Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

I'm from NorCal and have lived in LA for 10 years now. Up to this point I have resisted rooting for the Dodgers. Now they've given me no choice.

A drug called lenacapavir, administered in two injections a year, offers protection from HIV comparable to daily pills. One looming question: Will it be affordable for lower resource countries?

Don’s right. Trumpism not just permits, but demands, overt hostility to a wide array of American values, institutions, culture, and people. Trumpism hates much more of America than it loves.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

Charlie Kirk is peak cringe. Sorry, but I’m not shelling out a fortune in tuition just to watch my daughter groomed into submission by some Christian conservative dude with 1950s values and a podcast mic. My daughter is her own woman.

Not necessarily your problem to solve, but heterogeneous reactions present their own set of challenges to scale-up that all have to do with mass transfer/mixing. All things being equal, process chemists are going to prefer a soluble reductant. But they never are equal, are they?

Incredibly important read. This is exactly what LAPD did to me and two other legal observers standing on a quiet street corner this past weekend—except with rubber bullets, not pepperballs, and aimed at our heads, not our feet. …oh, and the officer waved tauntingly right before shooting at us.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Water is such a weird substance. Just absolutely bizarre. It's used as a standard or reference point for so much because it's so ubiquitous, but it's very different than pretty much every other liquid and every molecule of similar size.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

Here's a short video that should give you the essence of our local No Kings day of defiance for LA's South Bay, held in Torrance w/20,000 strong. An amazing day of energy, optimism, anger, hope, and community rolled into one. Enjoy. youtu.be/UmAC9PH6Hw0

Clearly the officer had a fentanyl-induced hallucination. That can happen with nanogram aerosol exposure I've heard.

Great day for a peaceful No Kings rally in Torrance, CA. Awesome event, super energetic and peaceful. Probably 20-30K in attendance, definitely the biggest of the 3 rallys I've attended so far. #nokings
