I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Not all sexual swellings signal fertility. Some signal strategy. In our new Current Biology paper, we show how gelada females “fake it” during male takeovers—and why it works.

Chuck Schumer after the White House meeting: "We have very large differences, on health care and on their ability to undo whatever budget we agree to... I think for the first time the president heard our objections and heard why we need a bipartisan bill."

Breaking news: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals won a federal election Monday, the country’s public broadcaster, the CBC, projected, a comeback that was fueled in part by President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and attacks on Canada.
In stunning comeback, Carney’s Liberals win Canada’s federal election
The result marked a reversal in fortunes for a party that was on track for a massive drubbing only months ago and capped a campaign upended by Trump.

We did not "cave" on DEI. The decision to reimagine DEI as something different and more effective was made in October. Our DEI department was ineffective, did not improve outcomes across the University. We spent a lot of taxpayer and tuition money and it..didn't work. That's okay!
