in their path and provide a new section of HF for the community to follow trending Papers, linked to their code implementations on GitHub 🔥

link in the next tweet ⤵️

And hat/tip @joespeez @ThomasScialom for helping with this 🥰

A LOT of kickass scientists, creators, and engineers here at Open Sauce who are in the US on green cards or student visas and are making arrangements to not live in the US long-term.

Making immigration into a culture war was so goddamn dumb.

[Jelani Nelson @minilek]

60 years ago the govt tried to replace migrant farm workers with Americans, the “A-TEAM”. Then …

“200 teenagers from New Mexico, Kansas and Wyoming quit after just two weeks … the A-TEAM was considered a giant failure and was never tried again”

If you work at xai, you can just quit. You can get a job almost anywhere. What on earth are you doing.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me - I’m just a silly girl.

Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war.

It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made.

[Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers]

This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.

We are working on adding some interactive components like search and (beta) integration with LLMs.

Hope this is useful and feel free to submit Github issues to help us improve the text!

[U.S. National Science Foundation @NSF]

Today, NSF announced an add’l 500 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program awardees for the 2025-2026 cohort, bringing the total to approx 1,500. #NSFGRFP supports grad students as they pursue their dreams, build STEM skills, & become the next generation of innovators & leaders.

[Kyle🤖🚀🦭 @KyleMorgenstein]

how will they pay grad students now?

[Harvard University @Harvard]

Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard. https://t.co/V8uvTNaL64

[Mark Goldwater @mark_goldwater]

@KyleMorgenstein Or a capacitor

[Ariana Elena Castillo @arianaelena97]

I don’t think y’all understand the gravity of this situation!

Department of Homeland Security stated: “This means Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status.”

This is bad. Very bad on SO many levels

[NYS Catholic Conference @NYSCatholicConf]

There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

Under Republicans’ SAVE Act, your driver’s license won’t be enough to vote.

You’ll need:

1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130
OR
2. A birth certificate with your current legal name, which nearly 70 million married women lack
OR
3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info

I’ll be blunt. This is a modern-day Jim Crow bill that restricts access to the ballot box.

I want to start making videos again. I don’t even know where to start. I’m a lost science puppy

as soon as i saw they were using asterisks for multiplication symbols, i knew we were in trouble
