ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

“During Standard Time, the body is more aligned with the sun. This supports physical and mental health. During Daylight Saving Time, the natural cycle is out of sync…”

⚠️ PSA - don’t take health advice from people who snort cocaine off toilet seats. We are truly living in Idiocracy, and you can thank RFK Jr. for this outbreak.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Great questions 😃🎉!! Why does the brain work the way it does? Why is everyone else paralyzed when they sleep but not me? What causes sleep talking? How did NOGGIN get its name? More from Portland public schools 🎨🧠💚🤓👉🏼 nwnoggin.org/event/noggin...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Bad Bunny ha nombrado en la #SuperBowl todos los países de América Latina en defensa de los migrantes y contra el criminal ultraderechista Donald Trump. Enorme.

The high of halftime and the low of actually watching this game. 🤣

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Never thought I’d be a co-author on a structural biology paper, but the world works in mysterious ways! Happy we could contribute to this work from the Gouaux lab @volluminstitute.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science. www.science.org/content/arti...

Vigil for Alex Pretti and others murdered by ICE as Republicans endorse it and Democrats do nothing 💔

Only political cowards “struggle” to respond...

The American people vs the Federal government is a revolution. Be on the side of the people.

Violence at the hands of the state is nothing new and has been the reality for many non-white Americans since the very beginning. This needs to be top of mind when confronting what happens next and where we go from here.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
