Citizenship guarantees protections, even under the most authoritarian regimes. In "Black Death" Timothy Snyder talks about how in occupied Europe, Jewish people who were stripped of their citizenship were killed at much higher rates than those who retained citizenship in their countries. 1/2

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward. I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

It’s so important to understand WHY the new Senate bill has such drastic provisions to kill renewable energy Fossil fuel industry lobbyists and Big Oil-funded activists have been ALL OVER the GOP in recent weeks, telling them that clean energy jobs are “fentanyl jobs” and “a cancer”
heated.world
The Senate is about to destroy clean energy to give tax cuts to billionaires
The bill could pass within the next 24 hours.

Matching mindfulness methods to anxiety symptoms may boost mental well-being, study finds
If you're anxious about work, finances, the state of the world, or anything else, you might try a moment of mindfulness. Paying close attention to the present moment without judgment—the basic idea behind all mindfulness techniques—can help calm anxiety and improve focus, said Resh Gupta, a postdoctoral research associate with the Mindfulness Science and Practice research cluster.

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

Carl Sagan said when he was at university in the 1950s, “it was considered unthinkable for an aspiring physicist not to know Plato, Aristotle, Bach, Shakespeare,” and so many of our problems with today’s tech leaders are downstream of their lack of engagement with the humanities.
