New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

β€”Pioneering cancer researcher;
β€”*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
β€”Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
β€”"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

Who would have guessed appointing someone completely unfit for the job would lead to shenanigans? Color me shocked.

Every single person who allowed this to happen should be ousted from their office.

How embarrassing. This is big middle schooler energy from an official administration page.

AB canned drinking water and we picked up a flat every couple days. When we went back to school it was stacked in huge pallets near drinking fountains. They knew what they had 🀣

I’ve known water in cans is superior since the Flood of 1993 when we lost our drinking water on the Mississippi for a whole summer. It’s fantastic.

This.

Our politicians are so used to their position as sound bite jockey and I suspect that’s why they have been so ineffective at addressing this crises. Suddenly they are called to be people of action and they do not know how.

So China is basically doing what I did after the election. β€œWhere can I get the stuff I need without giving money to people I don’t want to fund” but on a massive scale.

Treating criminals with violence and torture doesn’t solve the problem and isn’t an answer. What the actual fuck? Most violence is created by poverty, desperation, and abandonment by the dominant culture. Read a fucking book my dude.

At this point, we are close to a tipping point of unrestrained violence. When concealed carry laws meet masked men pretending to be real agents…

On behalf of my friends with autism, thank you! Those who are living with my severe forms of autism still deserve respect for their humanity.

And even if they don’t, even if they are living with everything he says, they deserve far more respect for their humanity than this man is capable of understanding.

They want what they’re being paid out. Money, power, the satisfaction of their cruel hatred of people not like them. It’s disgusting.

I keep waiting for their crosses to burn a hole in their neck. That’s what the movies said would happen to demons.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. β€œThe officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, β€˜No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, β€˜Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers β€” answers he’s still waiting for.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

I started my boycott the moment they announced the move and it will exist in perpetuity. I cannot forgive them for complying in advance. Plus I like Costco better.

Can someone just start a taunt that Trump is too weak to make it happen? Reverse psychology this shit already and bring that poor man home.
