An American journalist helped facilitate RFK Jr's ingratiation into Trump's world and kept secret disqualifying information on him that could have kept him out of major policy, which impacts millions of people.

A three-dimensional photoacoustic and ultrasound automated breast volume scanner (PAUS-ABVS) for breast cancer patients A 3D photoacoustic-ultrasound scanner enhances specificity and retains the sensitivity of conventional 2D ultrasound.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

Immigration policies are creating impossible choices for NICU families.

Parents are afraid to visit their infants, deterred by anti-immigrant rhetoric and fear of U.S. ICE actions at hospitals.

“I was under the impression that we were protected from being affected by any anti-DEI legislation and rulings because of our First Amendment right to freedom of press, but it appears I was wrong,” Alice Magazine Editor-in-Chief Gabrielle Gunter said in a statement Tuesday.

We first note that hand-wringing about the decline in US college enrollments has mistakenly linked such declines to the price of four-year colleges.

But the decline is entirely driven by two-year community colleges (and by for-profit colleges). The four-year sector is the dog that didn't bark.

People catastrophizing about a precedent where no one can mark anything down anymore for being wrong when the real precedent is trans people not being able to do literally any job without an army of bigots launching a harassment campaign against their employer.

A lot of editors don't even know about media magnification. One of the shocking things - to me - when I left journalism school was how little editors knew about like the study of journalism as a discipline. It's a profession based in norms even if those norms are harmful.

Still haven't read the full agreement because I deserve nice things occasionally. But there's really a need for a propublica-type investigation into the social network of these boards, presidents, & donors with the admin. At the same time, exploring the similarities and differences across deals.

SB2: Paid family and medical leave insurance program; definitions, notice requirements, civil action. Paid family and medical leave insurance program; notice requirements; civil action.

There's legislation before the Virginia General Assembly that would create a paid family & medical leave program, but it will live or die on the fiscal impact statement. Will agency staff draw on states that have taken charge of their enabling software (Maryland), or those that have spent a fortune?

FDA to impose strict new vaccine requirements, claiming child covid shot deaths Vinay Prasad, the nation’s top vaccine regulator, said his team concluded that coronavirus shots were linked to children’s deaths, necessitating a new approach.

Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

And not even just planned obsolescence but incompatibility/dropped support. I have an intel-based Mac and there are programs that I can’t download because they only run on Windows or M chip Macs. Meanwhile I just replaced the battery this year and it’s still kicking so I don’t want a new one.

there wouldn’t be a “cost to work productivity” if not for planned obsolescence!

"The high-income admissions advantage at Ivy-Plus colleges is driven by three factors: (1) preferences for children of alumni, (2) weight placed on non-academic credentials, and (3) athletic recruitment...The three factors...are uncorrelated or negatively correlated with post-college outcomes..."

Louisiana Made It Nearly Impossible to Get Parole. Now It’s Releasing Prisoners to Deport Them. Gov. Jeff Landry eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those already in prison. Then he set all of that aside for one group: undocumented immigrants. Why? To have them deported.

NEW: Louisiana’s governor eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those arrested before.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"

It is not in fact smart analysis to talk about American power dynamics as if any POC who isn’t Black is functionally a white person

It astounds me that after over two years of recognized genocide, large media outlets are still publishing headlines like this. I don't know what else to say except I hope one day there is a reckoning for it.

I wish people would stop circulating this video. 27k students were absent during the Border Patrol raids. That does not = 30k walked out.

Amir and Osama have started their new school year after a long break due to the genocide. 💔

We need £375 for month's school payment to make sure they can continue their education without worry.🙏

Please,
Your support means stability and learning for them!
