Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

This analysis is quite compelling. Renee Good did nothing other than trying to get away from a potential assault from masked agents.

Stop the gaslighting.

This was not self-defense. This was an intentional and completely unjustified shooting that led to the death of a human being.
Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

How exactly do painkillers work? 🧪 Protoxin-II, a newly researched painkiller from UC Davis, blocks pain by binding to sodium channels to close them. Where as morphine acts on receptors that lower the neuron's excitability, so sodium channels open less often. See it in VR here:

While the administration has said it is cutting “woke programs” that “poison the minds of Americans", it actually funded fewer grants in every area of science and medicine.

“They brought everything to a stop,” said Sarah Kobrin, a branch chief at the N.I.H.’s National Cancer Institute
The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine (Gift Article)
A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Trump and RFK Jr. are running full speed ahead with the MAGA and MAHA agenda, and only a Congress without accomplices can stop them.

In 2026, we're taking BACK the House for science. By joining the Science Fight Club, you join the frontlines of the fight. Are you in?

Updated update

I downloaded the data from NIH Reporter too soon. The large end of the month update had not occurred.

Here are the results as of this morning.

NIH grants management staff have been busy making awards.

I don’t know why this incenses me as much as it does, but it does:

we very likely have a thousand plus Mozarts *right now*. But they make non-Western art in economically destitute conditions so they have to do other work to pay bills; if you cared, UBI’d be more important to you than going to space
Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’
“I think in a lot of these endeavors we're very like-minded,” Bezos said of himself and Musk regarding getting humans into space.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.
