Ghosts of 4ths of July Past #4thofjuly #fireworks

Day 35 Albania: Tonight, Tirana's streets fill again — thousands demanding Rama's resignation, month after month, undeterred by tear gas. Meanwhile in the US, "8647" stays coded, quiet, almost timid by comparison.

#WATCH "8647" chants as protesters march through #WashingtonDC with large constitution on #America250

On July 4th, remember this: ICE is one of the most unconstitutional, anti-American forces to operate in the USA in our lifetime. We built PAXIS.app to help people fight back lawfully, constitutionally: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS Help us get it into the hands of every immigrant, every ally.

Life is exhausting these days for lots of us, and I think I’ve figured out why. I think it’s having to sit through the pretending... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/americans-...

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

This man gets it. Bravo!!! And it’s true, these right wing manosphere guys do suck in lost young men. We need more good men!!! #Pinks

One study found Musk’s closing of the U.S. Agency for International Development could cause the deaths of millions of children.

As an experienced research scientist, I know what happens when science gets attacked. Cuts to the CDC and NIH mean delayed cancer treatments, fewer public health breakthroughs, and lost progress against diseases like HIV and measles. That's why I'm running to bring a science voice to Congress.

"Silly Science" can lead to unexpected successes. The first Golden Fleece Award went to Hatfield & Berscheid, because the NSF awarded them $84,000 to study why people fall in love. Their work provided the scientific foundation for a $6B industry: Dating apps. 🧪 www.profgmedia.com/p/the-cost-o...

"Everyone will be affected, not just scientists. Every community in the country.“ A sneaky rule change has the potential to blow up scientific research in the United States. But there’s still time to fight it. Read more from @beebrookshire.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/science/9576...

Zohran Mamdani promised to FREEZE THE rent for more than 1 million NYers in rent stabilized apartments and yesterday he delivered. Yet corporate media and corporate Democrats can't stop attacking any Democrat who makes people the #1 priority over corporate interests abc7ny.com/post/final-r...

How 'exactly' does one reassign meaning in their life, if their work/occupation was the main driver of that meaning? Hint: you can't, at least not easily or quickly. The lack of planning & insight into the societal effects of AI will be our undoing. www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

📌 The editor-in-chief of Russian state television has fled to Switzerland and is reporting that Putin has been receiving fake news for 15 years—edited specifically for him 😬

This is honestly the best news I have written about in like a week. nerdist.com/article/mcdo...

The world & it’s leaders hate this guy

RFK Jr demanded the *retraction* of a 20 yr Danish study that showed aluminums in vaccines do not cause health issues. The journal REFUSED saying the study has been peer-reviewed and found to have no significant flaws. Imagine asking science to un-science itself.

There’s a train scene that’s worth the ticket price alone.

Too pretty not to share. But, more specifically, what you are looking at is a 3D-model of the regional impact of chronic ischemic microvascular changes in the brain. Most of these changes occur near the lateral ventricles and impact subcortical brain regions, like the caudate. 1/n 🧪

At the American Medical Association’s annual meeting, members of the group’s House of Delegates sent a clear message to their leaders: Call out RFK Jr. — even if it costs us in the pocketbook.

Day 12 Tirana Albania: the streets as packed with protesters, it’s a multi-generational event that transcends all the Albanian society as a whole. Hands off Albania! 🇦🇱

Hungarian PM Magyar shreds the homophobes and defends gay parents. NatCons claim to defend Western values. They have it backwards. Western values ARE constitutional rule of law and a government that stays out of your bedroom. Magyar represents the only future for the right.

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

We are being punished by living in an uneducated society. This is not an elitist statement...it's just a fact. If we don't treat the cause of why we're in this hellscape this will keep happening. #electionsmatter

Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.

An illustration of modern-day resistance by scientists 1. Scientist et al. pen editorial criticizing Trump's policies on science 2. Attends professional meeting, distributes reprints of editorial 3. Meeting organizers expel him 4. Video goes viral, public is outraged 5. Streisand Effect achieved.🧪

Wonderfully informative article by fellow neuropsychologist, Karen Sullivan, regarding the current trend in AD blood-based biomarker collection. Please read if you (or your loved ones) are considering undergoing blood biomarker testing for Alzheimer's related changes. 🧪 abpp.org/newsletter-p...

It has only been 18 1/2 weeks since the cold-blooded, state-sanctioned execution of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. His murderers still have yet to be brought to any sort of justice. Complacency is cowardice. Complacency is tactic collusion. Complacency is the death of our Constitutional rights.

How much of our current woes and conflicts are due to people not being psychologically equipped to deal with the after-effects and trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic? I'm starting to think that some of what we see is self-destructive behavior secondary to acute stress and PTSD-like reactions.

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)
