I love research, cats, fractions, and being outside. I am a recovering academic with a PhD in Education. Despite my posts about the craziness at my former institution, I am a believer in higher education and I think it can change lives (for the better).

In Northfield, Minnesota, masked ICE GOONS violently abducted a father. The Goons smashed a car window, beat and dragged the man at gunpoint, while his teenage son filmed the incident and begged them to stop. The father has not been seen since. (November 11, 2025)

My goofy Steve! likes watching certain tv shows. He’ll sit up tall and stack things moving on the screen.
16. Is there any specific things that your pet likes (music, food, movies, etc)?

If he is saying billion, with a B, that's about 400 pounds per person, which seems like an unhealthy amount of weight to lose. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Oz: We thought it was 125 million pounds. Our estimate is Americans will lose 135 billion pounds by the midterms

“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy
Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess).

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

The FBI director is flying his girlfriend around on private government planes while FBI agents go without paychecks and families prepare to go hungry as SNAP benefits are being suspended
Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

JB Pritzker creating the “Illinois Accountability Commission” isn’t getting enough attention. Its focus is on immigration agents & it will document abuses, capture impacts on families and communities, & recommend actions to prevent further harm. We need more of these nationwide.

That’s $500 million lost per day
Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Inflation hasn’t been this bad since the Great Depression in the 1930ies..
There was no peace on day one
Farmers struggle as crops rot, because there’s no workers
There is no job creation, as labor statistics are negative
Economy on brink of Recession
No Scientific progress
