ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Université catholique de Louvain and Colorado State University scientists found that mutating two conserved residues in viral RNA polymerase stops replication in both TMEV and SARS-CoV-2.

These sites could be targets for broad-spectrum antivirals.

Conserved phosphorylatable residues in motif G of positive-stranded virus RdRps regulate polymerase activity and suggest targets for drug design.
RNA viruses rely on an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to replicate their genome. RdRps share a conserved core replicase structure described as a right hand within which RNA replication occurs. RN...

Hey @SecDuffy — nobody cares what @realDonaldTrump
wears on a plane. What people do care about is the fact that U.S. air travel is a disaster. Maybe focus on that instead of posting costume ideas, you fucking nitwit.

Neguse: This is one of the most shameful episodes in my view in the modern history of the congress. The decision that Speaker Johnson made to recess the house for 54 days, to send Republican members home on paid vacation for eight weeks, is disgraceful.

University of North Dakota researchers found that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein drives brain cell aging by triggering TLR7 in human astrocytes.

This could explain lingering neurological symptoms in long COVID.

my least favorite genre of conversation is "maskless person talks about how glad they are that covid isn't around in their area"

special callout to the "because my small widdle town is magical and germs can't hurt neighbors who know each other's names" trope

40-60% of cases still asymptomatic btw
