So do I!

Came here to say this.

Opinion | America is
a nation of stupid assholes and our laws and institutions should reflect that.

Advice distilled from an NSF PO:

Apply for NSF funding this year. Because NSF's current policy is to forward-fund active projects (e.g. pay down their mortgage on the future years of funding), there are plausible budget scenarios where NSF has a LARGE budge to spend next fiscal year (on your grant)

Watch: NSF staff protest the takeover of their building today by Gov. Youngkin and Trump's HUD, chanting "NSF! NSF!"

Some of us need to fight within the system, some of us need to create new systems, some us need to tend the wounded, some of us need to stand in the way of harm, and all of us need to support the ones doing the things that is not, right now, our thing to do. Good thing there are a lot of us.

This is cruel and crazy. I'm so sorry

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

If we could *not* do a world war, that’d be great.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The fact is that in the United States, right-wing violence
1. Is much more common than left-wing violence
2. Furthers the interests of the Republican Party, while what little left-wing violence exists mainly causes headaches for Democrats
3. Is coddled by the Republicans

Well, then to work!

Polling data from Harris & Associates 1966. Q: Do you approve of what Freedom Riders are Doing? 22% approve 61%disapprove18%no opinion.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social what's the headline?

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Weirdly heard this phrase for the first time in a Hunter Thompson book this very morning!

And damn straight I'm an "expert."

Yeah, I'm gonna spend at least 40 hours on an upcoming NSF panel for a virtual site visit and prep, and I'm gonna get paid about $500. It's a labor of love, respect, and learning.
