Just met with some lovely folks who until recently worked at USAID and their implementing partners. Moving, heartbreaking, and enraging to hear the long-term impacts and wasted potential of our sudden, chaotic abandonment of global health aid.

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets.

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him.
Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

![Dear Federico and Melissa (I have met the former, who won’t remember, but no the latter)
I received this email recently.

I was disappointed to see the Notices has stopped celebrating Heritage Months, or is at least taking a "more relaxed attitude" to them (Editorial, Feb 2025). However, if you prefer to have more regular articles about populations who have faced (and continue to face) discrimination in mathematics, may I suggest that you regularly publish some of the more insightful critics of the AMS and the greater mathematical community? [some names] In any case, since the Notices is no longer putting effort into Heritage Months, I hope that you will redistribute that effort into making the Notices a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive journal of record all year round.

I think perhaps a Zoom panel discussion could be worthwhile, which we can make into an article. I am open to suggestions for other participants. I would have some question starters, and might ask clarifying questions on behalf of the readers. This would possibly be part of a series of articles, in which contrasting viewpoints might be aired. Another possibility is a panel discussion between you and some people with contrasting views, which I would moderate. I understand that there is a risk there, but the potential reward is substantial if we have the right people.
Regards,
Mark C. Wilson

an american sociologist studying millennial relationships observed that in polycules of at least 6 either there was a triad who were each direct partners or there was a trio who mutually weren't. she asked her friend Erdős about it, and he told her this was Ramsey's theorem, not a sociological fact.

It’s so funny, there’s a long social media tradition going back 25 years of making a big deal about how you were going to quit, and then only being gone for like half a day.

Folks, I just stumbled into a stunningly cursed proof that every subset of {1,2,...,n} can be formed by taking iterated symmetric differences of the sets {1}, {1,2}, {1,2,3}, ..., {1,2,...,n}. Does anyone want to hear it?

The fact that Luigi mangione is probably like a right wing transphobe is a tragedy bc people have already written self-insert <Assassin/Reader> <Pan Assassin> <Caring Lover> <no beta we die like Brian Thompson> fanfic on Ao3 and now it’s tainted 😔

The nice thing about having a project to work on is I keep stumbling over other ideas people were having in the field as I start exploring my little corner. It's like "oooo this thing is shiny I wonder if people have a tool for looking at how shiny it is" and lo and behold...
