Neil Soiffer (Mathscribe '86, Mathematica…) writes "allowing everyone to have a chance to find the joy of math and science has given purpose to my life". He now works on daisy.github.io/MathCAT. Arno Gourdol (WinMath '86) now works on mathlive.io Who else's math software work spans five decades?

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

All of this because we didn’t throw Trump in prison for trying to overthrow an election.

My Favorite sign of all time at a No Kings Protest. So F--king True!

This is a legitimately great idea. Turn every ICE concentration camp into a museum of their crimes and the people who fought against them.

“A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth.” It seems the infection spread from his tooth to his lungs, and he developed the pneumonia that killed him. In other words, ICE allowed a prisoner to die of a toothache.

I am an *old* GenX and I *only* buy stuff on my PDP-11/83 running Version 5 UNIX, using a line-mode web browser I wrote in BCPL that runs on a DECWriter. It's the only way to be safe from ad exchange malware!

SF STORY PREMISE: SETI decodes an alien signal targeting us. Hi! We see you're still facing the Great Filter! We want to help! Based on your anatomy in broadcasts we decoded, here is a blueprint for a device that will solve your problem! Humans: decode blueprint. It's for an improved guillotine.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:

The job won’t be done, this era of madness will not end, until we make the names they call themselves universally acknowledged slurs. MAGA & Trumpist for sure, Republican perhaps. Make those names shameful deservedly, now, lest the slur become our name — American. daringfireball.net/2026/01/the_...

Evolution of the About Box from 1994 to 2025

ICE is a terror organization and must be dismantled, abolished and its members prosecuted. Full stop.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Old timers will remember what a federal investigation found after Chicago ‘68: it was a “police riot.” Today, a million times worse. #AbolishICE

ICE is a paramilitary force deployed in a campaign of state domestic terrorism. If the primary focus were immigration enforcement, they’d be raiding agricultural and hospitality industry settings. Instead, they’re going into residential neighborhoods, schools, and courthouses. Terror is the goal.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Something that is very important here is that this man’s fellow agents didn’t rush to help him or save his life, barely even pulled over. This is not a military unit joined by bonds of brotherhood and experience together. There is no unit cohesion besides a shared desire to hurt people.

ICE must, collectively and individually, be destroyed. They are committing #Sedition and possibly #Treason. They are committing assault, murder, arson, kidnap, rape while intentionally breaking the Constitution. They use nerve agents on the innocent. They are OUTLAWS and we must act.

People want to have their basic needs met. They want to be paid a living wage. They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives. They do not want Venezuela. They do not want Greenland. They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Felix Klein lectured “On Hilbert’s first note on the foundations of physics" at the Mathematical Society of Göttingen #OTD in 1918. He included excerpts from letters in which he and Hilbert give priority to Emmy Noether’s results on conservation of energy in general relativity. (1/n) 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

"Every day the Republicans are like “we built a new puppy killing machine” and every day the Democrats are like “we are introducing legislation to encourage more government oversight to the puppy killing machine” Abolish ICE.

I just want to explore all the possibilities for parametric equations. What else should I try? #MathArt

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

The ACLU has a Mobile Justice app that will automatically record video and send it to your local ACLU affiliate if you get attacked by ICE and they try to delete your video or steal your phone. It’s now available in 17 states and Washington D.C. www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

I find it really really hard to keep up with more than one social media site... I have a full time job, a family, and, you know, a life, so I don't post here much... but I'm going to try to share a bit more. Also posting here too: youtu.be/8cJggmt_CB4

If you need inspiration to keep going right now, may I recommend the story of Robert Smalls, who stole a confederate steamboat and piloted his family and almost 20 others to freedom and went on to become one of the first Black people elected to Congress ✊🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/life/b...

Hope is a powerful thing. Sometimes it's the only thing. Our numbers are few. Our spirit is undiminished. Aidtya Sahil. Never commissioned. The Federation has gone dark and vanished for decades. What does he do? He shows up every morning and does the work, for as long as it takes. Happy New Year!

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.
