One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

This thread is shocking in the best possible way.

This advancement in America was only possible through investment in education and science. Over the last year, we have absolutely destroyed our scientific and educational infrastructure. Look to other countries for the next major advancements.

Bible: In the end times there are gonna be charlatans who use my name to trick you into supporting evil and it will be incredibly obvious to everyone except you. Evangelicals: This section of the Bible has always been mysteriously vague.

This is called “strategic defeat.” You have ended up in a worse position than before you began, with your adversary, while battered, emerging in a stronger position than before.

I am looking forward! Thank you for inviting me to talk! #aging #eye #molecularneurodegeneration

They keep stealing shit from the people they detain. Remember how they took that kid’s cell phone and sold it for cash? Just straight up lawless gangsters

850 Tomahawk missiles could be $3,060,000,000... That is 3 billion sixty million US dollars. That is 1224 5 year biomedical research grants. Literally, over 6 millennia of biomedical research.

I was just helping my kid with their high school Gov homework, and was astonished to learn the United States has a Congress.

The Trump regime got rid of 10,109 PhDs in science and related fields, representing 14% of the total number of PhD scientists in the federal workforce.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Corporations as vectors of chronic disease, @nejm.org Calling out 6 commercial products that contribute to 31% of all deaths globally. Chemicals include pesticides, PFAS, manufactured. And counterstrategies to address www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...

I cannot believe we got so far!!! Help us to pass to the next round. Thank you!!!! 💙💙💙

the US could have elected one of those children’s toys that makes farm animal noises when you pull a string and there’d be normal gas prices and airport wait times right now

The Czech #ERC_CZ program is the best thing the country has done for research. Czech @erc.europa.eu wannabes who did not get the EU grant receive support from the Czech ministry for 2 to 5 years (depending on the ERC grade (A/B)). It supports research that would otherwise never see the light of day.

A friend shut down his companies manufacturing operation and is moving it to Canada or Australia because they were paying tariffs 4 times on goods shipped back and forth across the Canadian border making them uncompetitive. Friend: "America is telling us it's not a predictable place to do business"

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

This is an incredible documentation of the systematic, intentional collapse of American health science, by Elizabeth Ginexi. open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

nearly a 50% cut in basic science, which underpins everything no Wright brothers, no Apollo mission

Update from Kevin Morrison: Sunny Pavqi, who CBP said they never detained Thursday and Friday, appears to have been transferred to Wisconsin according to her phone location

1% grant scores, not getting funded.

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Same Mr. Penguin. Same.

4 years of the Russian effect. 4 years of sirens, explosions, sleepless nights. Missile and drone attacks. 4 years of full-scale invasion. 12 years of aggression. And still — Ukraine stands.

A sphinx moth came to slurp at a desert lily as we were watching the sunset over the Anza Borrego badlands.

One of the people who died the first night I spent documenting the COVID Intensive Care Ward, died believing that the thing which killed him was a hoax.

Four years ago, in the early hours of the morning driving back to my apartment.

But it does it quickly and congratulates you for asking

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

$1.65M per day in DC alone. That’s approximately two NIH R01 Grant *years* burned per day. Ninety *five year* R01s projects burned in the last seven months with no end in sight. Instead of lasting scientific advance we get….what? Civil rights violations and authoritarian replacement of democracy.

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.

Takeaway: Any time the Trump administration says "AI" or anything about software or data, what you should hear is "repression as a service" This has 2 parts: 1. AI as an excuse to consolidate data 2. AI to execute orders that humans would refuse
