"Find your political home" remains, for me at least, the single best guiding star in times of crisis and chaos.

Individuals can doomscroll and post and have big feelings; groups can take meaningful action. Maybe it's an activist org, union, student group, career, collective/crew, etc (1/3)

Reminder: the Trump admin put a 22-year-old in charge of the country’s domestic terrorism prevention office.

He graduated college last year. And has no known national security expertise.

But he did work for the Trump campaign.

If you or someone you are protesting with gets hit by one of these compounds, knowing how to act can help alleviate symptoms and provide relief.

Read about what you need to know about these compounds, and what to do if you’re affected by it.

Very good to have these days of empowerment and unity as our cities gird for the militarized assaults on our immigrant neighbors by ICE coming up soon. What happened in LA is coming to us. Now is the time to take courage from our neighbors, and stand strong.

Having conversations about the mental and physical fitness of the public servants we elect is important and necessary. We know they are important in our families, even when difficult. It's not disloyal, even if it FEELS that way. Not being honest about these things just creates more problems,always.

I created a R script to see how many times one of those words came up in my recent NSF grant submission. The answer was 355 (!) times. Laughing but crying. Mostly crying.

Here's the code if you want to try it on your grant: github.com/calvinklai/d...

Between his attacks on NIH, NSF, and higher ed generally, Trump has very nearly placed a moratorium on public scientific research in this country, yet legacy media seems determined to frame it exclusively as a snit over Harvard.

People have been taking bricks from the sidewalk outside the Stonewall National Monument and placing them under the sign organically. You can try to use the power of government to erase Trans people, but the people will keep remembering no matter what.

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.
