Studies suggesting circumcision rates are linked with autism are “riddled with flaws”

The horror continues…

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

So exhausting..

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

‘Maybe we need the same level of turmoil and concern when innocent kids are killed in school. Everyone’s talking about Charlie Kirk. Maybe we should be taking about all the kids who’ve been shot’ - my 16yo’s comment

So very sad, so very wrong. www.syracuse.com/news/2025/09...

It's amazing that ICE can use the color of your skin to profile for your arrest, but universities can't use it to understand the background that you grew up in.

Look, I don’t know why this is so complicated for people When a man says violence against women isn’t a crime, they told you who they are, and you can believe it or you can explain it away, but then you know who you are, too The misogyny was always a core point

The Trump administration has already added nearly $40 billion in new federal subsidies for oil, gas, and coal in 2025, a report released Tuesday finds, sending an additional $4 billion out the door each year for fossil fuels over the next decade. And guess what, taxpayers are going to pay for it.

"Why on earth would we abandon institutions that have genuinely made America great? ... Why would we put at risk laboratories that are working to cure cancers or perfecting artificial limbs or exploring deep space or testing the limits of artificial intelligence?"

The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

A voice of sanity within this absolutely insane ruling. The SCOTUS has officially corrupted itself. The fascist, police state is here.

It's really not rocket science.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

There needs to be a political push for a right to an offline life. Like require the existence a paper form and a way to unsubscribe by post

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

RFK Jr. has fired all members of the Preventive Services Task Force, which requires insurance companies to cover certain treatments. The Supreme Court ruled he could do so in June. Likely next step: Appointing quacks who will end mandatory insurance coverage for PrEP. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

The collapse of the world’s second-largest ice sheet would drown cities worldwide. Is that ice more vulnerable than we know?

This may turn out to be really bad. By removing all members of USPSTF, he can place whoever he wants without congressional oversight and they can take away health insurance coverage for preventive screenings, HIV testing, etc. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

A Democratic commissioner on the F.C.C. said in a statement that the F.C.C. is now imposing never-before-seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment, in direct violation of the First Amendment and the law. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/b...

In light of today’s news about the National Cancer Institute announcing a 4% payline, it’s really important to communicate to people that the previous 10% payline was still effectively a lottery and the result of decades of underfunding the NIH. Paylines used to be 25%.

PBS News is not going anywhere. We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air. We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

Earlier today we said everyone should oppose the current rescission package, even though it does not include #NIH provisions. We said this bill will embolden Trump and Vought to enact massive NIH budget cuts via another rescission. Now Vought confirms. 1/

250 people detained in the Florida Everglades have no criminal convictions or pending charges.

This is illegal and violating so many civil rights it isn't even funny. Court orders don't help when they aren't obeyed or ENFORCED. Laws don't work when they are disregard and BROKEN. This has to stop. People are going to die.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

This is an important read. The #NIH is shifting away from animal research towards a preference for 3D in-vitro organoid models. The field of 3D organoid models is growing & are they being refined, but still need be validated against animal based models. 🧪 www.genengnews.com/topics/trans...

UC-Berkeley has an open-rank faculty position in our incredible Climate Equity and Environmental Justice (CEEJ) research cluster. It is an extraordinary interdisciplinary group working across multiple colleges and departments at the university! More information here: aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04842

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

Killing the most vulnerable members of the American public by way of ending access to medical care to give tax cuts to corporations is EVIL, SINISTER SHIT. Everyone who votes yes to this has blood on their hands and should be fired during primaries.

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers. Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this. Where is the censure and condemnation?

🚨There is still time to yell at your Senators!!!!!🚨

Also scientists: This radical Supreme Court is likely to both allow illegal grant terminations, and prevent you from winning new grants — when they allow wholesale NIH firings in the RIF case. Total Court reform is needed.

My god. What the fuck are we doing.

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Of all the types of response I’ve seen to this round of Trump, it might be the self-identified “moderates” saying “no, I don’t like the optics of swinging chainsaws around, but at least they’re paying attention to government waste” that I’m least interested in hearing from on any subject ever again

That the second Trump admin would see unprecedented transfer of public assets to private hands was as predictable as the sun coming up in the east.

An ICE officer said, "I don't need a warrant." Things are escalating. We may end up striking simply because we all fear going out. Soon, they will get anyone off the streets for "harboring" people. The ones they released didn't get their phones back. Glendale, CA.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.
