I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Nearly half of CDC surveillance databases have stopped updating ‘The consequences will be dire,’ former NIAID director Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo warns

ICE observers recording with phones are heroes, and are the reason we know the truth about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

In public health, we make observations by collecting and analyzing data. But RFK Jr. is taking the equivalent of our “phone”. Without data, he can lie with abandon.

Two images taken 85 years apart on different continents, but the similarities are unmistakable.

BTW: The murderer in the picture on the right was eventually identified in 2025. Let's hope it does not take 84 years to identify the fascist on the left.

Let’s have more straight talk.

We are way past political differences.

It’s us against the fascists.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

Federal agents shoot person in Minnesota, governor says Minneapolis officials said they are investigating.

Another Gestapo murder in Minnesota. Six agents wrestle someone to the ground and then shoot him in the back

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump A German soccer federation executive committee member says it’s time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

About fucking time.

A German soccer executive is calling for a boycott of the World Cup because the president of the hosting nation is a cunt.

An infographic showing the European Union's initial humanitarian aid budget for 2026, totaling €1.9 billion. A world map features five color-coded circles of varying sizes representing funding for different regions. Regional Funding Breakdown: Sub-Saharan Africa (Green): €557 million (the largest allocation). Middle East and Northern Africa (Orange): €463 million. Non-geographical allocations (Blue): €415 million. Asia, Latin America, Pacific, and the Caribbean (Red): €294 million. Ukraine, Western Balkans, and the Caucasus (Purple): €153 million. The European Union logo is in the bottom right corner.

The EU stands firm as the leading global donor.

As global crises leave 239 million people in crisis, we are providing €1.9 billion in humanitarian aid in 2026, including €557 million for Africa, €448 million for Gaza and the Middle East, and €145 million for Ukraine.

Why researchers use RE-Place 💻

As we start the year, we are highlighting testimonials from scientists who have already used RE-Place. We are starting with Prof. Laure-Alix Clerbaux from UCLouvain 👩‍🔬

Inspired by her positive testimony? Make 2026 the year you explore and contribute to RE-Place 🤩

NASA just rolled out the Space Launch System (SLS), an 11-million-pound rocket built to return humans to the moon. 🚀🌕🧪

This powerful launch vehicle will carry the Artemis II mission, sending four astronauts around the Moon and beyond Earth orbit for the first time since Apollo 17.

I'm increasingly convinced that if social media existed in the 1930s Germany, there would be endless videos of Jews being hauled out of their homes while people watched like this. People let this happen because they can't fight the state and it effectively encourages learned helplessness.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.

At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Arctic security can only be achieved together.

This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies.

The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July.

A deal is a deal.

And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

Dr. Gladys West, Mathematician Whose Work Made GPS Possible, Dies at 95 ALEXANDRIA, VA — Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She passed away

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

PARP inhibitors have been very successful, but clinical translation of other synthetic lethal interactions has been challenging. This Review in the January issue discusses why.

That’s not “rhetoric.” That’s a governor calling fascism by its real name.

Anoctamin-2-specific T cells link Epstein-Barr virus to multiple sclerosis Researchers identified anoctamin-2 (ANO2) as a frequent autoimmune target in multiple sclerosis, with T cell responses against ANO2 occurring in over half of patients. These ANO2-specific T cells shar...

Epstein-Barr Virus #EBV was linked to #MultipleSclerosis - now a plausible cause has been found, misidentification by longterm memory T-cells that pick on the wrong protein, ANO2, instead of the EBV-antigen. Massive inflection towards the elimination of MS!!!

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.

I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.

But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

Don’t give him what he wants.

Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

🔥🇪🇺 “Europeans enjoy more free time than Americans, a higher life expectancy and lower levels of inequality – all with roughly comparable productivity.

Whichever way you look at it, this is a significantly superior economic performance.”

Fuimos de los primeros en llegar cuando se declaró el brote de #ébola en Kasai, en República Democrática del Congo📍y, junto a las autoridades sanitarias, la OMS y la comunidad logramos contener la #epidemia.

We live in a world so barbaric that it equates civilization with domination. It seeks to control land, people, and existence. The only markers of success in such a world are profit, power and greed, while harmony with nature and simplicity are mislabeled as primitive.
