Speaking broadly, pure mathematics has consistently been appreciative of its connection to the humanities. Elegance, intuition, creativity versus computation, philosophical underpinnings, the sociology of collaboration—this is how they talk to each other. The scorn is mostly coming from elsewhere.

White privilege. The concept is simple. It doesn't mean that white people have easy lives. It means that the barriers present for non-white people are not applicable for us. It means that after every negative interaction we aren't left wondering if it's due to the color of our skin.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

This makes the Jan 23, 2026 action the largest strike in Minnesota History, and depending on which number you use, 3rd in American History after the massive national strikes of 1919, or the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. I note with extreme interest that mainstream media didn't report these facts.

Six tribes have issued a statement telling the feds to stop detaining their members. The gov’t “carries a duty to Tribal Nations. This duty includes safeguarding constitutional rights, ensuring due process, and preventing unlawful detention or harm to tribal citizens, regardless of where they live”

JOINT STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JOINT STATEMENT FROM THE DAKOTA/LAKOTA NATIONS OF SISSETON WAHPETON OYATE, SPIRIT LAKE, CROW CREEK, STANDING ROCK, YANKTON SIOUX, AND ROSEBUD SIOUX
FORT TOTTEN, N.D.; FORT YATES, N.D.; SISSETON, S.D.; CROW CREEK, S.D.; WAGNER, S.D.; and ROSEBUD, S.D. - January 25, 2026 — The Crow Creek Sioux Tribe, Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, Spirit Lake Nation, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and Yankton Sioux Tribe stand together in deep sorrow, empathy, and solidarity with the families and communities affected by recent federal enforcement actions in Minnesota.
We extend our deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones as a result of recent enforcement activity, including the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old individual during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026. We also hold the people of Minneapolis in our thoughts during this time of grief, uncertainty, and heightened tension. No family or community should have to endure fear, violence, displacement, or separation in the places where they live and work. Our hearts are with all those whose lives have been disrupted or torn apart by these events.
Recent federal law-enforcement actions, including the use of lethal force and the taking into custody of an enrolled member of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Minnesota, have caused alarm among Indigenous communities across the Twin Cities metropolitan area. At this time, information regarding potential charges remains unclear. These incidents have intensified longstanding concerns about the safety, treatment, and rights of Native people living in urban areas far from their home reservations.
The Minneapolis St. Paul metropolitan area is home to one of the largest urban Native populations in the United States. More than 35,000 American Indian and Alaska Native people live throughout the Twin Cities metro area, representing dozens of Tribal Nati…

harm, yet continue to seek dignity, justice, and safety wherever they reside. From these histories comes a responsibility to seek better and mutual relations, grounded in respect, restraint, and humanity.
Our teachings remind us that we are not separate from one another. As Indigenous peoples, we hold the belief that we are all related — Mitákuye Oyás'in. This principle calls for accountability without dehumanization, for justice without violence, and for policies rooted in dignity rather than fear.
Indigenous peoples are American citizens under the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and the federal government carries a continuing fiduciary duty to Tribal Nations as a political class of people. This duty includes safeguarding constitutional rights, ensuring due process, and preventing unlawful detention or harm to tribal citizens — regardless of where they live.
While we recognize the strong emotions these events have stirred, we urge our citizens to prioritize safety. We are asking our tribal members not to engage in protest activity that could place individuals at risk of harm, particularly in situations involving armed enforcement. There are meaningful ways to support families and neighbors -through community care, education, advocacy, and mutual aid — that do not expose our people to dangerous confrontations.
Our Nations remain committed to ensuring that enrolled citizens living away from their home reservations have access to proper tribal identification. We will continue efforts to expand access to tribal IDs and related documentation, recognizing that identification affirms citizenship, protects rights, and supports safety wherever our people reside.
As Dakota and Lakota leaders, we stand united in our responsibility to protect our citizens, honor our ancestors, and safeguard future generations. We will continue to speak with clarity, compassion, and strength on behalf of our people.
We stand together.
We remember.
We endure.
