A mimmoth of very little brain. ♠️🩶🤍💜
Seems to be currently out of sorts (or perhaps slow), probably on account of the gov't shutdown. But you can get started!
Long Covid sky, do you know about CURE ID cure.ncats.io an FDA survey on meds you’ve trialed?

Results could help show NIH there’s more to study than melatonin & computer games! But CURE ID needs 1000 reports to start crunching data! Will you take the survey—& ask a pal to join too?

Here’s how! 🧵

So much tear gas & flash grenades tonight at ICE in Portland. US Gestapo came out, pushed people back & held a line as other feds shot down tear gas canisters from the roof. People were dancing before this as an impromptu rave broke out

So many mouths to feed on the farm
And Sonny was the second to the last one born
His Mamma ran away and his daddy beat him bad
And he grew up wild, good love he never had
He had a left like Henry's hammer
A right like Betty Bamalam
Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread
And all them sluggers
these boys have got it down/oughta be a one of these in every town/these boys have got the touch/clean as a whistle and it don't cost much/wham bam, don't take long/shakes, fries, patty and gone/and whatabout that friendly name?/heck every little thing oughta stay the same

A college buddy of mine learned about Spotswood Rice in an Emancipations course we took with Justin Behrend as sophomores.

Said buddy wrote and, years later, recorded a folk song about him.
A difficult and extraordinary read:
“Your Miss Kaitty said that I tried to steal you But I'll let her know that god never intended for man to steal his own flesh and blood.” - Rice in a separate letter to his enslaved daughters

First, well, yeah that is always what the GOP proposes. We'll need to raise revenue by a third or cut benefits by a quarter to provide the trust fund with another 75 years of "solvency." Not surprising the GOP wants poor people to bear the cost. But I want to dig in a bit here.

I think it might actually be helpful to hold tear gas familiarization classes like they do in the military.

This dude is a Marine. They season their food with the stuff.

But yeah, teach people how to power through it.

Seeing a lot of celebration of this as a win.

But at NIH we have seen this exact play before.

It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture.
