I am delighted to announce that the Department of Biology at the University of Washington is advertising for a tenure-track assistant professor position on the quantitative understanding of collective behavior.

I will be chairing the search. Details are here: apply.interfolio.com/130336

"My doctors & nurses didn't leave out of loyalty to their community.

The people that stayed behind they know they're going to die & they're choosing to stay behind anyway.

I wake up every morning & I send out a text message & I ask, are you alive?"

— Doctors Without Borders Nurse Emily Callahan

Healthcare workers in Gaza face an impossible choice: To give up on their mission to save lives, or risk a high chance of death to serve their communities.

This is inhumane. We need a ceasefire now!

Abortion rights have been on the ballot in multiple states since Roe was overturned.

Each time, abortion rights have won, with Ohio set to enshrine abortion rights in their constitution tonight.

Kansas: 59-41
Vermont: 76-24
Montana: 52-47
Michigan: 56-43
Kentucky: 52-47
California: 67-33
Ohio: 60-40 likely

The majority of the US considers access to abortion a fundamental right.

Conservatives cling to this ‘silent majority” nonsense, and it’s just that. Nonsense.

Abortion is healthcare.

We are watching over a million #people starve in real time. Do you see why we're angry?

I first met Arwa in 2018 I believe when we both attended a conference and did an interview together. She interviewed me for her book right before I was fired from Google too. I can't imagine how painful it was to have to write this.

"So what are we supposed to do, I ask you? What are Palestinians supposed to do? That’s a rhetorical question because the last three weeks have made the answer to this crystal clear: we are supposed to shut up and die."

UPDATE: Biden responded to Ohio voters enshrining abortion rights in the state's constitution by saying "democracy won" against "attempts by MAGA Republican elected officials to impose extreme" bans as he urged Congress to restore Roe protections

Yowza! Governor Andy Beshear wins re-election in Kentucky!

Go Dems! Go!

It's awfully fun to see the pro-life litmus test being reversed on itself, isn't it?

I hope SO many campaign ads in 2024 put abortion front and center.

This was a Trump +35 district.

maybe we should never listen to the mainstream media again about “moderate” Republicans like Glenn Youngkin is what I’m thinking

Democrats retain control of Virginia state Senate.

AP just called Issue One in favor of reproductive rights!

We fucking did it!

Now I’m gonna sleep for like a week.

@tiffanycli Hell yes, we're still angry.

Understatement of the decade.

Despite the odds and the obstacles voters faced, this election demonstrates the enduring belief in bodily autonomy, and that will always be stronger than the well-funded attempts to subvert it. As we head into the 2024 election cycle, we’re taking notes from this win in Ohio.

Democrat Brandon Sakbun--27-year-old former Army Ranger—wins Terre Haute mayoral race, beating four-term incumbent Republican Duke Bennett. @INDems Chairman Mike Schmuhl has compared him to Pete Buttigieg. (Buttigieg did not become mayor of South Bend until age 29.)

When the MAGA Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Samuel Alito told us that "women are not without electoral or political power."

Be careful what you wish for. 😘
