When the utilities wanted rooftop solar so they didn't have to build and maintain power plants, we installed rooftop solar. Now they want us to break their deal and have us pay even more.

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.

California city criminalizes ‘aiding’ and ‘abetting’ homeless camps | CNN A California city voted to criminalize “aiding” and “abetting” homeless camps Tuesday ��� an unusual move that advocates say could stifle aid to help for people who need it.

Looking good Fremont. "...experts [say] it could criminalize any humanitarian aid to unhoused people —including by service providers, churches distributing food and street medicine teams."

Camping Ban at Council 2/11@7. Item 2C on agenda. Email councilmeetings@fremont.gov or go to Council to say, vote "No"!

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Democratic Senator Ready to Do Dumbest Thing (Vote to Confirm RFK Jr.) What is Sheldon Whitehouse thinking?

I will donate to anyone who primaries a Democrat voting to confirm RFK Jr. It’s so catastrophically dangerous that I’m sort of dumbfounded. As a scientist, this is as close as I’ve been to being a single issue voter.

If you agree, let @whitehouse.senate.gov know.

“Moose, abundant in the dense forests of the Anishinaabe territories, serve as a crucial source of food for many Anishinaabeg. Moreover, various parts of the moose - its hide, fur, antlers, and more - are employed in the fabrication of drums, artistic creations, and an assortment of tools. Unsurprisingly, then, the moose is a frequent subject of the Anishinaabe painters of this time. In this work by Goyce Kakegamic, the moose - while undeniably abstract - is so rendered with such earnestness that it seems to have life from within the page. Similarly, the stately creature is coloured with a sonorous palette that it seems to have an inner luminescence.”

‘Never seen anything like this’: Trump’s team halts NIH meetings and travel In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research.

So he’s stopping US medical research now? No more cancer research? In addition to raising prescription drug prices? I guess voters really wanted higher drug prices and more cancer?
