Galvin says he’s running for a 9th term to “protect voters from Trump.” Cool.
So who’s protecting voters from Galvin?
Cops in polling places isn’t “election security”—it’s voter intimidation. And somehow Democrats know this everywhere… except Blue Massachusetts and Boston.

Don Steward algebra task with all answers 9n
Yesterday I spoke about patterns in Don Steward's answers at #mathsconf39. Coincidentally I was revising with my Y7 daughter this morning (she has a test tomorrow) & gave her two of Don's algebra pyramids. She was delighted to get the same answer twice so I checked the rest... :)
Need more resources on teaching math as literacy instruction.
The struggle for many of my college folks at the moment is actually reading the (symbolic) math fluently, a fascinating connection to the literacy crisis! (Separate from issues with reading instructions/context.)

Solid @nytimes.com piece on Nantucket's affordability crisis. Teachers, cops, firefighters living in cars on the beach. Wish they'd included seasonal workers keeping island running—basically modern indentured servants. Still beats anything Boston's local press would touch. #ImJustSaying🤦🏾♂️🇺🇸 #BOSpoli

Things are escalating in downtown Los Angeles
SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.
He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."
My latest:
"The GOP's Decades-Long Plan to Silence Critics and Punish Dissent Is Almost Complete."
With the Trump Administration's crack down on Palestinian activists and intimidation of the press, the GOP is closer to achieving its authoritarian goals.

Noooooooooo
This is the new McCarthyism. You may lose your livelihood, your liberty, even your citizenship if you speak out in support of the Palestinian people.

@jaycatt7 tweeted: “My roommate described Republicans as the mass shooter and Democrats as Uvalde cops, and I can't get it out of my head”
I hate how accurate this feels right now🫣
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

“A group of researchers and students at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is gathered today for a data preservation marathon, scraping and downloading data related to health equity from U.S. government agency websites before they disappear.”
Omitted are the biggest ticket items—CORPORATE CRIME (defrauding Medicare), CORPORATE WELFARE (subsidies, tax escapes, giveaways, bailouts) and the bloated, wasteful military/industrial complex’s budget. Stay alert. Profit/power hungry Musk is out to get the people and enrich big corporations. -R
Did you notice that the Trump/Musk spending cuts go after peoples' programs like Medicaid, social safety nets, and budgets for enforcing laws against corporate crime?

Gotthold Eisenstein
Eisenstein showed that the Taylor expansions of algebraic functions have a special property: only finitely many primes appear in the denominators of their coefficients. We conjecture that this property characterizes algebraic solutions to algebraic differential equations. 12/n
Gotthold Eisenstein
I am hoping some of my followers/friends in or near Berlin can help with a bit of historical research. I'm interested in finding the grave of the mathematician Gotthold Eisenstein, or at least information on it.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Great work and has been right since way before the current dark era.
