If Dems and other officials do not hold the perperators of past admin crimes accountable *and* tackle the structural issues that made the US vulnerable to mafia state rule, all the Biden admin will be is a brief interlude between aspiring autocracy and entrenched autocracy.

I am excited to finally announce that the Lauterbur EvoEco lab will be opening in the Biology Department at the beautiful University of Vermont @biologyuvm this fall. Opportunities for grad students and postdocs bridging computational/organismal evolutionary ecology and genomics

Does the gut microbiome explain variation in fitness in wildlife? Our decade-long effort to answer this question in @SI_horses suggests that it does. Out in Nature Communications today: nature.com/articles/s4146…

STATEMENT: Uncommitted delegates urge the Democratic Party to reject a hierarchy of human value by ensuring Palestinian voices are heard on the main stage. We are learning that Israeli hostages’ families will be speaking from the main stage. We strongly support that decision and

No is not an acceptable answer. Please reconsider. We’re being extremely reasonable. I’m waiting for the call from the Vice President’s team. I can’t go anywhere until the Vice President agrees to having a Palestinian American speak from the stage. I’m waiting for the call.

If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic Party. If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out.

A highlight of today’s Michigan Dems convention was seeing a large crowd boo AG Dana Nessel when Debbie Dingell called her name. For months now Nessel has put UM students through the wringer, pressing criminal *felony* charges against them for protesting the US genocide in Gaza.

This isn’t just about First Amendment rights & citizenship. By smearing anyone who advocates for Palestinian rights as a “Hamas operative,” the Trump Admin is teaming up with pro-Israel groups like the ADL & AIPAC to make the entire pro-Palestine movement toxic & untouchable.🧵

Last week, I was expelled from Columbia University for protesting the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza. As president of Student Workers of Columbia , Columbia’s student workers union, I was also fired from my job. The Trump administration is pushing their narrative. Here’s the real story. 🧵
