Two chained women are inspected before being loaded onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP. Empty shackles, returning from El Paso, will be brought to Whipple. The number of people loaded here this week, 67, is the highest since Feb 7-13, when Homan announced the end of Metro Surge.

Almost 150 entries from students in 30 US states, 2 Canadian provinces, and 5 other countries! It was a pleasure and privilege to organize this contest. Go read the winning essays and learn about some very cool people and very cool ways to use math on the job. #MathSky

This is so, so well-articulated.

Including the Droste effect at the end? What?!?

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

Trump has not “given” the USPS special control over mail ballots because that is not a thing that is his to give. PLEASE STOP PRETENDING THAT THE CARNIVAL BARKER HAS MAGIC POWERS JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS HE HAS MAGIC POWERS.

Psychotic stuff with western US snowpack, this is Colorado. You could figure out how many standard deviations off mean this is but why bother, we’re not even on the same distribution any more. It’s as if something has changed.

The article spends 95% of its space quoting instructors reinforcing its deficit-minded thesis and then at the end drops this as an afterthought: "One-third of the people who responded to the Chronicle’s survey said they had switched to an alternative grading system"

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

I was part of the mass of people at the No Kings march in Manhattan, New York City. It was packed!

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

Happy welcome-people-into-the-resistance-because-everyone-is-needed day to those who celebrate. My kids aren’t too sure about lots of people, but we read a book and talked about it and they do want everyone to be safe so agree it’s important to go.

This is what I hope Open Streets will become under @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social — more than just places for people to dine outdoors, but true third spaces where anyone is welcome and all people can enjoy time outside, alone or with others, without being required to spend money.

Preceding thread recommended.

I agree. This event has been meteorologically astonishing, and its impacts will be felt long after it ends in terms of record low snowpack, sharply increased wildfire risk, and extreme low watershed runoff/streamflow into summer and beyond.

Help this shit has me in tears

The craziest thing I learned writing this report is that it costs more money in NYC to move trash from a small apartment building to the curb a few feet away than it does to move it from the curb to these landfills and incinerators hundreds of miles away centerforzerowastedesign.org/all/advocacy...

Thank you to my fellow @cquid718.bsky.social steering committee members for putting our feelings into words. As a @queenswfp.bsky.social member I am deeply disappointed by the decision to not endorse @chuckforqueens.bsky.social for NY-6 (my very district).

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.
