*deep breath* Okay, tweeps, this is it. I’ve deleted all of my 148k tweets going back to 2008 so they can’t be monetized for open fascism under the new Terms of Service, nor to fed to AI models that hurt creators and the environment. Find me here: bsky.app/profile/kejames.bsk…

I will beat this drum until my hands bleed: the treatment that could have saved your child’s life during the next pandemic will not be made because cranks who believe vaccines are a soros plot to implant microchips will be in charge of the CDC and FDA if Republicans win.

🚨UPDATE: Hear the chants of over 1000 of Columbia University/Barnard students, faculty, alumni, and affiliates as they call for disclosure and divestment of CU funding of Israel and its genocide of Palestinians. They are also calling for amnesty for all students and faculty involved in Palestine actions who have been targeted, suspended, evicted, and fired. The students have spoken. Columbia MUST listen or we will SHUT. IT. DOWN. #cu4palestine

If you’re in the US, chances are no mainstream media outlet in your area has told you South Africa is at the World Court suing Israel for violating the 1948 Genocide Convention with its current campaign of genocide and mass displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.

I need folks who are not LGBTQ to understand that today's ruling is not just about a website. It is a clear sign that Obergefell (same sex marriage) and Bostock (LGBTQ employment protections) are in danger of being overturned. This is a devastating ruling. Please understand that.
