Today's Nobel Prize in Chemistry is for the discovery and stabilization of metal-organic frameworks, stable networks of metal ions and carbon (organic) molecules

Applications of these porous compounds include catalysis and pollution remediation

I will be the first to admit: I am scared. I am scared of what Trump is doing to our country, our communities, and our neighbors. But just because I am scared does not mean I am helpless. Instead, I will stand up and speak out, Marc Elias writes.

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You?

The far-right regime currently running the country into the ground thinks the dancing characters on the streets of Portland are domestic terrorists. Hardly!!!!!

Keep in mind these are the same people who will cut Medicaid & increase your healthcare premiums without a blink of an eye.

I was in Chicago a year ago, a city full of joy, friendship, & community! ✨

The only hiccup was a delegate bus blockade by *checks notes* MAGA protesters. IYKYK.
We had to walk blocks to the United Center. Even so, it was peaceful.

Chicago is GORGEOUS - we can’t wait to go back! 💙

#AZ07 voters are being denied their representation by speaker Mikey & the current regime. Their refusal to swear in duly elected Adelita implies a whole lot of republikkklans must be in the #EpsteinFiles by this massive attempted coverup.

Thus far, ICE and CBP in the Chicago region killed an immigrant

Shot a woman 5 times-after allegedly taunting her, saying “Do something, b****”

And shot a priest-who wasn’t remotely a threat-in the head

So when does Governor Pritzker deploy the National Guard to protect citizens from these thugs

I have an idea! 💡
If Carney and Trump reach a trade deal, Canadians can simply forget what ICE has done to our tourists. It'll be safe to travel. 😊 #satire

I wonder if Felon Pig realizes that stories like the torture of Jasmine Mooney have circulated on Canadian news. Word gets around.

Trump says Canadians will travel to the US again after a trade deal is worked out

President Donald Trump predicts that Canadians will travel to the United States once again after a trade deal is reached.

Erin Wax believes that Alcoholics Anonymous can inspire left-wing movements, such as by helping people:
• recover from capitalistic indulgence,
• build trust with people joining the left,
• create constructive ways to hold disagreements, and
• remain nonreactive during conflict.

How 12-step programs can help build healthier movements

The 12-step method that began with Alcoholics Anonymous is a form of mutual aid that can help movements take better care of each other.

Project Fulcrum:
« We could translate nuanced political analysis and campaign calls to action into language that mirrored what fans were used to seeing on “Andor” or in their Discord threads. »

Why fandom organizing is a powerful strategy for movement building

As the Disney/ABC boycott took off, youth activist group Get Free mobilized its “Andor” fan community to amp up the pressure.
