Buttigieg suggests he’d ‘assess’ a presidential run as he visits Iowa He vaulted onto the national stage in 2020 out of South Bend, Indiana. This time, his calculus looks different.
No one who is thinking about 2028 in this moment should be considered in 2028.
There is organizing happening now to fight for our communities.
If your sleeves aren’t rolled up and you’re not active in the grassroots NOW, you’re not fit to lead.
I take one day to step away from the news and social media and come back to this 🤦♀️

Hasan: “I thought the issue at hand was the genocide.”
"Why aren't young people protesting?"
Consider—because they all got their shit rocked by police and prosecutors last year trying to stop a genocide, and you abandoned them.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Trump just bragged about bringing back CHIP manufacturing:
1 - Biden did that with the CHIPS act, not him.
2 - Trump announced he was freezing the funding for that last week!
3 - That kills 115,000 manufacturing jobs

The NIH funding cap on indirect costs will eviscerate scientific research from the inside.
Universities won’t be able to support researchers, biomedical progress will slow, & YOUR health will be harmed.

A research lab from Northwestern, chosen because it's generic and sort of zoomed out. Three scientists are visible in lab coats, and there are benches and shelving, with glass along one wall showing another high-rise building nearby. Overhead fluorescents provide light.
This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.
It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.
