As physicists/astronomers, we need to articulate a different political vision of who we are in the world and that means articulating a different political vision of the world. That means engaging with cries for justice and realizing that our future is tied to them. And that's all I've been saying.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.
It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.
ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.
28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

I walked out of an advance screening ing of the Housemaid. There was a disclaimer not to spoil the plot twist. Which I can't because I didn't make it that far, but there was no way I was going to enjoy the rest of the film no matter how it turned out.

A reminder that eels are critically endangered and are still a major part of the licit and illicit economy in Asia, Europe, and parts of the US (lookin’ at you, Maine)
Valuable eels are in decline all over the world, leading to a new push for restrictions on trade to try to help stave off extinction.
Eel populations are falling, and new protections were defeated. Japan and the US opposed them

With its hateful rhetoric, the right seeks to cast gender identity not as something you are, but as something dangerous that you believe. We aren’t against trans people, just their ideology.
Yet the end goal is the same: to wipe out transness itself. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Attention is on NEETs today, but the problem is much worse.
NEETs include stay-at-home parents & jobseekers.
Strip those out to focus on people not working, not seeking work, not in education & not parenting: this group of economically & socially dislocated young adults has *doubled* in a decade.

Black folk aren't as concerned about Trump the individual as white folk are. We're not.🤷🏿♂️
Because a lot of white folk in the US view Trump as the problem. They think he changed how white people think.
No.
Black folk know that the racism was always there. Trump just let them take the mask off.
