a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

Black graphic that reads "ICE Out For Good". Underneath the text is an image of two signs reads "No ICE in our City" or "No ICE!" Underneath the images it reads "Take to the streets to protest ICE in our communities this weekend in over 1,000 rallies across the nation."

Enough is enough: ICE agents do not belong in our communities.

Europa Clipper to ‘Taste’ Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS in Historic Flyby In a historic first, NASA's Europa Clipper will fly through the tail of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Learn how its advanced instruments will 'taste' a visitor from another star.

WOW! ✨ 3I/ATLAS is only the 3rd interstellar object we've ever observed but by PURE chance NASA's Europa Clipper will fly through its tail and sample it.. The first time EVER humanity will directly sample material from outside our solar system! Mind officially blown! 🤯 Flyby ~ 30th Oct – 6th Nov

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Mind-blowing science fact of the day: 800,000 years ago the ancestral species of modern humans almost went extinct. That species, our forefathers and foremothers, lived on Earth on the precipice of extinction for over 100,000 years.

True, but will they just keep reelecting him? These people just keep voting against their own interests. SMDH

If a military parade marches down a street and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead:

House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing

Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year

Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

The brain drain will be when scientists are forced into other careers/jobs so that they can keep paying the bills. They will never return.

There aren't enough science jobs in other countries to absorb even a fraction of those laid off.

Make no mistake. This is an extinction level event for American scientific dominance.

This should be amplified across all media outlets. They have no understanding or care how much damage this bill will do if it does in fact become law. All the millionaires in congress cannot relate to 'food or meds', not to mention the loss of services. It is the Murder Bill.

Trump: I'm going to give you this tiddly wink for $1 million.

Billionaire: Why would I want that?

Trump: You can cash it in for a favor.

Billionaire: I'll take 100.

This is not a hard concept.

Also one of the things about a lot of intersectional research is that it helps a large swath of people or provides insights abt a broader scope than the particular people/groups studied. The classic example I know of is disability studies where design for disability turns out to help the gen pop +

Jill Sobule, Singer-Songwriter of Groundbreaking 1995 Song ‘I Kissed a Girl,’ Dies in House Fire Jill Sobule, whose 1995 hit 'I Kissed a Girl' is considered the first openly gay-themed song to crack the Billboard Top 20, died in a fire Thursday.

She was a friend and I've just learned about this and I'm entirely heartbroken.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.
