for those unaware, this would be perfidy, explicitly prohibited by the 1907 Hague convention and 1977 protocol to the Geneva conventions as war crimes; these (particularly The Hague convention) are customary international law and thus binding on Israel

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

That picture smells like bad weed and AF Woods.

NEW: In 2023, ProPublica revealed that Columbia University had ignored women who accused OB-GYN Robert Hadden of sexual assault, enabling the doctor's abuse for decades.

Survivors say they hope school officials will now be held accountable.

This one really bums me out a lot. I know why and it makes sense but it still bums me out.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Chummy Senate Democrats who mysteriously imagine that genuine fascists are good colleagues will be the end of this republic.

This is great!

It’s the very least of priorities but the next administration is going to have to deal with so much cringey and tacky bullshit.

Pathogens, Vol. 15, Pages 273: Trypanosoma vivax in Water Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis): A Host-Centered Synthesis of Pathogenesis, Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Integrated Control with Implications for Tropical Production Systems Trypanosoma vivax is a hemoprotozoan parasite of major veterinary importance affecting domestic ungulates in Africa and the Americas. While traditionally addressed within cattle-centered paradigms, accumulating evidence indicates that water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) are both clinically susceptible and epidemiologically significant hosts. This structured narrative review provides a host-centered synthesis of global evidence on T. vivax infection in buffaloes, integrating pathogenesis, transmission biology, epidemiology, diagnostics, chemotherapy, and integrated control. The analysis encompasses literature from 2000 to 2025 and incorporates seminal experimental studies published prior to 2000 that established buffalo susceptibility and reservoir competence. Evidence from cyclical (tsetse-mediated) and mechanical transmission systems is comparatively interpreted to clarify host–parasite dynamics. The Amazon biome is discussed as a model system for high-density buffalo production under mechanical vector pressure, offering case-based contextualization without geographic restriction. Particular attention is given to immunopathological mechanisms, chronic low-parasitemia carriage, diagnostic sensitivity in subclinical infections, emerging trypanocide resistance, and ecological constraints on vector control. Controversies and buffalo-specific knowledge gaps are highlighted throughout. By adopting a buffalo-centered analytical framework, this review supports translational diagnostics, targeted surveillance, and sustainable control strategies for trypanosomiasis in tropical livestock systems.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

oh hey look more proof positive that the best response to a trump lawsuit is “fuck you, make me.” hope everyone who gave in without a fight feels like the utter rubes they are.

You can be Covid-conscious (I am) but you shouldn't spread misinformation that vaccines don't prevent transmission. They do; they reduce transmission and severity, both of which appear to lower the risks of long Covid.

Here's why the messaging on Covid vaccines is still abysmal:

This is pretty explicitly anti-vaxx

Rubio Bypasses Congress to Send Israel $4 Billion in Arms

Rubio declares an emergency to bypass Congress to send $4 bn of arms to Israel. The possible orders include more than 35,000 bombs that are 2,000 lbs each—which US military officers say are unsuitable for urban combat—but which are responsible for the lion's share of civilian casualties in Gaza.

If you thought their historical erasure was bad, you most definitely are not going to like their historical revisionism.

I’m sitting here watching Molly of Denali with my kids on PBS and I know this is reductive as hell, but I just keep thinking about how we defunded stuff like this to have more money to murder people.

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.
