Guyz, even the *historians* are leaving or contemplating / likely to go. Including, at least 3 historians that I know of in my subfield. 😢

“Dysfunctional government” doesn’t even begin to describe this.

1.4 million civilian federal employees didn’t get a paycheck. And the part no one’s talking about: even if the government reopens tomorrow, we’ll be right back on the edge by November 21—the next shutdown deadline.

Chaos on repeat.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Wasn’t this just banned by a judge?

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both"

Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling.

It’s the People’s House after all.

So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement operation in LA, reports say A U.S. Marshal was shot while assisting an immigration enforcement operation, according to several reports.

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA"

Typhoon leaves flooded Alaska villages facing a storm recovery far tougher than most Americans will ever experience ‘As the storm approached Alaska, everything went sideways,’ leaving people no time to evacuate and little time to prepare. An Alaska meteorologist explains what happened and the challenges ahead.

Disasters in remote Alaska are not like disasters anywhere in the lower 48 states..While East Coast homeowners recovering from a nor’easter..can run to Home Depot for supplies or drive to a hotel if their home floods, none of that exists in remote Native villages" theconversation.com/typhoon-leav...

Today JPL lost so many incredible people. My heart hurts for every single one of them. This administration is gutting American science institutions and throwing away hyper specific experts who cannot be replaced. This is an extremely detrimental loss.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Exciting paper! Congratulations!

Wow! Congrats. Cannot wait to read this.

When fighting fascism all forms of resistance matter. Large protests are vital. Individual protests are vital. Mock. Boycott. Write/call your reps. Daily. Show up at town halls. Do what you can, when you can, where you can. I’m 68 and a product of the 60s. Never quit. Never let up. SOLIDARITY ✊🏼

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

New blood test for ALS detects early signs years before symptoms appear The blood test, with more than 98% accuracy, opens new avenues for early diagnosis, improved patient care, and potential treatment of the neurodegenerative disease

“We had always assumed that ALS was a rapid disease that starts 12 to 18 months before symptom onset," Pantelyat says. "But when we look at our findings, we see this has been a process that goes on for a decade or so before the patient ever steps into the doctor's office or clinic."
