The dreaded Judeo-Bolshevist structural pharmacologist with too much free time in lab. Please at least glance at the literature before opining on biology. Opinions unfortunately my own. He/him

ICE has always been evil and unnecessary, it is evil and unnecessary, and it can never be anything but evil and unnecessary. Abolishing it is the moderate position. Anyone saying otherwise is a coward or collaborator.

We won't begin to roll back the tide of fascism until white liberals come to terms with the fact that tens of millions of their fellow citizens actively, knowingly, support racist Gestapo policies. Tens of millions of racists were not deluded or misled. How will you adjust your strategy accordingly?

This is equivalent to posting the Google Trends screenshot of "is Joe Biden running for president" spiking on election day and insisting it represents more than like a hundred people total.

most people learn from some manager at their first shitty retail job that you do not have to respect what a person says just because their position should, in theory, be held by someone who knows what they're talking about

Until we get a single Democratic elected at the national level, hell at any level, committing to anything -- truth and reconciliation, abolish ICE, let alone anything like Nuremberg -- it's all wishcasting that has lower odds of happening than anything previously dismissed as "ponies" or "unicorns."

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos. You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

the problem with dedicating campaign funds toward charitable endeavors is what if you lose and then all you’ve done is helped people in need in your community?

Income correlating with turnout is a force of nature like gravity. The poor simply cannot find their way to polling stations until they reach a sufficient socioeconomic status, and any attempt to circumvent this phenomenon is doomed to fail. Also if you try you're breaking the law.

From @parkermolloy.com at New Republic. newrepublic.com/article/2047... I'd go a bit further. The system needs no conspiracy to function. It just needs everyone to understand the direction things are going in. Bari Weiss was put there not to protect a legacy, but to align its politics differently.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A disheveled Purple Guy sits on the pavement. He looks intensely upset. He says “I’ve lost everything. My family. My job. The streets are my home now.”

Panel 2: 
Purple Guy starts to sob and says “It’s like the whole world hates me.” 
A hand rests on his shoulder.

Panel 3:
Purple Guy looks up to see a Yellow Guy looking down at him with tears in his eyes. Yellow Guy says “I know how you feel, friend”

Panel 4:
Yellow Guy weeps, looking up to heaven for answers. He says “I’m a billionaire with a blue sky account”

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

we should have universal services because those are good things, not because they're some sort of instrument to heal the rubes of their racist hate. frankly delusional to think the latter is anywhere near the realm of possibility.

If you’re at a school that still has a path to unionization, it is the most important thing you can do right now in your immediate environment. In our union system, we undid tens of millions of dollars in grant cuts when the university refused to act. In non-union systems, this will only get worse:

If we don't rip this ideology out, root and branch, it will metastasize and keep returning in ever more dangerous forms. This is is happening because we abandoned Reconstruction. It's happening because the same ghouls from the Nixon and Reagan administrations are still calling the shots.

Since Ioannidis is quoted in Science today, I'd like to share something many of us probably (mercifully) missed. Six months ago he published the most insane under-estimate of Covid mortality averted by vaccination I've seen: 2.5 million deaths globally in 2020-24 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Lives and life-Years Saved From COVID-19 Vaccination
This comparative effectiveness study analyses the number of lives and life-years saved worldwide among those who had been vaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-2024 years.

It's really depressing how when I say Israel committing genocide increases antisemitism, I'm told I'm excusing antisemitism. To put this a different way, if Israel wasn't committing genocide in Gaza, people would not be able to point to an ACTUAL EVENT to justify their hatred of me.

A core, inalienable belief of the Global Reactionary Movement is “the Jews are to blame” and I guess it’s funny to watch guys like Shapiro realize there’s no Court Jestering your way out of that.
