Our long awaited equipment installations began this week with the set up of our 600 Evo standard bore magnet for solid-state NMR!

Doug Lyons from @brukercorporation.bsky.social will be pumping the magnet soon, and charging sometime next week.

New, by me: A must-read NYT Magazine report showed how Senator Chuck Grassley's oversight work as Judiciary Committee chair led to career FBI agents or supervisors being forced out, in some cases with no investigation supporting their alleged wrongdoing.

indulged in some FB trolling this weekend, as this woman is perpetually angry at our local natural foods cooperative for posting very standard small biz things like "We stand with Minnesota" and that they were raising $ for Ames Pride

She DEMANDS that they "keep their politics" out of their biz

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.
I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

"In 2015, Betanzo was among the earliest technical experts to warn that Flint’s switch to the Flint River without corrosion control posed a serious lead risk and urged her childhood friend, Mona Hanna-Attisha, to test the blood of local children." -@garretellison.bsky.social

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.

Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."
Trump Changes Course in Minneapolis
The White House has been met with broad outcry over the killing of Alex Pretti, as well as pushback from Congress.

Happy "large boulder the size of a small boulder" day to all who celebrate.

I feel like I should drive Hwy 145 this summer, just for fun. (One of our favorite childhood spots lies along this highway.)
Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

Murphy says that it's about getting ICE back to "obeying the law." So ... we already have the laws. What are these proposals actually going to do differently?

Abolish ICE. Dismantle DHS. Remove power. Define and enforce consequences. Otherwise its just window dressing.
Here's Senator Chris Murphy's extended discussion of this group of restrictions on ICE:
