Oh, you know, just a metro daily newspaper running a service journalism roundup of munitions the government has used against its own people

The people who are shoveling out sidewalks and cars at 3am is fascinating. I have a neighbor carefully digging out a bit of sidewalk with a hammer for over an hour. Ting ting ting as it hits ice at the coldest part of the day.

Amazon announced it will slash another 16,000 jobs.
That's in addition to the 14,000 jobs that were cut last October.
Apparently Amazon doesn't have the money to pay employees but it has more than enough money to throw at a crappy movie on Melania Trump.

The House Armed Services Committee also was not briefed, I've confirmed.
News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

As physicists/astronomers, we need to articulate a different political vision of who we are in the world and that means articulating a different political vision of the world. That means engaging with cries for justice and realizing that our future is tied to them. And that's all I've been saying.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.
It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.
ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.
28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

I walked out of an advance screening ing of the Housemaid. There was a disclaimer not to spoil the plot twist. Which I can't because I didn't make it that far, but there was no way I was going to enjoy the rest of the film no matter how it turned out.

A reminder that eels are critically endangered and are still a major part of the licit and illicit economy in Asia, Europe, and parts of the US (lookin’ at you, Maine)
Valuable eels are in decline all over the world, leading to a new push for restrictions on trade to try to help stave off extinction.
Eel populations are falling, and new protections were defeated. Japan and the US opposed them
