stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

I'll be honest with you. I see stuff like Platner QTing a holocaust denier and Ana aggressively posting "goyim are waking up," and I try to spin it into something satirical and humorous, but I think of the lovely and vulnerable, completely innocent Jews of this country, and I'm filled with terror.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

Integrating measles wastewater and clinical whole-genome sequencing enables high-resolution tracking of virus evolution and transmission Measles outbreaks have surged globally in recent years, but current surveillance systems have limited capacity to monitor measles virus (MeV) transmission and evolution at population scale.

New preprint from our Gates-funded Modjadji initiative showing that whole-genome surveillance of measles virus from wastewater greatly expands our ability for monitoring and control.

To put ICE Enforcement Removal Operations officers' 6-week, 334-hour training into context here's roughly what others get:

- FBI spec agents ~20 wks 800 hrs
- DEA spec agents ~18 wks 720 hrs
- Secret Service ~30 wks 1,200 hrs
- ATF spec agents ~27 wks 1,080+ hrs
- CBP ~19 wks, 720 hrs

per report, DHS is aiming to complete construction on the camps in november. thatโ€™s plenty of time to stop or delay them indefinitely, but we need to be clear-eyed about the timeline hereโ€”and why a cautious response from our elected leaders isnโ€™t acceptable.

If you oppose the construction of ICE prisons, itโ€™s a good time to also oppose jail construction, even when framed as โ€œimprovementsโ€ or โ€œupdating existing facilitiesโ€

in addition to favoring conventionally attractive people & raising barriers for disabled folks, video pivots pose an additional threat: further elimination of online anonymity.

to be heard, you have to be seen. when you're seen, you can be recognized. when you're recognized, you can be punished.

Iโ€™m once again writing that disbelief in structural racism is similar to climate change denial and then I remembered they donโ€™t believe in that either.

The reason you don't just doge a federal bureaucracy is because government is serious business for serious people and when you try to run it like a meme you end up publishing regs in the federal register only to withdraw them 24 hours later and in the process damaging institutional credibility.

She has short, neatly styled dark hair with soft volume, and gazes to the right of the camera with a calm, confident expression. She wears a tailored dark jacket or coat with a high collar and visible buttons, set against a softly lit, gradient studio background that creates a dramatic, professional atmosphere.

Cryptographer Juanita Moody helped avert a nuclear war.

She played a pivotal role during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, where her leadership in signals intelligence (SIGINT) helped provide critical, real-time information to US decision-makers. Moody died #OTD in 2015. #WomenInSTEM

Algae Living inside Salamanders Aren't Happy about the Situation The worldโ€™s only known vertebrateโ€“microbe symbiosis appears to be good for the salamander, but stressful for the alga. So why do they put up with it?

How come none of you have ever informed me that Spotted Salamanders have a symbiotic relationship with algae that grow in their eggs (algae supply larvae with oxygen and sugar)? That algae may live within them and pass to future generations?
