The group stage in sporting competitions are the best part. In the knock-out rounds, results often award teams that don't play any better than their opponents. In the group stage, on the other hand, everyone gets to play and, on paper at least, anything is possible.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Sunday it is investigating a group of protesters in Minnesota who disrupted services at a church where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently serves as a pastor.
A livestreamed video posted on the Facebook page of Black Lives Matter Minnesota -- one of the protest’s organizers -- shows a group of people interrupting services at the Cities Church in St. Paul by chanting
“ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good.”

Patrick Bambach of the @… successfully defended his thesis “Calibration of the Jovian Electron and Ion Analyzer (JEI) for the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE)” at the University of Stuttgart.
An awful lot of Mastodon rhetoric sounds at first glance like persuasive rhetoric, but if you think about it, you realize there's no argument being presented, only affiliation. "I'm one of the good ones, believing the right things.”
... and it's real hard to tell a genuinely radical version of that from someone dealing propaganda to fragment a group. "Real members of [group] believe [extreme version of thing]" is actually a tactic to _break_ that group.

Apparently (I wasn’t part of the group, got the report when I arrived on the scene) there was a caravan of multiple vehicles following ICE. Several ICE vehicles cut dangerously into the caravan and forced the observers’ cars to stop. That’s when they smashed the person’s window and took them.
It sounds like multiple people got video. I hope you don’t see it, for the safety of those whose faces might appear in the video. But I hope you believe me anyway. This is all really happening.

A few colleagues at universities across the country recently launched a group for discussing teaching - "patisseries et pédagogie," they're calling it - and invited me along for the ride. We had our second meeting today. It was great. Unsurprisingly, many of us have the same concerns. Equally unsurprisingly, some have come up with interesting approaches for addressing them. I wish we'd done this years ago.
