Prediction: States that locked down will have fewer deaths than neighboring states that didn't
Data: CDC all-cause mortality data
Result: States that locked down had *more* deaths per capita than those that didn't

Yes! Quadry is working on impact-driven atmospheric loss in exoplanet N body simulations. He is also the person all heads turn to in UF’s arXiv discussion, when an exoplanet expert is needed to weigh in.

So I had to comment. To bear witness to the brazenness w which white supremacy wafts through the halls of virtually every predominantly white institution in the country. I had to address the utter predictability and unoriginality, yet violent things they said. #BlackintheIvory

The media *conveniently* fails to mention that 60,000 people took to the street of Seattle in peaceful protest on Friday.
Corporate media wants to keep us divided. Don't let them.

I am genuinely amazed by a toddler’s ability/desire/capacity to listen to a single song on repeat hundreds of times in a row for weeks on end. Hakuna Matata is playing in the background of my dreams these days.

As police violence continue, the revolt against racism is pushing into all corners of society. Marches are spreading worldwide. Atlanta is on fire again. Confederate statues are coming down. Cases of prior killings are being reopened. BT covers it all with on-the-ground reporting
Damn, I sure got good peoples in my life. My community came thru for me. Thanks y’all! (Y’all know who you are)

Just wanted to pop on here and say that change IS coming whether you like it or not. So get TF on board or get left TF behind.
TFW your google search for the wisdom of a Black radical speaking to the problems of 2020 turns up the perfect quote...from 2014 #BlackLivesMatter #abolitionnow

Friends, remember the workers, the workers dying & the workers working in the meat processing & poultry plants & all the millions that have lost health coverage. We must not let the rulers control the narrative. The people are starting to demand fundamental structural change.

WEEK EIGHT: This week we look at the article 'Warm planets orbiting cool stars' by @astrojohnjohn on the search for Earth-like exoplanets around red dwarf stars. Professor Johnson has emailed to wish the students all the best this week! bit.ly/PhysJournalClub
Fuck you @NYGov. We are winning but not because we forced status quo defenders like you to make small changes to a racist institution. I wouldn’t call for reform of slavery, Jim Crow, or prison labor, and I won’t call for reforming the NYPD. Abolition is what victory looks like
.@NYGovCuomo suggests protesters pack it up, in light of new reforms: "People are still out protesting. You don’t need to protest. You won. You won. You accomplished your goal. Society says, you’re right. The police need systemic reform.”

El Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara cumple hoy 92 años. Digo cumple, porque está vivo en las luchas, batallas y victorias de todos los pueblos del mundo en sus procesos de liberación. Su ejemplo es indeleble. Su espíritu, indetenible. ¡Hasta la victoria, siempre! ¡Venceremos!
