In Addison, Illinois an immigration agent using an American flag as a mask smashes a woman’s car window while her family sits in the vehicle. Video from social media.

All this talk of a ballroom to service the super wealthy while the rest of us continue to pay more for healthcare and basic essentials makes me think of this powerful political cartoon from 1906, the artist is William Balfour Ker.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on today’s ruling: “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.” RETWEET if you stand with Justice Sotomayor!

#OnThisDay in 1947, Irene Morgan, a 27-year-old Black mother of two, was arrested for refusing to move to the back of an interstate bus in Virginia for a white couple. When a deputy handed her the warrant for her arrest, Morgan tore up the document and tossed it out the window. Then the deputy grabbed her by the arm. “He touched me,” she told the Washington Post. “That’s when I kicked him in a very bad place. He hobbled off, and another one came on. He was trying to put his hands on me to get me off. I was going to bite him, but he was dirty, so I clawed him instead. I ripped his shirt. We were both pulling at each other. He said he’d use his nightstick. I said, ‘We’ll whip each other.’” Authorities jailed her. “I was just minding my own business,” she said. “I’d paid my money. I was sitting where I was supposed to sit. And I wasn’t going to take it.” Her legal appeal, after her conviction for breaking a Virginia segregation law, resulted in a 7-1 U.S. Supreme Court decision barring segregation in interstate commerce. Her act inspired the 1947 Journey of Reconciliation to test the enforcement of the court’s ruling. While on the journey, the integrated group of bus riders sang, “Get on the bus, sit anyplace, ‘cause Irene Morgan won her case.” In 2000, Gloucester County, where she boarded the bus, honored her on its 350th anniversary. Before she died in 2007, President Bill Clinton awarded her the Presidential Citizens Medal, and the NAACP gave her the Oliver W. Hill Freedom Fighter Award. Her headstone reads, “The Nation’s First Freedom Rider.” mississippitoday.org/2025/07/16/on-…

Let’s be clear: the Department of Education exists because states wouldn’t fund poor schools, wouldn’t protect kids with disabilities, wouldn’t follow civil rights law, especially in the South. Anyone calling to abolish it is calling to turn back the clock—and we can’t let that happen.

In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term. It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism. propublica.org/article/propub…

I am planning to recruit a PhD student to begin in my lab at SUNY ESF for the Fall 2025 semester to work on projects in the area of environmental microbiology. I am unable to respond to comments/DMs here. Please email with any inquiries. Please read carefully before emailing.

More info at esf.edu/faculty/dibble. Students would join the Chem Dept at the Environmental Science campus of SUNY. To learn about the program, see shorturl.at/8a0RB. To learn about admissions, see shorturl.at/4f2SQ. 2/2

I’m looking for new PhD students wanting to use computational chemistry to study atmospheric reactions. Topics: Hg redox reactions at surfaces. AI to study how hydrogen bonds (R=O--HO• and RO(H)--HO) affects kinetics of H-abstraction. tsdibble@esf.edu 1/2
