This Day in Labor History: January 4, 1977. California congressman Augustus Hawkins introduces what became the Humphrey-Hawkins Act, which initially was a government employment guarantee. Let's talk about why we need this today!
As late as the mid-1970s, liberals believed another era of left-leaning government was around the corner. When Ted Kennedy fought to kill Richard Nixon’s milquetoast national health care plan, it was under the assumption that something much better would come soon.
While the recession and oil shocks that began in 1973 put a damper on this, liberals did not believe the fundamental equation of American politics had changed. They had a lot more they wanted to do. One goal was to move toward full employment.

If I could have every Twitter follower read one book, it would be Charles Cobb's This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed. There is so much mythology about nonviolence that feeds into white liberal ideas about change.

amazon.com/This-Nonviolen…
Cobb gets into how guns were central to the whole civil rights movement, as armed self-defense was necessary for survival. Ideas of non-violence were in fact backed with the potential for lethal force. This truth challenges easy notions of what activism should look like.
The nonviolent-industrial complex has taken over so much of the air on proper paths of activism. And while I certainly have no problem with nonviolent activism, there are many paths and that must remain so.

Today’s events require us to acknowledge the societal damage done by political and media illiteracy as well as prolonged and coordinated misinformation campaigns by mainstream and/or digital media entities to further a partisan agenda.

We can’t overstate its toxicity.
Here we have a guy who has documented himself at Trump rallies for YEARS and drives a van covered in right-wing propaganda and right wingers are still refusing to accept it.

They are staring at a clear blue sky and insisting it’s orange.
The echo chambers, the fabricated and demonstrably false websites, videos, memes and articles, the shills on cable and even more dangerous hacks on streaming sites—it led to this. And they still refuse to accept that an objectively toxic product could have any side-effects.

Le 8 septembre 1890 #Thérèse fait Profession. Elle adresse à #Jésus cette #prière
O Jésus, mon divin époux ! que jamais je ne perde la seconde robe de mon Baptême... archives-carmel-lisieux.fr/carmel/index.p…
prends-moi avant que [je] fasse la plus légère faute volontaire. Que je ne cherche et ne trouve jamais que toi seul, que les créatures ne soient rien pour moi et que je ne sois rien pour elles mais toi Jésus sois tout !...
Que les choses de la terre ne puissent jamais troubler mon âme que rien ne trouble ma paix, Jésus je ne te demande que la paix, et aussi l'amour, l'amour infini sans limite autre que toi, l'amour qui ne soit plus moi mais toi mon Jésus.

Bon vue que c'est bientôt la fin de semaine, on reprend le thread sur mon sujet !!! #thèsolie
#thread #bioinformatique #assemblage
Je vous avez laissé avec quelque notions important, que je vais rappelé rapidement :

- Le séquençage c'est ce qui permet de lire la séquence ADN, mais on ne peut lire que des petits morceaux et on sais pas ou on lis du coup on est un peut embêté pour comprendre ce qu'on a lue
- L'assemblage c'est l'étape algorithmique qui vas permettre de reconstruire la séquence d'ADN d'origine a partir des morceaux qu'on a lue. On fais sa parce que les morceaux partage des séquences communes, sa s'appel des overlaps. Pour sa on utilise un graph d'assemblage

Bon aller je ne me suis pas encore présenté sur #thésolie et je crois bien être une des dernières a ne pas l'avoir fait donc c'est partie. Je suis une thèse en bioinformatique, non la bioinformatique c'est pas faire de l'informatique avec de la biologie c'est l'inverse !
On peut résumer sa: a l'ensemble des outils mathématiques, statistiques et informatiques pour la biologie. Vous pouvez lire cette page bioinfo-fr.net/aux-origines-d… ou celle-ci fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-infor… pour plus d'information !
C'est un domaine très large mais je vais parler que du miens l'assemblage des génomes. Et non désoler c'est pas mélanger des bouts de génome comme dans jurasic park . #gifAvecLiensTénu

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Cool, j'ai un exposé à faire sur un article de Virginie Julliard : #ThéorieDuGenre : comment débat-on du genre sur Twitter ?
Fun car ce sont mes binômes qui ont choisi le sujet et que ça tombe direct dans mes intérêts. Je vais faire un LT, ça me servira de notes !
Hypothèse du papier : Twitter produit un débat spécifique, en raison de ses propriétés & de la manière dont les utilisateurs s'en saisissent
