The funeral today had about 100,000 in attendance and 300,000 on YouTube. That is 0.1% of the US population. For scale, the Super Bowl was watched by 37% of Americans this year.

It drops off once it hits generations that were born after the establishment of the modern American suburb.

Deleted original quote post of this because I misread the quotation in the article. I thought they reworded the quote but they just cut off the beginning, which claimed that Biden banned Trump from Twitter. Outcome is still the same though, laundering a source's credibility to avoid embarrassment.

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him. “This is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.

A doctor who is a lead or last author on some of the most cited papers in top Google Scholar results for "leucovorin autism" also promoted hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat autism. @iwriteok.bsky.social has episodes on that subject, the results were horrific. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Ros...

Deleted a quote post about ICE in Chicago since the news is at best far too speculative to confirm apparently.

It's not closing at all Moreover, ICE must be destroyed bsky.app/profile/unra...

Folks there is no actual evidence ICE is evacuating their detention facility in Chicago the source is literally the Huffington Post claiming they've seen "communications" they won't publish stop pushing this at the very least until we get literally any confirmation Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

If you find yourself about to close the video out of unbearable cringe like I was, at least skip to about 0:28 and check one frame of the final painting, that's the important part.

The regime has said repeatedly that they want to eliminate a primarily heritable phenotype and we should take them at their word because they know they're lying when they say it isn't.

Pharmacy consolidation and supply chain de-diversification with Rite Aid closing is not making my life easier.

This is the point where we can stop talking about how the regime is hypocritical about free speech. The problem with accusing them of hypocrisy is that it implicitly assumes they think that rights like free speech apply to everyone, they don't believe that.

@jamellebouie.net is replying to a post about RFK Jr destroying the NIH. I think this is accurate. I think the regime would've left us alone if they thought they could keep controlling what a growing scientific/academic workforce did with the power it was accumulating. 🧵 (1/5)

Parasocial identification with leaders is a fundamental element of fascism. Ordinary people who can barely pay their bills live and die vicariously through them. The function of their Nuremberg rallies is to convey that the life of one sycophant is worth more than all of our lives combined.

Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

This is the most concise, short-term example I’ve seen of law enforcement and capital buying a law with overwhelming, dishonest advertising and the objections of every actual expert being immediately proven correct.

“Statements of ideological loyalty as a requirement for academic employment”, the ‘ideology’ being that universities shouldn’t be segregated. Meanwhile, the current White House has said multiple times that it may consider me guilty of fraud for saying trans people are real while being NIH-funded.

I keep saying Ezra Klien's job is to sell fascism to liberals and I mean it! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

In the time since Zuckerberg said that workplaces like Meta need "more masculine energy", Meta has been caught creating chatbots that impersonate celebrities in sexual conversations, chatbots that will pretend to be children in sexual conversations, and now this.

Normally, "building a legacy" refers to things people do when they're alive.

Another thing about Lindsey Halligan is that she has never prosecuted a case

Public trust around secure data is already challenging for legit scientists seeking access (e.g., vetting & use protocols), yet: "...it's not clear what Geier is doing w/ his access. If he has studies planned, no one has seen the protocols or methods, & it's not known if peer review is planned..."

1. Posting to emphasize that we have a program of federally sanctioned child abuse as outlined in the third image. 2. There's no question as to whether or not federal law enforcement will obey any of these rules, they won't. The question is if CA police departments will arrest them or not.

I grew up across I-94 and we used to take day-long bike rides to the park and back. The park is as accessible by bike as anything can be in the far suburbs, there are regional bike trail branches from the north and south. This is really disappointing.

Oh my GOD. This is the first official confirmation that the new H-1B entry ban does not apply to people with current visas (despite the text not containing ANY exception for people with current visas), and it’s not even something on an official website, it’s a passive aggressive tweet!

A family member sent me a gift link to that Economist article and asked what I thought. Its thesis is essentially that destroying the NIH won’t interrupt progress because other countries will move on without us and we can buy whatever they come up with. This was my response (written 7/18/25).

For what it’s worth, and I don’t know their source for this, UC San Diego sent an email this morning saying that anyone with H1-B status should be inside the United States by midnight tonight.

To recap, Trump signed a proclamation saying that after midnight tonight, no one with an H-1B visa may enter the US unless they have paid $100,000. However, anonymous White House officials are saying it doesn't apply to people with current H-1B visas — yet there is NO official guidance! None!

It’s not expanding, it’s moving. If Dems want to adopt “access medical standard of care can be contingent on social identify” as an allowable position, then the tent doesn’t include me.

Really frustrating tactic of anti-medicine grifters is pointing at raw reimbursement rates that are the entire revenue of a small business and pretending they’re the doctor’s personal income.

Every single day, someone in MAHA demands that scientists do something that violates the ethical principles that resulted directly from the exposure of the Tuskegee study.

Deleted the below posts out of an abundance of caution. Despite the words of the Proclamation, an unnamed White House official told New York Times that they intend to apply the $100,000 only to new applicants only. If that is correct, the implications are not as urgent.

Everything Klein writes needs to be read in the context that the same oligarchs who fully subsidize rightwing podcasters also created Abundance and Third Way to do the same thing with Klein and all the other liberal concern trolls.

Oh, it's $100,000 *annually*. Would an NIH grant even allow that expense? If this is going to be one of the SCOTUS "All of Trump's crimes are legal until litigation concludes" cases, I expect many scientists who can't obtain a green card in the short-term will leave.

If they were actually concerned about cancer mortality, they would focus on building a robust infectious disease control system so we're never again in a position where people are getting diagnosed later because the healthcare system was overwhelmed by a virus.

They know who she is and they know body-slamming her will draw attention, it's why they did it.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

Good, leave them alone.

Neither the project scientist nor the PI are going to be willing/able to pay an entire extra year's salary just to have the worker admitted to the country.

The university sent all students and staff a PSA email about measles symptoms and prevention, which I don't recall seeing before. I wonder if they expect some cases coinciding with undergrad move in.

After months of smearing this guy as a possible terrorist or terrorist supporter who they needed to eject as soon as possible back to Egypt, the trump administration today filed a motion in court basically going, eh nvm Glorious taxpayer funded use of time www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"I've been working hard to spread mistrust about covid-19 by spreading misinformation about them and now a lot of people don't trust them so we should not make them available to people who want them" is not the winning statement Dr. Retsef Levi thinks it is.

And Covid’s harms are not limited to myocarditis.
