Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.

The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.

1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

🚀 The @marimo.io YouTube channel crossed 1k subscribers today — just two weeks after its launch!

marimo is best understand by seeing it in action. In his latest video, the one and only @koaning.bsky.social gives a bird's eye overview of what sets marimo apart:

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Homepage - openRxiv
openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

A thoughtful read on Learning Health Systems by @tomfoley.bsky.social and @leorahorwitzmd.bsky.social. Developing a learning health system is far more than a project in want of a technical fix; these are sociotechnical systems. bit.ly/3Deo1A9

Using interventions (PerturbSeq)

to move from

correlation (GWAS hit)

to

causation (gene -> gene program -> trait)

to

knowledge representation (graphs).
Modern GWAS can identify 1000s of significant hits but it can be hard to turn this into biological insight. What key cellular functions link genetic variation to disease?

I'm very excited to present our new work combining associations and Perturb-seq to build interpretable causal graphs! A 🧵

#Sora is back in the headlines and some claim that it's a physics engine and a world simulator.

I don't think so, and I think you should not buy into this either.
