Over 1,200 miles in the car this weekend, to and from the far corners of Kansas. Up by 5 and home after midnight, making every hour count: tabling with the party, meeting supporters, lecturing on negotiation strategy, and seeing a bald eagle strike.

God, I love Kansas.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists β€œviolent” and said they are involved in β€œriots.” But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents.

β€œThere’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to familyβ€”more than familyβ€”checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me.

If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it β€œneighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that β€œit is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, β€˜I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I have had SROs step into those discussions and say "that's not required, nor the only mission of the NIH!" but then I've gotten those comments in my critiques, so it's clearly not every SRO.

Our study, published today in Nature, reveals how predatory aggression evolved in nematodes.

Of course. And, every single time, I tell the story of the Google code starting with an NSF GRFP, just to remind the numbskull dipshits that the NSF has paid for itself a bazillion times over. Not that it matters, it's just screaming into the void.

We should only fund research that will have huge impact and not fund research that won't. Fortunately, these are easy to distinguish.
