An outbreak of the highly contagious disease was announced earlier this month in the locality of Bulape, in Kasai, and has left at least 16 dead and 68 suspected cases, according to last week’s briefing by the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

MAGA Hypocritically Embraces Cancel Culture in the Wake of Charlie Kirk Shooting So much for the free speech absolutists.

A growing number of Americans are discovering that expressing the “wrong” opinion about the murder of far-right activist Charlie Kirk can come with career-ending consequences, as Trump’s allies tighten the screws on dissent.

It was GOLD and so obvious. Of course it flew right over his orange head.

Ugh, he just gets better. 😩

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

living with blinders on as our rights are stripped away comes at the highest cost down the road. enjoy that show, enjoy your beer, enjoy your kid's soccer game. but don't think war won't find you and your families.

wield what power you have *NOW* while you have it.

disrupt, speak out, organize.

What a different world we could have.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered:

Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t.

Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us.

I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

Republicans came for Social Security in 2005 — we stopped them. They came for the ACA in 2017 — we stopped them.

Now they’ve come for your PRIVATE Social Security and Medicaid payment data to take health care — we WILL stop them again!

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

To me the cool thing about this image is that the sprinkling of blue stars are in the foreground, some 5 million light years away, while all those gorgeous colorful swirly galaxies are almost unimaginably more distant, out in the far depths of the cosmos. More info: www.stsci.edu/contents/med...

3 ways empathy can help you handle conflict during the holidays Even if you think the other person will not be empathetic to your side of a discussion, if you model that empathetic behavior, you’re more likely to see the other person mirror it back.

Holiday gatherings can come with the invisible stress of potential arguments and conflict.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Tapping into empathy skills can help prepare you to face conflict head-on and diffuse a disagreement before it escalates.
