There was once a very pervasive cultural attitude in Europe and the Northeastern US that people in places with hot climates were lazy, gross, and inherently suspect, and I think some of the bias against air conditioning in these places today is a lingering hangover from that

The Onion has sent the following letter to all 535 members of Congress. This special edition will be in their physical mailboxes as they return from recess tomorrow.
We hope it inspires them to continue to cower as our essential liberties are systematically dismantled.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Abrego Garcia's isolation is the death-in-life at the heart of concentration camp regimes. They want to present what they're doing as reasonable and therefore somehow legal while terrorizing targeted groups, claiming the power to exile anyone from society, even when it's clearly outside the law.

A postdoc in my lab with a MOSAIC K99 was notified today that the program was terminated, no new funds to be awarded after this year. To revoke the pathway to independence award is so demoralizing for an early career researcher. I thought this might be coming but it still sucks.
