Ahem.

[Annie Leonard @AnnieMLeonard]

I really think this is terribly disruptive & inconsiderate to block a road like this. Don’t the people responsible for causing this know that people have to get to work, get to daycare to pick up kids? Someone needs to be held responsible! We must not tolerate this.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

A lot of people will remain in denial all the way through the fall of democracy & the rise of climate catastrophe. That is very clear today.

In 2016, some said it didn't matter who won the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Now in 2023, we've lost the right to abortion, affirmative action, LGBTQ rights, and student loan debt relief.

Don't listen to those people ever again. Elections have consequences.

DO YOU WORK ON AN IRB OR OTHER ETHICS APPROVAL BOARD! I want to talk to you!!

(1) I run a website (https://t.co/xG3uOo5uL8) where over 100 research labs provide studies that children and families can participate in from home

(2) Participants consent individually to each study

A little weird tho that a private business CAN choose to DENY a customer because he/she is a member of a protected class, but a private university CANNOT choose to ACCEPT a customer because he/she is a member of a protected class.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.

70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

We live in a media environment that has a perverse and distorted sense of what is newsworthy—weighing the stories of wealth and the wealthy against those tragedies of our less wealthy fellow human beings through this distorted lens.

Every so often, this incident comes up on social media and everybody has a laugh at the ignorant biologist that didn't know basic math. I think this case illustrates something very toxic about the way many of us think about a life in science.

[Sacha Coward @sacha_coward]

Why don't you, a cisgender heterosexual person get a flag?
Why don't you get a pride month?

Let's imagine you are asking this truly in good faith and break it down. 1/

I don’t think some people over 40 understand how fed up millennials & gen z truly are. There is no future for us. We have been used as political bargaining chips our entire lives while getting nothing in return. There is historical precedent to where this will eventually lead.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage.

This isn’t just a couple stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country.

Wake up America.

This doesn’t stop here. You’re black? You’re Asian? You’re Jewish? You’re a woman?

You’re next.

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…

And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

I've been thinking about how sometimes we lose the forest for the trees.

There's no apolitical, evidence based opposition to gender-affirming care. It does not exist.
