During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Excellent Lockwood Seminar today from @buzznicholson.bsky.social at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station! Shared with us his work on the landscape ecology approach to understanding pesticide driven decline of pollinators 🐝 Look at these beautiful pictures and charts 🤩👏

I have had a miserable week. I've cried every single day. Work sucked. I ruined my fav hat. Setback with my broken arm & I'm just in pain. I canceled plans with friends & separately w/ family & my fantasy football team is going to lose At least I get to try again next week, I'm grateful for that

95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires. shame. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

I've said it before, I'll say it again. #RHOSLC is the greatest tv show ever created. Absolute perfection 🙌

Would you like some good news? A new vaccine has just been approved for protecting koalas from chlamydia, which is one of their leading causes of death.

“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

TIL that Danny Bryson of News AF @robhasapodcast.bsky.social has never been on Survivor. And I'm still in absolute shock. I've been watching all of #Survivor for the first time (im very unspoiled on most survivor). Ive just been waiting for Danny to show up, but HE NEVER PLAYED

Pay them what you owe them! The Connecticut labor movement was proud to stand with members of the WNBPA at the Connecticut Sun game as they fight for a fair contract. Respect the players by paying them their fair share. (And the Connecticut Sun won 87-84!)

If you added French Toast to a taco, is it the tortilla or the filling ?

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

It took me a long time to realize that not everyone has to argue/negotiate/shame their brain into doing routine household tasks.

The newspapers are not making a big deal of this today. This is a big deal. Someone shot into a Federal building repeatedly, fueled by misinformation and politics. It should be front page news across the country.

Illinois has banned AI therapy, making it the first state to regulate the use of AI in mental health services. www.engadget.com/ai/illinois-...

Her name is Kirsten. She's a really good person and actually playing a pretty good game so far, so let's at least respect her enough to call her by her name when you're fishing for likes. #bb27

A researcher at Texas A&M University flying home from abroad was detained for more than a week by immigration authorities at the San Francisco International Airport, sleeping in a chair and living off food sold in the airport, his family and attorneys said.

I’ve been teaching the histories of eugenics for over a decade and I honestly never thought I would be able to use an American Eagle ad in a lecture to demonstrate how dangerously normalized eugenics has become in 2025. A lot of it is the global ascendancy of far right fascism but also the pandemic.

With RFK said to be on the cusp of firing the entire US Preventive Services panel, some thoughts on the importance of this independent group's work--and what's at risk if these experts are summarily dismissed. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (🎁 link):

My parents are currently in a tornado warning due to a doppler indicated tornado headed there way. And my dad is just sitting out on the back deck apparently. Tornado sirens wailing. I miss home

🧫 Raw milk outbreak sickens 171 people A new CDC report links raw milk from one California dairy to a multistate Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak. 70% of cases were in children. Raw dairy can carry serious health risks, especially for kids. 🔗 www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes... #RawMilk #SciComm 🧪

Republicans are waging a generalized war on science, but I think many of them don’t fully grok that RFK isn’t at war with science alone or per se: he’s at war with sick people, and of the view that only the lucky should be allowed to survive into old age. They are know nothings, he is Mengele.

Why tf doesn’t Derrick know how to pronounce Keanu #bb27

Oops! Broke my wrist and elbow being very dumb on my ripstik (like a skateboard) last night. Future Meghan will never again go 13 mph downhill and then immediately heel turn 😭😭

Hi!! Do you know how to correctly pronounce #Lao names? I'm emcee at a scholarship ceremony tonight and I really want to pounce these incredible students names correctly Google isn't helping enough I need some help with these: Sattah Lakkitta Sengsavath Phouthakoun

Using chatGPT for “research” is so funny bc like…research is a word with a meaning and typing into a large language model trained on stolen information does not fall into that definition 😭 #bb27

The level of how infuriated I am as someone who is neurodivergent and has an autistic son is off the charts. Production really should do something because it's happening almost every season. Doing nothing is just enabling the disgusting behavior.

Billionaires are convinced AI is on the verge of making new scientific discoveries because they don't understand how AI chatbots work.

When I see people complain about male loneliness, it is so painfully OBVIOUS to me that most of these lonely men are men who feel entitled to a woman who does that labor for them, who acts as their agent enmeshing them into community through unpaid pro-social labor on their behalf.

There is a movie franchise where each sequel is better than the previous movie and that movie franchise is the six Tinker Bell movies.

Not to brag but I went to the dentist today and NO ONE told me I need to floss more. Didn't know that was an option. Feeling cooler than everyone rn, gonna pick up some caramel popcorn to celebrate

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

Well should be an interesting week to be in DC for a union conference and lobbying 😬😬

hey @nytimes.com what if instead of this you reported accurately that the president of the united states has violated the united states constitution by entering into war with a foreign power without the approval of congress, just like, what if

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

Spent the day in NYC and saw The Late Show w/ Colbert film live. Paul Simon🤩 was the guest and the interview was so fantastic, they are going to have to cut so much to fit the show but I wish everyone could see every minute
