They not only demand that you see the gun in his hand when there was none, they demand that you see a riot around him when there was none.

Remind me again which party says we should all be terrified of politicians who put criminals back on the streets?

Oh

Thou Shalt Never Again Complain About Egg Prices If You Voted For The Guy Who Canceled Food.

Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.)
Maggie Hassan (N.H.)
Sens. Jacky Rosen (Nev.),
Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.),
Jon Ossoff (Ga.),
Gary Peters (Mich.) Dick Durbin (Ill.)

the Democrats who are are considered by R's as possible “yes” votes for the deal.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Not to do TOO much Mamdani discourse this morning, but one of the reasons American racial categories are what they are is the idea that "African" is a single, coherent, and consistent racial identity. That belief is downstream of slavery ideology, and has no real salience for actual reality.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

Break it, un-break it, take credit for it. Every time.

I feel like getting the phrase “George W. Trump” trending on social media is all it would take to deter him from going to war with Iran

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

What if putting the stupidest people in charge was a mistake?

Blocking universities from selling their product to foreigners will drive up the cost of tuition for Americans. More and more student debt for Americans.

Hahahaha like sign my approval form?

Yes same- one of my examples was “are you going into labor and can’t find anyone to watch toddler? That is text content please reach out to me- need feedback on how to structure your results or a question about data collection? That’s an email! Please email me that.

I give my advisees my number once they begin their diss- and I go over what is appropriate text content vs email.

I love bad math posts. Makes for great real-world teaching content.

Afternoon IPL games seem cruel.

Justice Sotomayor warned in her dissent yesterday that deporting American citizens is the plan. The Biden family. The Clintons, Mike Pence, LizCheney, Adam Kinzinger and the entire Jan6 committee are at risk of deportation. Trump will throw them in prison and deport them as criminals. It is coming.

I love my bed so much like truly my favorite place on earth

Anyone in my circle want to chat about the drama in the IPL?

I love this paper on developing a streamlined process for sharing data through direct personal requests (e.g., collaborators, students, etc.). It walks through the typical stages of that process and also provides factors that you may consider adding in a DUA.

I know I make this point perennially, but the Millennial rage will be a real force in American politics very, very soon.

I have a theory that Trump wrote a paper in business school about how tariffs are good for a national economy, got a bad grade because that argument is wrong (maybe from a woman professor), and is spending the rest of his life trying to prove he was right.

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.”

Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.

They can't keep spewing carbon.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.

They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.
