Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out.

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

Sign of the times: next week I'm going to a Pacific Northwest gravitational wave meeting at the LIGO site in Washington. The University of British Columbia sends ppl every year, but is not attending this time bc their university advises them to not cross the border into the US at this time. 🧪🔭

This story makes me so incandescently angry. From the demons who killed him to the cops who shrugged off his attempts to find help to the news media that presented his death like an accident to the entertainment industry that used him for a punchline & threw him away. A plague on all your houses.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
