Minnesota should lead the way to protect children. Ban assault weapons, ban high capacity magazines, fund schools. No parent should ever have to worry if the fleet of ambulances coming in has their shot child in it.

This is my daughter. Today was her last day of preschool in downtown Minneapolis. She heard all the ambulances bringing shot children to HCMC. School should be safe. Guns are for hunting deer not children. We need more research and actual actions on gun control and mental health resources.

Today was the funeral for Ternesha Burroughs. She was an amazing math teacher and union leader in Osseo. Both Zach and I worked with her at 279. She was such a good person! Thank you @governorwalz.mn.gov for being there and the proclamation. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Two graduations this week! Juniper graduated from preschool and my brother defended his PhD. Two UMN PhDs in the family now!

The GOP is no longer in the closet about their cruelty and desire to crash our economy so billionaires can have tax cuts

I listened to the beautiful service for the Hortmans while I planted some flowers in their memory. Then biked over to see the final part outside. So many good decent politicians there while a group in Washington is plotting how to steal healthcare from the poor to give tax cuts to the rich.

Me and my sign are ready for the Tampa No Kings as soon as they let us out from grading these tests. Protesting the attacks on science, minorities and immigrants. #physics #nokings #fundscience

Packing for the AP physics grading in 2025. Clothes check, protest sign for the no kings rally check. Physics graders join me in Tampa immediately after we are done Sat!

Basically all of Eric Mazurs lab at Harvard was defunded. Photonics and physics education. This directly affects the livelihood of many amazing scientists. If anyone has resources to help us keep our teacher network going (PoLS-T) please pass them along. #nsf #physics #physicsteachers

This is my final science funding update for my undergrad classes. STEM students need to know how much this admin is screwing them over.

Good turnout despite the rain threat and traffic! Doge has cancelled multiple physics education grants I work on. DHS has terrorized a friend over social media posts supporting due process for immigrants. We all need to #resist #50501movement #Indivisible #Minnesota #physics

I know this doesn't compare to the possibility that any of us can be disappeared by our government but look at what they are doing to the dollar. This makes lots of things more expensive and could really cause long term problems with our debt. Not to mention my trip to Europe just went up 10%
