Someone literally must have sat my dad down for some kind of intervention.

He called & asked me to explain transgenic organisms. After I explained it all, & he asked followup questions about the lies Trump told him on the TV, he said he now felt ready to *explain this to his peers*.

NEW: We spoke to the relatives of three immigrants transferred to Guantanamo, who said they’ve been left in the dark about their loved ones.

“To me it’s the desperation, the frustration that I know nothing of him. It’s a terrible anguish. I don’t sleep.”
Trump Is Unfairly Detaining Immigrants at Guantanamo as Terrorists, Families Say
ProPublica and The Texas Tribune have identified nearly a dozen immigrants who have been flown to Guantanamo Bay. Government officials have refused to release the names of detainees or provide details about the crimes that landed them in detention.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services.

The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

There are two major types of owls: Barn owls, Tytonidae, with their heart-shaped faces like the one on top, and true owls, Strigidae, on the bottom of the image.

These differences are more than superficial; They are different in vocalization, behaviour, and habitat preferences.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

I’ve gotten death threats from extremists for writing about extremists. Especially for mocking them.

Maybe you shouldn’t take an oath to support and defend the constitution if you’re going to stop as soon an incel from Fort Wayne sends a misspelled email.
Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
