I’ll bet you dollars to donuts Scott Turner decided the Weaver building was too old and demanded that NSF be kicked of their brand new building. This is so ridiculously wasteful and I am so angry for the people who still work at NSF desperately trying to hold our scientific infrastructure together.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

NEW: The two refugees that sparked Spokane’s mass immigration protest? They came here through a gov humanitarian parole program & were in the asylum process. They did everything they were ‘supposed to do’, & were picked up by ICE anyway. Here’s what we know. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.
