Horrified by the death of our Massachusetts neighbor Emmanuel Damas in ICE custody. He was denied medical care for months.

Iโ€™m sending his family my deepest condolences. A family who has been robbed of their brother & son.

Emmanuel is at least the tenth person to die in ICE custody this year.

My latest "forcing myself to be on camera" summary of a recent article. I did this in one take (you can tell ๐Ÿ˜‚) and I'm trying not to obsess over my filler words or odd facial expressions. The study I'm talking about is genuinely fascinating. It's linked from my article ๐Ÿงชโš›๏ธ

When someone says โ€žScientists do not want you to knowโ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They canโ€™t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

A weekend when a decade happened But Operation Epic Fury is not the only potentially epic news

"Often we spend so much time considering the Great Man theory of history to the detriment of the Big Tech theory of history."

This - from Nick Bryant - is one of the most thoughtful pieces I've read about this weekend's momentous world events. historyneverended.substack.com/p/a-weekend-...

Over 20 people injured by the massive Russian attack on Ukraine last night. Thousands of people without electricity.

Every time I type up these long lists of injuries,deaths,losses,destruction, damages, I think how little they convey the reality of the Russian attacks.

I thought about what to write today, but I am so tired of us all ignoring the twelve years that Ukraine is defending Europe. I remain in awe of the resilience of the people of Ukraine, and will keep supporting them. This artwork is by Ukrainian artist Bogdana Chilikina: โ€˜TUT LYUDYโ€™ (โ€˜PEOPLE HEREโ€™).
