Absolutley heartbreaking that parents of a man gunned down by federal agents have to put out a statement because the president and his cowardly minions are defaming their son. We’re way past sick.

Dear media,
As you report on another inexcusable act of violence by ICE against the American people, remember:
HOMELAND SECURITY LIES ROUTINELY AS A MATTER OF POLICY.
If you feel compelled to include the Trump regime's version of events, you must include that context.
Thank you.

The NSF just released a "dear colleague" asking for ideas to inform its plans to restructure the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
This includes proposals to repurpose NCAR's Mesa Lab, an architectural icon below the Boulder Flatirons, for "private use."
