The National Cancer Institute hasn’t made a single grant this fiscal year as the Trump admin cuts federal funding for research.

Obviously, this isn’t *always* the case, but for twins in the NICU, I think Baby B somehow senses that they’ve been labeled β€œnumber two”. I swear it’s like they develop a complex and decide β€œI’ll show you MFers!”, make progress faster, and end up going home before Baby A.

Depends. The more premature the infant, the higher their risk of Metabolic Bone Disorder of Prematurity/Osteopenia of Prematurity. And prolonged TPN (IV nutrition that bypasses GI tract due to immaturity and/or illnesses like NEC) increases risk of fragile bones.

Toth is absolutely a psychotic fascist. He introduced a bill to make it a felony to be transgender. He also suggested involuntarily committing every trans person in Texas.

Absolute Aktion T4 level Nazi.

Same here. The restaurant where I worked closed for a while, then it was takeout-only until September 2020 (when I returned after not working since early March). Would’ve preferred to *not* go back then, but had to spend 10k of my college tuition savings on ECT & couldn’t afford to go w/o revenue.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Beyond being required by the U.S. Constitution, if you happen to think that war with Iran is so great, then why not publicly make the case and put it to a vote of the people’s elected representatives?

Don't forget, this whole Iran thing is to distract from the Epstein list AND his plans to cancel the midterms.

Apparently, it was in the aftermath of a motor vehicle accident (cars stopped, people outside the vehicle). One person stabbed several others, and the suspect was then shot by police.

You’re absolutely correct that she is (currently) choosing to stay with him, and she is free to choose differently. Only she can decide what she’s willing to put up with. But I do empathize with her if she was too young & inexperienced to realize what marriage to him would look like in the future.

There’s a good chance she didn’t fully understood what choosing life w/ him meant when they married. Even if they didn’t rush into it, they started dating at age 19/20. It’s harder to see red flags/comprehend the reality of what a future with someone will look like at that age.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

screenshot from the linked-to timeline that reads:
February 20, 2016: Insofar as I can tell, the first ever claim that "social contagion" is turning kids transgender.
It occurs as a comment on the 4thwavenow.com "About" page, posted on February 20, 2016 at 5:27pm, under the handle "skepticaltherapist." Shortly thereafter, 4thwavenow.com turned this comment into its own post, called...

As noted in the previous entry, this is skepticaltherapist's earlier comment, posted along with a brief intro from the folks at 4thwavenow. There are several potentially noteworthy things about it, and the comments that follow it:
o    It begins by referencing a Star Trek TNG episode in which the crew becomes addicted to an alien video game, then makes the following analogy: "The alien mind control device made its way into my home about two years ago when my then eleven-year-old daughter begged me for a Tumblr account since her friends all had one."
o    In the piece, skepticaltherapist describes herself as a psychotherapist, later adding, "As a therapist, I mostly work with adults."

precisely 10 years ago today, the concept of "transgender social contagion" was first invented on the now infamous anti-trans parent website 4thWaveNow. a full timeline of how the concept spread (not unlike a "social contagion") can be found here: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2019/02/orig...

File this observation next to the fact that those pushing AI as replacement for workers are close allies of the religious conservative movement seeking to push women out of the workforce and back to being housewives, end no-fault divorce, perhaps even strip them of the right to vote.

ROFL!!!

Bartiromo's quote from MacGuineas was IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP'S TARIFFS.

Bessent trashed the quote because he assumed it was in opposition.

Bartiromo even tried to explain this to him and he still continued to trash her.

NONE OF THEM LISTEN TO ANYTHING THEY'RE SAYING.

Is it a β€œbenefit” to take your infected unvaxxed child to the children’s ER at a local hospital at the same time a neonatologist or recently discharged newborn re-admitted to NICU is there, exposing DOZENS of NICU babies too young to be vaccinated (who must then be isolated & given IVIG)?

Two issues I'm pondering. One is that you can't move this many people without inflicting tremendous physical and psychological harm on those deported and on society itself. The second is that left in place for years, mass detention on a whole new level will be normalized. It rarely vanishes. [1/3]

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.
