This was an incredible story to hear on my run this morning and has stayed with me. Meaningful, interesting, and inspiring.
This Radiolab episode is one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of science communication I've come across in a long time.
Do yourself a favor and take some time to listen to this story of astrophysicist Charity Woodrum, and what she's learned from her work and life

Earlier this week, Sinclair said it would replace "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with a documentary about Charlie Kirk during the Friday time slot that Kimmel occupies on its ABC affiliates.
Friday evening, Sinclair pulled the documentary and aired "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.

If someone gets upset at your actions and then you get upset at their reaction to your actions, that's not the same thing. Holding someone accountable for their actions is not negativity.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.
She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.
This is what bans do.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS.
They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news.
Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED.

Susan Crawford is now the best hope for Democrats and progressives to strike the first electoral blow against Musk and Trump’s plans for oligarchy.
Whatever happens, the race will show whether the US is swinging toward an insurmountable oligarchy or whether democracy still has a fighting chance.

Resources to help union members know their rights and ensure they are prepared to defend themselves and the immigrant members of their families and communities in the event of workplace or community raids ⬇️
Immigrants are vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.
Stoking fear about immigrants and mass deporting people whose labor makes our country prosper is a betrayal of our values, and a recipe for economic disaster.
