Another extraordinary curtailment of freedom of speech in the US
Apparently, you can't say or write "cancer moonshot" or "peanut allergy" without permission if you work at the National Cancer Institute. 🤷♂️ www.propublica.org/article/nati...

Russia literally bombed a nuclear facility on European soil. Last night.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

What a headline this is
“Trump scoffed that U.S.A.I.D. was ‘run by radical lunatics,’” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. “Is it radical lunacy to try to save children’s lives? To promote literacy for girls? To fight blindness?”
