Sgt. Brian McGinnis is out of jail after he was arrested for expressing his opposition to the US war on Iran in Congress. Capitol Police officers and Senator Sheehy broke his arm as they removed and arrested him.

My favourite ever TV show

Just casually wondering why regular CEOs of small & medium sized businesses aren't rising up like #notallceos , "them gazillionaires are giving us a bad name", etc.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

OK, I'll weigh in. The Green Party's weak spot is whether they can find 650 Hannah Spencers. But .. imagine if they did, how amazingly beautiful that would be.

Looks like we're moving to Claude then

Imagine a Parliament made up of Hannah Spencers, wouldn't that be amazing?

@fractapp.bsky.social I can't find much about you so rather reticent to load. Got .. anything that says what you do??

Best way to handle this is probably to prejudge students so the ones you favour probably did write that brilliant essay out of the blue, whereas the students you don't like are definitely cheating (actually working twice as hard and did write it)

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Don't know, here in the UK, if it's Dr's job to read research. Feels like they are on rails, following a big flowchart. Above that, the people who write the flowchart, they need to read the research. (Partner has ME 20 yrs, I went to an ME conference once.)

The Anthropic guy seems, I've only just seen, to possess some redeeming qualities

still unclear to me how the species made it this far

How China is reporting on the Epstein Files.

Saving this thread :-)

It does not matter how small the trans population is. It does not matter how small any minority population is. When we allow them to be targeted, attacked, eradicated - it’s not a temporary state. If you don’t see that as a loss, that says more about your ethics than your political savvy. (/5)

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

Just read a post about how normal kids are on it and we're going to win. Been here before. Remember peace & love hippies? Don't rely on the kids to save us. It needs all of us, especially those with something to lose.

Well what the Tories seemed to do was try everything and then whittle it down to one thing. Antisemitism. Brexit. Sleaze worked for Labour. Whether they watch stats or use focus groups or whatever, but one single message seems to be the way imho (marketer, not politician (but interested))

2% ish. .5% in whole of UK. London is a rough match for your 2%

Brit here wanting to understand, how big is your county?

A four panel comic, from left to right: 1960s LIFE IS BASED ON DNA, WHICH USES RNA TO MAKE PROTEINS THAT DO STUFF. 1980s ALSO, THE RNA DOES SOME STUFF ITSELF, WHICH IS WEIRD. 2000s THERE ARE 50 MANY KINDS OF RNA. IT'S DOING SO MUCH STUFF! 2020s LIFE IS A SEETHING MASS OF RNA THAT SOMETIMES USES DNA TO TAKE NOTES. WHAT DO THE PROTEINS DO? ERRANDS FOR RNA.

It’s an RNA world. RNA is posited to be the first genetic material, arising 4 billion years ago. It can store information and act as an enzyme. Eventually, it duplicated its information into a more stable form, DNA.

Epstein-Barr is a big deal in the ME community also. I don't know what's proven but afaik ME often starts with a virus and ebv was cited a lot in the early days of investigation.

the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth.
