The fact that her reaction is almost certainly opportunistic makes this more, not less, significant.

I received my graduate training at one of the national labs. They literally made me the scientist I am today. What a narrow-minded, short-sighted travesty. It makes me so angry!

This is exactly right. The idea that we are all Americans is the most divisive idea in American history.

So excited to share our latest research, just out in Nature Communications! We've developed a method to probe protein conformation in whole blood, and used it to look for conformational biomarkers of disease in a Type 2 diabetes mouse model. Big thanks to Lisa Jones for her collaboration! 🧪

This is pretty much a free union advertisement.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind. This op-ed was written by Kathrine Mangu-Ward. Katherine is editor-in-chief of Reason magazine. Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Was 5 Yr-Old ICE Detainee Liam Ramos in Super Bowl Halftime Show Getting Grammy From Bad Bunny?

If the Seahawks punter doesn't at least get an interview after that performance, then there is no justice in this sport.

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

That is cool on all sides!

Jurassic Park is a movie about the unparalleled arrogance of tech bros and the tragedy that inevitably follows that hubris. Xfinity spends millions of dollars to tell the world: "I bet we could have made Jurassic Park work!"

I'll be honest: if he wasn't drawing hate from all the worst people, I would probably skip the Bad Bunny halftime show. No shade, it's just not for me. But now I've gotta watch out of spite.

Is it just me, or have the AI commercials been pushing AI for the kinds of creative and critical thinking tasks that it's the worst at?

So apparently Page Six is an entertainment magazine that knows absolutely nothing about art. Green Day performed songs from the American Idiot album, one of the most political albums of my adult life. They played "American Idiot" which has been used as an explicitly anti-Trump anthem.

MAHA leaders rose to power via their COVID disinformation. Today, they are recycling those myths to minimize measles and distract from their inability to contain it. My latest. sciencebasedmedicine.org/newagain-2/

Even with the so-called "drawdown," many Minneapolis area activists say little has changed since hundreds of agents left and they're preparing for prolonged resistance. The anxiety remains palpable after two fatal shootings of US Citizens by federal agents in January. https://cnn.it/4rAFZ34

SCOOP: Freedom 250 — the group launched by Trump to oversee projects including the @UFC fight on the WH lawn & his arch overlooking DC — is offering access to him for donors who give $1M. For $2.5M, donors are being offered the chance to speak at the national July 4 celebration. 🎁🔗

Aw man! Shitty day. RIP to a guy who played guitar in a band that did not sound like a single other band

Of course RFK Jr. lied about the Samoan people whose deaths from measles he is responsible for. Literally no one believed his lies except people like Bill Cassidy who chose to believe him in order to please the King. And now RFK Jr. will continue to get people killed by preventable diseases.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Bad news today. The administration finalized a plan to remove civil service protections from about 50,000 federal workers, with no exemption for statistical or scientific agency personnel. This erodes protection of those agencies from political influence. www.govexec.com/workforce/20... #econsky

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017. He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

To all the non-academics who don't understand the point of academic freedom and don't care to learn about it, let me give you a factor you might care about: Tenure is the biggest reason you get my services at a steep discount over my private sector value.

It's cute that Roger Wicker thinks inadequate medical care and sanitation infrastructure for detainees would be counted as a negative to Trump's and Miller's ICE. Wait, not "cute". "Hopelessly and incredibly naive". Yeah, that's it.

For decades, nativists have sold America this narrative that immigrant welfare is behind our deficits and debt. This figure shows how absurd that is. This is all government expenditures, federal, state, and local, for the last 3 decades. Immigrants are not to blame:

One point we make in our piece on the intellectual roots of Stephen Miller's worldview is that cosmopolitanism, which is the antithesis of everything he believes, is a prize inheritance from "western civilization" newrepublic.com/article/2041...

In my career, I have trained and recommended many women. In that time, I have not once mentioned any of their appearance. If it was a position where I genuinely thought appearance would help my student, I would have advised against applying for the position for that reason. That's a mentor's job.

The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

These are the curves for new and competitive renewal grants. The number of new awards is increasing slightly, but only slightly. 17 out of 25 institutes and centers with funding authority have now made awards. 3/4

American citizen shot by ICE: The agent who shot me sent disgusting text messages to his Border Patrol buddies, literally bragging about how many times he shot me. I got sick to my stomach seeing how a federal law enforcement officer will talk this way about shooting me, a woman who he swerved into.

It's amazing how many people in my general field haven't grasped how MYF is likely to impact and harm research in the next few years.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

French prosecutors raided the offices of social media platform X on Tuesday as part of a preliminary investigation into allegations including spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes. www.mississippifreepress.org/paris-prosec...

The inescapable conclusion that neither the NYT nor WaPo editorial board can bring themselves to make is that this administration has to end. Its response to these killings—let alone the killings themselves—is obscene and totally disqualifying.

No one that's served as secret police can ever have a position of authority or trust again.

So, when all the murderers and crooks inevitably get pardoned by Trump or his successor, can the incoming D administration just agree to honor any foreign warrants and turn over former government officials for foreign trial? Could I see Hegseth on trial in front of a Venezuelan jury for murder?

Sunday: Todd Blanche goes on the talk shows to deny that Trump had any role in directing the Fulton County FBI raids. Monday: Trump had a role in directing the FBI raids. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Oh look, they've put out their Greatest Hits album.

Jeffrey Epstein did not stop raping children after his 2008 conviction. Jeffrey Epstein did not stop facilitating the rape of children after his 2008 conviction. He kept doing it. That is the context of people treating him as a normal person after his conviction. /1 www.cnn.com/2020/01/15/u...

Ah, just received one of the classic "You need to do the work proposed in the grant before we fund the grant" reviews. If you ever find yourself writing a grant review like this: stop.

You could add up all the corruption in US history from every Administration and not even sniff Trump’s year in office. Every other President in history gets impeached unanimously for this. Every one.

This was a bribe. UAE royals gave the Trump family $500 million, and Trump, in his presidential capacity, gave them access to tightly guarded American AI chips. The most powerful person on the planet, also happens to be the most shamelessly corrupt.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire. It looks like organized crime taking place in a third-world country, because it is.
