Tuesday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress! I'm against taking from those who need help in order to give to those who don't need help. The bizarro Robin Hood has no place in a civilized nation. Stay strong, everyone.

Hey #MathSky, the AMS has built a handy form letter thing where you can email your reps and senators about NSF. I took a few minutes to use it, and I encourage you to do so too - it both sends our message to Washington and lets AMS know we would love it to be more active in defending mathematics!

I'm struggling with this so much. Set theory is the foundation of proof based #mathematis. It's based on set membership, set inclusion and exclusion -inclusion. That's basic mathematics. All proof based mathematics is based on it it's the first math course that's all we all take. #mathsky #mathchat
