Given unfortunate topical relevance to numerous recent events, I'm sharing an excerpt from our 2025 review paper on "hydroclimate whiplash" that summarizes the body of research pointing to preferential intensification of the *very most extreme* rain events in a warming climate.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

Hey folks.
Mentors matter.

If you’re lucky enough to find 1, let them kno what they mean to you.
Now.
Cuz someday you won’t be able to.
In 1 case, I missed my chance.
I hope I made it thru to someone days ago.
Mentors are unselfish, generous, & think beyond themselves.
Thank them for it

⚠️ The White House budget proposal would fully eliminate IMLS—the only federal agency for library services—in FY2026. This would gut access to information and opportunity, especially in rural areas.

It was a long week, but today ended with two voting rights victories in Pennsylvania and Trump's executive order targeting my old law firm being permanently blocked by a federal judge in DC.
My advice: stay hopeful, stay strong, stay informed.
