This is not acceptable. A scientist cannot make a public claim of discovering something that s/he knows had already been discovered by others. I know it is obvious but that is exactly what happened in this press release of @theDESurvey @fermilab
@Fermilab +..
The lead author, Yuanyuan Zhang, claims that "we discovered that intracluster light is a pretty good radial tracer of dark matter", which sounds awfully similar to...+
@Fermilab +... this 2019 paper by Mireia Montes and Ignacio Trujillo (MT19) "Intracluster light: a luminous tracer for dark matter in clusters of galaxies"
@Fermilab +...Could it be that the authors were not aware of the MT19 work? No. I mean, it's not like MT19 was an obscure paper published in a small journal 30 years ago. It was published last year in one of the top astronomy journals... AND... +
@Fermilab +...AND... NASA made a press release about it:

Yet another thread about white supremacist terrorism--which again, is very clearly what we are dealing with. Not just according to me, but law enforcement. So I am going to do a little explainer about what these people want and where their skinheads are at right now.
To start with, I'm not talking about the “armed protesters.” There is overlap but not all goobers with giant guns are like this. The most violent white supremacist terrorists, though, are a lot like AQ or ISIS. Again, some actively nurture that connection.
We know they have been actively training and recruiting current/former military and law enforcement for years. Many attempted serious terror attacks that thankfully were prevented, like this one by a Coast Guard officer who made a kill list of Democrats.
What really makes these groups similar to ISIS is that they also want to trigger the end of the world as we know it. People like that are very dangerous, and they are currently emboldened because they believe the U.S. government is on their side--for now.
They are also shitting themselves at the thought of a progressive presidential administration committed to addressing racial/gender inequality and gun control, among other markers of an evolved civilization. These are people who want to take us backward, to a darker time.

The Base are also big AQ fans. If that confuses you, it shouldn't. At its core, this is not about ideology. Terror is terror. https://t.co/OWY4cBF9JV pic.twitter.com/R6iyoHYdkm

Let’s talk about how you can alert law enforcement to crimes, and what constitutes something you might consider reporting, and what likely doesn’t. Im not saying anyone SHOULD do this. But everyone should know how to do it, and clearly people don’t.
First and foremost, do not tag law enforcement agencies on Twitter as a way of reporting ANYTHING. It doesn’t work. Also, tweeting or RT-ing a screenshot is not an effective means of alerting law enforcement.
If you want to tip federal law enforcement, you have a couple of options. If it relates to the J6 Capitol events, there’s a website where you can upload photos and video. (There’s also a toll free number if your uploads exceed the limit.)

If you have a tip that’s not related to the J6 events, you have other options. You can call the FBI, and give your tip by phone, with or without your name.

Or you can use the FBI website to submit it online (again, with or without your name). Here’s the landing page. https://t.co/X7Tl2I6sbm
