NSF needs to hear from you. Among other points, I suggested: keep politics out of science; stop using the threat of cancelling scientific grants to try to control universities; increase NSF funding for fundamental research. Pls send around. Deadline is January 27. Thanks www.nsf.gov/od/updates/n...

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Minneapolis groups call for ‘general strike’. "...several local unions—including Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, and St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28—have lent their support to the strike." www.commondreams.org/news/minneap...

“The suspension of Mel Curth, a graduate instructor at the University of Oklahoma (OU), stemming from a grading dispute with a student, is an egregious violation of widely accepted principles of academic freedom and due process.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

"I didn’t feel like writing this week, but God decided to lay it on thick, so here we are." The first two weeks of this year have seemed like a decade. It's no small comfort to have @sarahkendzior.bsky.social to help guide us through the madness.

I'm just blown away at how much the average American has taken for granted. Just floored at how nonchalant they were about voting for the "vibes" and "concepts of a plan" guy. Society hangs in the balance and people are just barely aware of what they stand to lose at this very moment.

The point of invoking the Insurrection Act is, in part, to corrode local sovereignty, to tell a D-run city that they are incapable of governance without corruption. (And to show others). Hence why Miller and Homan keep making it about “sanctuary cities.”

Bike nerds since the demise of Light&Motion what are your fave brands/models I have to replace most of my aging L&M stuff. They were really good to me wrt customer service so I was pretty loyal. Dates back to a situation at 2003 24h of Moab that impressed hell out of me.

Everything Trump Touches Dies #ETTD www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

I’m here for evo eco colleagues lemme know

Why aren't more white people reacting to fascism in this country? I don't understand.

Abolish ICE. That’s it. You get my vote this fall if you will work towards that. @lexydoherty.bsky.social are you making this promise for GA10?

i dunno what you can say to get electeds to do anything if “they flashbanged a baby” doesn’t do it

As much as we despair that the congressional Republicans won’t defy Trump, I also don’t get Democrats not pressuring their leadership to read the tear gassed room.

I am very interested in the political identity formation happening here. This is not U.S. patriotism, it’s state-based. Deploying the L'etoile du Nord (The Star of the North) state motto is a fascinating rhetorical move and a deeply worrying, though perhaps necessary, political one.

Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

He really is doing all of it.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

It really is just this. Trump is a rapist who cares about the violation of consent part far more than the actual sex. His appetite has shifted to far grander rapes. He raped the East Wing. He raped the Venezuelan government. He's raping Minneapolis, and he wants to rape Greenland.

Not a single day in 2025 was cooler than the 1991-2020 average, on a global scale. @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social

Unbelievable!

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

this, driving a person to suicide because they had the temerity to want to work in public service, is what russ vought hoped to accomplish

Ocean heat content increased by 23 billion trillion joules, which was around 39 times greater than global primary energy use this year. This is the largest rise in OHC since 2017; overall OHC has increased by over 500 zettajoules since the 1940s.

www.bikemag.com/news/cannond... been a while since i had one but I’ve owned several Cannondales including a tandem. Genuinely appreciate all the innovation, the Tinker Juarez days, Missy Giove, headshoks and Brad.

This should be a national shutdown

Yeah man all my friends in Minnesota are buying high viz vests and forming human chains at class dismissals because ICE is targeting and tear gassing schools. I wonder why parents would want information about that.

Crazy proud of - and happy for - my great neighbor Dr. Beth Burch for this new book!

Now think of all the murders ICE and CBP have covered up in the past?

Even if you commit a crime, the cops aren’t supposed to shoot you.

It's easier to tear down than build up, and in science we have a bad case of that. So: how to lead a journal club that actually finds value in what you read. scientistseessquirre... 🧪

Thanks to Star Scott's "Green Lab" program at UGA interacting with county recycling center, we recycled nearly 16kg of lab plastics today :)

ICE violence 'is the America Native people have known since the first Europeans arrived. We know what happens when dehumanization becomes policy and violence becomes procedure. Atrocities become not only possible, but inevitable.' nativenewsonline.net/opinion/nati...

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.
