I helped conveners organize a community meeting for a fifteen block area, with "Preparing For ICE" as the theme. Less than 48 hours before the event we had to switch to Zoom. First meeting, so no email list to notify. And we STILL peaked at 234 people on the call at once. People are *done*

This was happening in Seattle at the same time hundreds of cyclists were biking for Pretti in another part of town, after almost a thousand biked in solidarity last night. There’s many different protests happening even within a single city it’s getting hard to keep track of them. That’s very good.

He's always (very) aggressively fundraised for his lab's research program, students, fellows, and staff. I benefitted from such support as an advisee, so would be a hypocrite to generically fault any scientist for seeking funding, as I (and many of us) do to support those we advise. (3/8)

A thought, using misogynistic language towards a vile, despicable woman means that misogyny is acceptable when the woman is 'bad enough'. It's reaching for the oldest, laziest move available...and is honestly beneath us. Be better, y'all.

But this isn't true. That's not how either democracy or freedom of speech works. You can totally not vote, and then complain. People who try to sell this, are usually people trying to get a racist, transphobic, fascism-lite Dem candidate over the line with a "Trump is worse!🤡" positioning.
