BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Another thing re antidotes... the people you love, who you value... be in the moment with them. Not distracted, not on your phone, but fully present. Open to them. So you can see them and be seen. This feels even more important right now.
Destabilization of reality in the US is about to reach surreal heights. Protect your mind. Monitor stress levels. Do not doomscroll--it does not help. Be selective about when and how long you expose your brain to this. Do what you can when you can.

Lemme get this straight: Trump issues an EO in 2020 claiming TikTok presents a national security threat. It is then almost unanimously banned by Congress. Supreme Court agrees. The party line is it's a national threat. TikTok then goes dark with an appeal that only Trump can bring it back...

My advisor warned me that academics trend towards bitterness. He encouraged me to intentionally resist this, remember where I came from, and never forget the privilege of getting to spend a life working with knowledge and ideas. He too said that bitterness and resentment is easy.
In high school, my social studies teacher took me aside and told me that "cynicism was the easy path" and that I needed to resist it. It's probably the most important thing I learned in school.
Happy New Year. 11/11

So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.
