In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

one year and everyone is so sick of your boy that Virginia is starting to look like Massachusetts and a democratic socialist won a million votes in NYC, get fucked

The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer. This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.

Do the powers that be at NPR hope that giving the Heritage Foundation so much air time to blather about how they think the ICE raids are going swimmingly will result in getting their funding back?

I was curious how these ideas are "taught," so I visited the Creation Museum in 2016. They have created a perfect blend of cherry-picked science with only the most convenient theology; a toxic soup of pseudoscience. We on science's side all need to understand that this is what we're up against.

My letter to my governor today. Y'all better let him know how you feel about him, too, because either he really does hold anti-trans views, or he thinks playing with the Charlie Kirks of the world will win him MAGA votes, and I'm not OK with either of those being true.

I have a theory about why, beyond just being people, much of US scientific leadership was caught so flat-footed and is displaying Neville Chamberlain-tier wet kleenex resolve in defense of our institutions and values.

RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks just now: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." It is actually very unusual. This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

TLDR: The killing of the UHC CEO has the hallmarks of a class war, and class wars are more dangerous for all of us than political strife. Murder, America, and the French Revolution www.thebulwark.com/p/murder-ame...

My daughter is a trans woman. Here is a comprehensive list of people and institutions she's harming by identifying as a different gender than she did as a child:

ABC, CBS, and NBC aired a combined 1 hour and 14 minutes of coverage across 50 segments that discussed the record Northeast flooding. Only *one* of those segments mentioned climate change.
