Hey there Seattle fans! Your tears of joy this afternoon could be blotted up by tissues erupted out of 3D printed tissue box covers in the shape of your state’s volcanoes! In Seahawk InSAR no less! Only 10 available in my Etsy store and they’ll likely be gone before kickoff! phaneritic.etsy.com

Accidentally kicked and destroyed my child’s magnetile creation (a Christmas tree train). “Don’t worry,” she reassured me, “I have the skills to rebuild.”

Oh, I wish this had been published when I was designing our NSF-STEP program 15 years ago.

has anybody gotten confirmation yet from Mike Johnson that he hasn't seen the post?

all these emails between academics and Epstein are more testimony of what women in academia have to contend with 😡

We can all do something. We can all use our voice in some way. #resist

What about ✨incompetent malice✨????

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

Oh! “A federal judge on Friday ruled the Energy Department violated the law when Secretary Chris Wright handpicked five researchers who reject the scientific consensus on climate change to work in secret on a sweeping government report on global warming.”

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Thank you to everyone who came out last night for the Orangetown Dems candidate forum! It was a great evening of questions and conversation on how we beat Mike Lawler and help Hudson Valley families.

There’s a lot of expertise on Bluesky, and the remarkable thing is that the Trump regime has done something illegal in everyone’s area. It’s really a crime syndicate masquerading as government.

Maybe they'll find the Epstein files in the Fulton County Board of Elections office . . .

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

Today in chemistry we talked about the pH of climate change with the magic of red cabbage indicator 💚🩵💜🩷♥️

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Your solution is take their masks off and make them follow a code of conduct. You’re a complicit monster and every person who is tortured and murdered, whether in the streets or in camps, is blood on YOUR hands.

The tide is turning. Which means now is the time to push harder than ever. Tell your Representatives we want Noem GONE! #ICEOffOurStreets

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Truly do not know how I would have navigated life with out my "science friends" - so many of my closest friends are people I met at conferences. 🧡🤎💚 matthiasrillig.substack.com/p/friendship....

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe. Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately. www.startribune.com/man-tackled-...

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Meet Colorado's high altitude scientists! These four researchers spend their summer months collecting data in the subalpine and alpine around the Mountain Research Station. Their work spans plants, mammals, insects and lake chemistry.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

M. Gessen on ICE raids is worth your time. "It’s only natural that our brains struggle to find logic in what we are seeing. There is a logic, and this logic has a name. It’s called state terror." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

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.
