Last night, a professional colleague in my industry said, "Oh I just never listen to the news, nothing in there that benefits me" and it took my whole being not to say, "how privileged to think none of this affects you."

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

If you’re a US citizen, there are many things you can do to protect the undocumented: 1. If you’re on train or bus and ICE asks for ID refuse to show yours. Ask questions. 2. If they’re outside your home, ask who they’re looking for and if they have a warrant. Disrupt Don’t obey

All of my mentees have heard me say to them, "They are lucky to have you." Listen to me. Let me make it plain: ANYONE excelling *in any space designed specifically for them to fail* is doing amazing, sweetie.

📢 New #KYR Resource in English and Spanish 📢 DHS has expanded its use of the ‘expedited removal’ process. Undocumented community members are now at greater risk of being put in a rapid deportation process - without the right to appear in front of an immigration judge.

I know that it is the point, but the whiplash about federal funding has been an exhausting emotional roller coaster over the last 48 hours. It is extremely distressing to not know if you are going to have a job tomorrow.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Here’s a statement that just came in from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR): “By preserving the Ordinance as-is, Chicago is standing up for the constitutional rights of all residents and maintaining the policies that reflect our welcoming values.”

Today, Chicago City Council voted 39-11 to block an effort to allow police to cooperate with ICE as the incoming Trump administration threatens to make mass deportations.

I had my last therapy session of the year today! Earlier this year I decided to switch therapists because I felt like I was not making progress. Best choice I ever made 🥲 Shoutout to all the therapists out there facilitating safe, warm spaces 🫶🏼

And just like that-academic twitter reformed into academic BlueSky. I’ve missed seeing all this interaction and sharing of science.
