This Juneteenth I feel compelled to reflect on the realities of our troubling past, to be uplifted by remembering the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and to recommit to centering equity and intersectionality in my work and life. Happy Juneteenth everyone.
Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!
“We found this individual possessed a second, far more lethal string of words locked and loaded, and I’m terrified to think how the situation would have shaken out if he’d been able to say even one of them aloud,” said Kristi Noem theonion.com/kristi-...

Rebecca González runs one of ICE's local domestic intelligence offices. She told NPR how her agents are tracking down immigrants in Puerto Rico to deliver on President Trump's mass deportation promise.
“This is part of the strategy they have been employing, which is a flood-the-zone strategy with a barrage of attacks and a sense of uncertainty about what’s coming next or how one could even respond,” Lynn Pasquerella said. www.cnn.com/2025/06/03/u... via @cnn.com
In South Park, San Diego, US citizens stigmergically rose up against Trump’s Gestapo. The revolt erupted midday when ICE began rounding up people at a restaurant; patrons and passersby alike dropped everything to confront the regime storm troopers. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

Science serves society best when its integrity is protected from political influence. The termination of NSF-funded research projects stems from fundamental misunderstandings. Many of these initiatives were grappling with some of the most vexing challenges we face as a nation, including health disparities. Historically marginalized groups—especially people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and immigrants—exist, and experience some medical and psychological conditions at disproportionately high rates. To engage in science that serves everyone, we must ensure our research reflects the realities, needs, and perspectives of all populations. Scientific progress depends on an accurate understanding of people. Health conditions, illnesses and treatments can affect populations in distinct ways depending on factors like race, gender and sexual orientation. Inclusive studies are essential to understanding these differences and developing evidence-based solutions. The implications of these actions are deeply concerning not only for the U.S. but for the global scientific community. By halting research of this type, we risk denying individuals high-quality care based solely on their heritage or background. As a result, our ability to understand and deliver effective services to all Americans, particularly across lines of gender, race, and ethnicity, will be significantly diminished as will America’s standing as a leader in scientific research.
