Incredibly thrilled by Zohran Mamdani's winning of the democratic primary for NYC Mayor. A huge, huge win for progressives and the Democratic Socialists at large.

New actin probe from @veselin-nasufovic.bsky.social et al! SiR-XActin and its variants are more photostable and less perturbative than SiR-actin or FastAct. And it's already available from @spirochrome.com! With some beautiful data from @chillinwithpfn1.bsky.social:

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:
Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984
Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.
Barron was born in March 2006
Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.
Trump’s entire family would be deported.
