Claims of neutrality are an admission of bias in and of themselves
No research is undertaken in a neutral space as funding, hierarchies, job perpectives, privileges, power and hegemony all come into play when deciding what will be research and how

“Scientists should stop trying to be neutral and instead embrace their values,”says a group of top climate scientists, including @katharinehayhoe.com. The neutrality myth is harming the reputation of science right when we need it most.” #ClimateCrisis

We're asking ICE to do nothing
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Before MRI became widely available in the 1980s/90s, some MS patients, especially women, were told they had anxiety or even hysteria because their lesions couldn't be visualized

Many diseases were once called “psychological” or “all in the mind”.
Again and again, biology later proved otherwise.
This thread shows clear cases where medicine got it wrong, then changed its mind once real mechanisms were found.

the silver lining is that there are plenty of great artists who will never be revealed to be child predators, or even people who hang out with child predators. Enough for a lifetime of enjoyment, even. Leaving the terrible ones behind is only good for you
I don’t care that your favorite actor, musician, or writer was in the files.
Leave them behind.
Stop forgiving the oppressor class because they made art or a book you liked.
Grow the fuck up.
These people are not your friend, and they HARMED CHILDREN.

"Wastewater surveillance reveals hidden COVID spread beyond reported cases"
As COVID testing becomes less routine, case numbers can underestimate outbreaks. Research led by Prof Murakami shows wastewater surveillance reveals hidden spread, offering a clearer view of transmission and early warnings.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.
