Yeah, anyone who is reading, message people you know at these organizations. ADSA, AWIS, AWM, SIAM, AMS. All science orgs should be looking at this partner list. Remember letter B? Give folks the courtesy to remove their name first or better work together to get Heritage Foundation cronies out!

WTF is happening here? AMS is listed as a partner... do they know what is happening? I say this in the most gracious way because I was part of a math working group for this early pilot work, and it was the opposite of everything Heritage Foundation stands for & @cdelawalla.bsky.social has receipts!

When people are like "WhY WoUlD TrUmP ShUt DoWn DaTa CoLleCtIoN?" it's because the data doesn't lie like the Trump administration. When people in power compromise independent data collection, THE FIRST QUESTION should be "WHAT THE HELL DO THEY WANT US TO NOT SEE???"

Yet more context to evaluate this week's announcement of NSF investment in "foundational" research. It is hard to build a foundation when the administration is actively undermining NSF capacity to issue awards and support use-driven basic research at institutions nationwide.

Also, take some time to walk through the library. It is open to the public. Then hop on Newbury street for some brownstone architecture and shops. The original Newbury comics is up there my Mass Ave. #Mathfest

"A source cited by Fox News told the outlet that agents have been instructed only to pursue traffic stops targeting individuals with serious or violent criminal histories." This is the same line they've been trying to feed us all along. This is no policy win by Collins or anyone else. #AbolishICE

We are told "ICE agents have been told to end most vehicle stops nationwide after fatal shootings in Texas and Maine." Collins takes credit. BUT it's bull. Just like when they said they stopped "Catch of the Day" in Maine. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news... (AP Photo/Eric Thayer, File)

Lots of good points in this piece. In addition, the scolds saying people shouldn't advocate against data centers are missing an important point -- there is widespread, bi-partisan anger about the way data center developers are doing these projects, and it makes organizing easy. 1/

This is a good reminder. A lot of people have been looking at the content and not as much at the big picture. @timnitgebru.blacksky.app reminds us that we need to beware the ethics washing and understand the histories and motivations of these organizations.

Yeah, Talrico appeals to a different sort than Platner, but they are not dual opposites. Platner knows how to talk to the left behind blue collar real America and Talrico the Latino Catholic Christians that forgot Christian values. These are jot opposites.

My final piece on Graham Platner and the US Senate race. At almost 5000 words, it's long but based on several meetings with Platner and others. I'm not arguing with people online, so there are no comments. Life is too short to be stressed. open.substack.com/pub/shaystew...

Platner is the presumptive candidate, but is he the right person? My Final Thoughts
NOTE: Almost certainly this piece will travel beyond my usual readership, so I thought it wise to add a quick preface.

Wow... tech has tried to close libraries for ages, yet they stick as community centers. To see such an extraordinary shift, likely in response to mounting budget pressures and the rise of LLMs, is really saddening.

I really related to a lot of this. I don't know @grahamformaine.bsky.social myself. My family in Sullivan knows him, though, and is excited to support him. I have been really excited but have been trying to check my bias. 🤣 But I resonate a lot with what @blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social says here.

We need more conversations, not less. More public engagement, rather than hiding and hoping that the threat will dissipate. More frank discussions of the ongoing harm and the missed opportunities to transform our world for the better. And we cannot wait until 2029.
The message of the talk: "It is possible to confront and contest attacks on science and build a better future in ways that are grounded in evidence, persuasive & bridge the ideological divide... & we cannot wait until 2029."

Behind every data point captured in this survey is a person whose life, career, and well-being were impacted by the illegal probationary employee firings in February 2025.
Image of a forest with sun shining through trees in the background. Resistance Rangers on the air logo on the left top corner, and 27 UNIHTED logo on the right hand side corner. Text reads, “One year later, former probationary employees reflect on what America lost from the illegal firings in a new RRTOA episode. 
Image of a flower and a green banner with text that reads, “what happened?” On top of the image is text that says, “On February 14, 2025, thousands of probationary federal employees were terminated or placed on indefinite leave. Note that, “probationary” does not mean disciplinary in the federal government, a probationary period is required any time an employee begins a new position. Federal court later ruled the firings unlawful...But impacts on these employees and public services are lasting.”

When Johnny DuPree won his Mississippi Senate seat in November 2025, it marked the first time Hattiesburg residents would have a Black senator representing them in Jackson, even though 51% of the city’s population is Black. The U.S. Supreme Court has reversed the ruling that made that possible.

AI nonsense aside, the Gowers post links to an article titled "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Problems in Additive Number Theory". I looked at it, curious what the author had to say about equity and inclusion in number theory, or in math more broadly. Spoiler: Nothing
