In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair." n.pr/3N9Foa8
The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already.
Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
The trove of files released by the Department of Justice, illuminates Epstein’s deep interest and entrenchment in the scientific community.
But the files also underscore how he used his power and money in ways that kept women out of places where they might succeed. https://bit.ly/4qWgPLz
Assemblyman Micah Lasher, a Democrat who represents Upper Manhattan, said that university officials told him that the agents arrived at the building in plain clothes and presented themselves as Police Department officers. University officials told Mr. Lasher, he said, that the officers were let in by a building superintendent after they showed him a poster or flyer for a missing child. A roommate opened the door to Ms. Aghayeva's apartment. Once the superintendent realized that the visit was not about a missing person, he called campus security, which then called the Police Department, Mr. Lasher said. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, the Manhattan borough president, said in a social media post that the immigration police had shown a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5-year-old girl, and that they had fake badges. "They purposefully deceived campus housing/security to gain entry to the student's apartment," he said. "The level of civil rights violations that took place is staggering."
Plainclothes DHS agents reportedly showed a fake missing-persons bulletin, for a 5-year-old girl, to dupe a Columbia University security guard -- and snatch an undergrad student from her room.
Before dawn
Neuroscience undergrad abducted at 6:30am. No judicial warrant. ICE lied to gain entry into the residence.
State-sanctioned kidnapping. And I’m supposed to somehow teach class this afternoon?
Pre-blizzard lab bonding this past weekend!
Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”
They pulled a Target.
U2 dropping a new surprise 6-song album explicitly addressing the hellscape of our nation.
Wow. Stunning stuff.
The world is with us.

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”
UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:
“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”
- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.
Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

“There are such things in the world as human rights. Among these, is the right to migration; the right which belongs to no particular race, but belongs to all alike. It is the right you assert by staying here, and your fathers asserted by coming here.”

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
For a panel this morning at the #aaasmtg, the other speakers and I will share ideas and examples for improving trust in science. Here are a few I'll mention if I get a chance (we have a LOT to talk about). I'd love to hear yours. (1/7)
"Revokes scientific finding"
Do you work or study in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, computer science, artificial intelligence, or philosophy?
What does the term 'representation' mean to you?
We invite you to participate in a brief survey on key conceptual questions across fields.

New research on postpartum depression as a mechanism of the motherhood penalty (i.e., mothers' reduced lifetime earnings) in Denmark
"The penalties are concentrated among less educated mothers and those in less family-friendly jobs."
(Application to the US is left as an exercise for the reader)
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
Benito said "God Bless America," and then proceeded to name every country in South and North America.

Imagination in bonobos!

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.
💯- Abolish ICE
ICE has detained at least 3,800 kids under the second Trump administration — more than 500 of whom were under 5 years old.
Children shouldn't be locked up by our government.
Every lie told by this regime, no matter how brazen, shocking, or dehumanizing, makes perfect sense when I think about their claim that immigrants were eating pets in Ohio. It's not about evidence or credibility, it's about pushing narratives to facilitate ethnic cleansing.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
A lot of Second Amendment advocates about to explain that carrying a gun is an executable offense in America if you oppose the Trump administration. Expect deafening silence from the NRA.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
