Also, people who work in pharma die of cancer at the same rate as the rest of us. Are they all *that* dedicated to profits?

I think the broader issue is that information like “opening hours” used to be findable and now it’s not! So you just have to kind of hope the stochastic parrot got it right.

Motion to stop referring to it as Next Generation Sequencing. That's like saying The Matrix is a recent movie

As someone who had to take her one year old to the hospital with rotavirus - while I was also sick with it - just be thankful for the vaccine!

This is so deeply fucked. I wish these people would just admit they hate the idea of democracy and get it over with. This kayfabe bullshit is just silly at this point.

Amazon paid millions of dollars for an ad that only led to it getting its ass kicked for partnering with Flock but you do you, Meta. Let's see how that works out.

"And all of this is happening not after the great shocks of a depression or a world war, not at a time when the country was reeling from earth-shattering events...The rise of Trump came at a time of relative peace and prosperity. We have no excuse for having succumbed to the degree we already have."

The Anthem could make so much bank if it renamed itself "Kennedy Center" until the end of this Administration

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

This, right here 🎯💯. I’ve been trying to communicate this to people, as a native 🇨🇦, for a year now. Again, the fact that this wasn’t immediately seen as a presidency-ending, beyond-the-pale thing for all 535 Congresspeople, the media, & the public is deeply ugly & shameful for us as a country.

Joe Rogan is telling his millions of listeners the Trump admin is acting like Nazis.

Shawn Ryan is telling his millions of listeners the White House is actively protecting pedophiles.

Meanwhile, the paid GOP shills on Twitter want you to believe Trump is as popular as ever.

A group of us have come together to continue to support food, lawyers, and organizing In Minneapolis

These were all kind donations from physicians and scientists. I encourage others not able to go to Minneapolis to do their own part

Shouldn't it be a bigger story that the immigration cops are seizing and imprisoning people who CANNOT POSSIBLY BE IMMIGRANTS

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

That first photo is a gut punch. A bunch of heavily armed goons too scared to show their faces bullying a scared kid with the full force of the federal government behind them.

As someone who teaches a grad level course that requires stats, I can assure you it doesn’t seem to stick.

this is wildly illegal and the courts will rule it such, but congressional democrats should be thinking long and hard about the terms under which they will agree to continue funding this government

All of this. In this day and age, once someone decides to stop being part of the problem and be a part of the solution, I'm gonna give them at least a partial pass. Doesn't mean I have to become best friends with them, but I can at least focus on our (now) common goal instead of past differences.
