Heidi Sabnani

@heidisabnani.bsky.social is speaking to my math soul about math anxiety. I'm listening Dr. Sabnani!

Trump has been president for less than 5 years – about 2% of the history of this country. He's responsible for 22% of the national debt. The budget issue is a Republican long con that has worked spectacularly with people who don't believe in facts.

Teen Hannah Cairo's Mathematical Discovery Sends Ripples through Harmonic Analysis When she was just 17 years old, Hannah Cairo disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, breaking a four-decade-old mathematical assumption

I had an enlightening conversation with mathematician Hannah Cairo about how she broke a huge conjecture in Harmonic Analysis at just 17 years old, what being a transgender mathematician means to her and how math has supported her along her journey! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌊 ✨

NPR President and CEO Katherine Maher on NPR Funding:

This is not about balancing the federal budget. The appropriation for public broadcasting, including NPR and PBS, represents less than 0.0001% of the federal budget.

Every $1 of federal funding generates $7 from local sources

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

A lot of people don’t really understand the extent to which “financially stable” relies on a functional government and social safety net. The downstream effect of this many people losing their healthcare, their jobs, and their citizenship will be A LOT of financial instability across demographics.

The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic.

Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting adjudicating this case. But if this Court wishes to permit the Government to flout the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Due Process Clause, it cannot avoid accountability for that lawlessness by tasking the lower courts with inventing a rationale. The Court's continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions in this case, even as it faults lower courts for failing properly to divine their import, is indefensible. * "In a democracy, power implies responsibility. The greater the power that defies law the less tolerant can this Court be of defiance. As the Nation's ultimate judicial tri-bunal, this Court, beyond any other organ of society, is the trustee of law and charged with the duty of securing obedience to it." Mine Workers, 330 U.S., at 312 (Frankfurter, J., concurring in judgment). This Court continues to invert those principles. Today's order clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial. Respectfully, I dissent.

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelled—without due process—to South Sudan, where they face torture and death.

Dissenting, Sotomayor says the court’s “indefensible” decision makes it complicit in “lawlessness.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

when you say shit like “who got to them?” or “they were blackmailed” you’re painting them sympathetically. stop doing that. they’re not victims, they’re grown people who made a conscious choice.

No One Is Illegal On Stolen Land—ICE Versus the Indigenous in MAGA's America Where would they send us?

Under Trump, ICE and border patrol are targeting and detaining Indigenous peoples. This piece doesn’t just tell a story. It challenges how we talk about borders, citizenship, and belonging.
