I know there is a lot happening, but this is also very very bad. BWCA is special and needs to be preserved.
More importantly, it is PROTECTED land. If they can strip this, there will be nothing stopping them from digging up Yellowstone, chopping down Sequoia, and building mansions in Acadia.

BREAKING: The House passed H.J. Res. 140—stripping protections from the Boundary Waters and handing 225,000 acres to a Chilean mining corp. The Senate is our last chance. 📞 Call: (202) 224-3121, say "Vote NO on H.J. Res. 140." Final stand.

This isn’t official, but the unofficial word is that the source code for trinket will be made open source with documentation for running it on a server essentially the same as the current trinket. No word on an export tool, but it has been requested.
I know this feels minor now but trinket.io is going away. Act accordingly if you have a bunch of stuff there (@rhettallain.bsky.social)

Great meeting! (Apparently holding a microphone doesn’t stop my gesticulating habit.) #AAPTWM26
#AAPTWM26 Even more great sessions: Computing in the Classroom: AI and PICUP, Enhancing Classroom Engagement - Part II, and PER: Assessing Impact. #AAPTConference #AAPTMeeting

This was a fantastic episode of the Cautionary Tales podcast about one woman’s fight to keep Thalidomide off the market. Even if you know the story, you may not know how the current secretary of HHS got almost all the facts wrong when he discussed it. https://overcast.fm/+AA5K6ZqrU5A

I can not login to the INCLUDES Coordination Hub, nor can I seem to reset my password.
Mere minutes ago, the Eddie Bernice INCLUDES Coordination Hub also just publicly announced on its listserv about having to shutter all activities.
And as a reminder: The INCLUDES program is 👏 required 👏 by 👏 law. CHIPS and Science mandated it 2022.
And it expands opportunities for *all* Americans.

This is one of the absolute best resources out there for science teachers to use to help students visualize and understand scientific processes. It was a godsend during the pandemic when in-person labs were not possible. And it's free for all to use. So disappointing. 🧪🎢 ⚛️ 🥽 🍎 #WithoutNSF #SaveNSF
1/7 💔 We are very disappointed to announce that on April 25, NSF terminated a $1.5M PhET grant – our Pathways to Open Source Ecosystems Phase II grant for advancing PhET’s SceneryStack project. Learn how this impacts our work and how you can help: bit.ly/PhETNSF2025

I just learned that The Organization for Physics at Two-Year Colleges had its funding terminated by NSF today.
This is absolutely gut-wrenching.
Someone help me make sense of how hurting physics education at community colleges is making America great.

I wouldn't be surprised if NSF didn't release another dollar for the rest of the year at this rate.
“NSF will not allow funding for any supplements to active NSF awards for the rest of the fiscal year (i.e., until October 1) due to agency uncertainties.”

DuPage Dems Chair here… we’re leading in 48 of 49 partisan races and only down in the one by 35 votes. Several of our townships have never had an elected Dem, and it’s sweep after sweep tonight.
This is just getting comical now for the DuPage County GOP, in Trump+1 Addison Township (a rare Republican-trending portion of the County):
-The INCUMBENT Republicans for Clerk & Township Supervisor are LOSING
-Democrats are currently winning 4 out 4 Township Board seats, ALL AGAINST INCUMBENTS!
