🧵 Emerging viruses need antivirals. This new Lassa study is encouraging. A new Nature paper reports that an oral antiviral (4′-fluorouridine) rescued non-human primates from advanced Lassa fever—even when treatment started after animals were already sick and viraemic. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The implication that if you don't respond immediately to conflicting instructions in a high-stress situation, you deserve to die ... is as absurd and unrealistic as it is abhorrent.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Particularly when conflicting instructions (“‘Move! Stop! Open the door! Keep your hands where we can see them!”) are being shouting at you by multiple officers.

i'm not being mean to you... truth is a love too valuable to miss

all because the weight of truth is a burden to heavy to bear

Go on the news and say your murder was your fault spend 10 years telling the world "He was no angel"

These people will kill you

Black folks are not being "mean" to you when we are truthful concerning the historical pathologies of your kinsmen... Truth is the greatest love

I don't think this is the right take. Russell Vought spent 4 yrs and tens of millions to run a legal chopshop that produced the Project 2025 document and substantial other material to do a legalistic coup. They are very methodically testing the judicial boundaries as part of a plan. 1/

Call me crazy, but if someone actually were trying to run you over, shooting them to death doesn't actually remove the threat. It just means their now-dead leg weight is still on the accelerator but there's no control over the steering. These shootings are plainly retaliatory, and always have been.

SCOOP: 404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. One can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer.

This is *excellent* forensic journalism by The Times: clear explanation using video evidence. This is the best of Times journalism. Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Dem Resistance: "Everyone with guns shooting my constituents should just try to get along!"

What can these tools ICE purchased access for do? According to materials obtained by 404 Media: - Monitor a city neighborhood or block for mobile phones - Track the movements of those devices and their owners over time - Follow them from their places of work to home or other locations

This is also a field test. If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with. Nothing.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

I love that politicians are cursing in public. People who curse are smart. edition.cnn.com/2021/01/26/h... - it particularly makes me happy when the decorum people get very upset about this.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

This. Leadership should endorse.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

do I need to post the thousand baby graves from the cemetery I used to work at again

Fleeing the scene of a crime is in itself a crime. Purportedly law enforcement agents are fleeing the scene of their crime. This poor woman and her friends and family will never stop suffering from what they just did, and the first thing they did was flee.

what's going to happen is poor people are going to be relegated to the apartheid of "AI"-only health care and the rich will be the only ones who get to receive care from an expert human.

If you’re looking for some way to help.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

Speaking entirely for myself: for years, I didn't really get flu shots. It was entirely because of laziness. Then, in 2014ish, I got insanely sick — sickest I've ever been, tbh. Collapsed on my kitchen floor. Lost my sense of smell for a month. It was the flu.* I get a flu shot every year now.

"Avelo spokeswoman Courtney Goff confirmed Avelo will be withdrawing its participation in the DHS program with the planned closure of its base at Mesa Gateway Airport (code AZA) on Jan. 27." - Congratulations to the activists and organizers who made this happen. www.theledger.com/story/news/2...

Scoop: “Nobody in senior leadership at NCIRD saw the revised vaccine schedule," CDC scientist says. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/scoop-nobo...

Sara Lopez is a 2-year old who is paralyzed due to a rare complication from the flu. Her mother then did something very brave. She said she had not to gotten Sara vaccinated against flu, and is imploring parents not to skip the shot. RFK Jr. removed the flu vaccine for recommendation for kids.

SARS-CoV-2 emerged in 2019. We have learned much about it since then, but I assure you there is much left to learn. The normalisation of this virus is both premature and dangerous. A new pathogen is infecting humans and some animals; unpredictable effects are to be expected.

Everyone join in the chant: CHONKY SHIBA CHONKY SHIBA CHONKY SHIBA

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

Or he’s operating under a different cost/benefit analysis - such as it may be - than other, more rational people, would contemplate.

Got paid AND his job back, lmao. Keep fighting these dweebs

I used to wonder how men like Stephen Miller found women who tolerated them and their inherent unavoidable abuse. Now I wonder that such marriages don't eventually fester like buboes and explode in great gouts of black pus. I suppose if you offload elsewhere enough ...

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

What a fucking joke. Vaccines: bad and dangerous! AI and deregulation: amazing and will transform your health! This is the state of our current (broken) FDA. Makary is a bad faith actor who should have been a tech bro instead of a surgeon 🤦🏻‍♂️

your mileage may vary but my experience on here improved pretty noticeably when I stopped offering explanations to people whose questions sought conflict rather than answers

“The appetite for jumping into Venezuela right now is pretty low,” one oil industry source told CNN. “The president’s desire is different than the industry’s. And the White House would have known that if they had communicated with the industry prior to the operation.” www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/b...
