In Politika, Aristotle says you can recognize a tyrannical regime in the fact that it intrudes into every aspect of the lives of its subjects while enshrouding the tyrant and his enablers in complete secrecy. What we see with ICE is the demonstration of that principle. bsky.app/profile/davi...
the extreme irony and hypocrisy of a govt masking its secret police while building and enforcing a database recognizing every one of our faces and personal data. 🤬

A new study suggests that the “softening” of cancer cells that occurs in some malignant tumors may help the cells to evade antitumor immune defenses.

T cell polarization and NFAT activation are stiffness dependent and differentially regulated by the channels PIEZO1 and ORAI1
Target stiffness influences T cell polarization and gene expression through distinct Ca2+ channels.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

It's #caturday and I miss our old man, Smiglet. We had to say goodbye on NYE, after two difficult weeks of kitty home hospice. He died peacefully, at 17ish, of heart failure due to congenital cardiomyopathy. He was the best old judgy cat man & the most distinguished personality. I miss him dearly 💔
