Dear E.M., I believe you. This verdict does not negate the truth. Thank you for your bravery in and out of the courtroom. Those of us who have been there, are with you. You are not “exaggerating”.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape?

Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

This bears repeating.

The whole, ‘good for your immune system’ rhetoric is nonsense generally, but it’s PARTICULARLY dangerous when it comes to measles 👇

Screenshot:

Recovering from measles does not protect against cancer or any other disease besides measles. In fact, a measles infection has the ability to wipe out immune responses built up against other infections— a phenomenon called immune amnesia, driven by the destruction of memory T- and B-cells. This leaves people who recover from the measles virus more vulnerable to all other germs.

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.

Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.

Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

CDC has never had authority to give or enforce mandates. CDC is essentially an advisor. States implement that advice to varying degrees. When republicans say they want to reform CDC's authority they mean remove the ability to make recommendations. This is exactly what Project 2025 calls for.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Steven Levitsky, a Harvard political scientist and coauthor of “How Democracies Die," compared Trump's first two months to actions in other countries that moved toward autocracy in this century and concluded it's "worse" here than any other place. “Honest to god, I’ve never seen anything like it."

Indigenous peoples have been confronted with Trump-like leaders for centuries.

They typically come in the form of Canadian government leaders and officials and, before that, the British Crown. This story has been told many times. #Opinion

Indigenous peoples have been confronted with Trump-like leaders for centuries. Here’s what we’ve learned

While threats to Canada’s sovereignty might understandably feel new and different for the majority, for Indigenous peoples, they are as old as Canada itself.

With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?
