Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Oogenesis in humans typically starts 8-20 weeks post implantation. Spermatogenesis in humans typically starts at puberty. So, technically, that Executive Order defines us all as asexual neuter. Hope that helps.

Lower in the comments, the OP, an evolutionary biologist, also posts this absolute gem of a meme:
Screen cap from one of the Thor movies featuring a dark haired pale skinned woman as Thor's sister Hela.  She has her hand out stopping Thor's hammer (Mjölnir) in mid air.  The hammer is labeled "It's basic biology".  Hela is labeled "Advanced Biology"

If you are a female student in Florida, this is the kind of guy that Ron DeSantis is appointing to manage your university. www.idahoednews.org/news/medicat...
Career-oriented women — who have put off marriage and family in favor of mid-level jobs — are “more medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome than women need to be,” Scott Yenor said in a recent speech.

And the Boise State University political science professor said colleges, “the citadels of our gynecocracy,” are part of the problem. In order to preserve the family, he said, society needs to deemphasize college.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

It should be noted that the original person who said this is @mollycrabapple.bsky.social - artist and activist. I find it odd that her name got cropped out of the original screenshot (from an article in LA Times, btw) and the uncredited version is the one that makes the viral rounds.
