The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

This president endangers lives.

Pssst... hold the pipette vertically when aspirating. It improves accuracy! Pass it on. #chemsky

Lolololololololololololol

One of the ways budget cuts have hit @umnchemistry.bsky.social is in the ability to cover transportation for elementary school kids to come see the awesome Energy & U show. There's a $5K match for Give to the Max day if you can chip in to help with that deficit: crowdfund.umn.edu/participants...

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Credit where it's due: demanding that the military obey the law and constitution is a strong, defensible, popular red line, and one the Dems should draw and hold.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Whether or not there's a driver, man. It's a car, on a road with people on bikes, or pedestrians crossing the street, or people in other cars. We should be working to lower the number of _cars_ in general, when it comes to safety.

Re Waymo--we get a report of deaths each month at TAB; numbers of people killed on the road--car, bike, ped, motorcycle. I don't know enough about driverless cars to fully understand the safety implications, but there's simply more safety implications EVERY time there's more cars on the road.

#BREAKING: Former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers will immediately leave his role as an instructor at Harvard while the University investigates his ties to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Dhruv T. Patel and Cam N. Srivastava report.

“It’s incredibly easy […] to not have a long-standing relation with maybe the world’s most notorious pedophile and human trafficker,” Anna J. Guerrini ’29 said. “I think it’s disgusting that he was asking for advice from another man on how to cheat on his wife...” www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

After expanding Medicaid to include dental and vision in Kentucky, our team delivered 65,000 eyeglasses and over 3,000 dentures in 2025 alone. Research has shown these services can change lives by helping folks find employment, and I'm proud we're seeing those benefits firsthand.

Um, probably no one from my HS. But a fellow inorganic chemist from grad school is now GM for a NHL team, so I that’s probably the most unexpectedly cool career outcome.

Our office is on site as the situation continues to evolve. There is a visible ICE presence, but we continue to be told this not a widespread immigration raid. We are working with community and government partners to monitor and ensure any action remains within the scope of a valid warrant.

There have been reports of federal government activity in Ward Four this morning. As of right now, we believe the entities involved are FBI and DEA, not ICE. We’re continuing to work to get official confirmation of this, and to monitor the activity in the area closely. I’ll share more as I’m able.

In razzing Nuzzi with his nuzzling buzz, Lizza wouldn’t be muzzled. It’s puzzling that their sizzle fizzled but Nizzi was dazzled by the old buzzard. She found him snazzy, said huzzah, all that jazz. Lizza felt scuzzy, ate pizza on the mezzanine.

The midwest dad-joke guy that your aunt shares on Facebook going full anti-AI data center is very good.

Check out today's newsletter from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on two very different views of the Epstein emails Spoiler alert: One of them is mine! The other is the "lost world" heralded by the NYT margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/two-opposi...

WayNO.

GREAT NEWS RED PANDA!!!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

“At the 11th hour, CVS claims that they have inklings of a plan for this property.” “CVS has done nothing for years. The clock has run out.” @mollycoleman.bsky.social absolutely hits the nail on the head, gets 7-0 vote to demolish CVS. This is a HUGE step for Midway & I’m so happy Molly is our CM!

😂😂😂 I’m laughing and crying about ragweed allergies

Absolutely critical win, hard fought by incredible activists. Congrats Mississippi.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

With my handler, who gently reminds me the MN SoS website only updates every ten minutes.

Trump announced this morning he will violate two court orders and withhold SNAP benefits from Americans. He’s starving people on purpose

REMEMBER: if you have a felony conviction and are out of prison and on paper--you can vote in Minnesota! (godDAMN that feels good to type.).

Early voted but reposting as a reminder to anyone who hasn’t yet. (Carter, yes, yes.)

Today was the period drop at Neighbors, Inc. I don’t even feel these photos do it justice. But you’re looking at $12,000 and 1,303 pounds of pads, tampons, incontinence pads, cups, and other assorted hygiene gear.

“Too many landlords have gotten away for years of treating tenants unfairly… And I think it's time to put an end to it.” You said it, Barbara. 💥 ✅ Early voting is underway, St. Paul! Vote YES on Question 1 by Nov. 4 so everyone in our city can live with dignity. ⚖️ bit.ly/STPadmincites

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Very peaceful protest outside the Whipple Building. Many of the participants are interfaith leaders. Rough guess is more than 400 people here now. I've also seen three unicorns, a couple frogs, three handmaidens and a Pokemon.

Protesters getting louder and approaching the doors to the Whipple Building. Some banging or knocking on the glass. Three law enforcement agents without riot gear are visible inside. One officer is outside in front of the door. Still peaceful. Just loud.
