First human transplant of kidney modified to have ‘universal’ blood type Recipient diagnosed with brain death received a type-O organ, which is compatible with all blood types.

🧬 Universal kidney transplant breakthrough

Scientists transplanted the first kidney converted to a 'universal' type O organ using an enzyme to remove type-A antigens. This could ease donor shortages and reduce wait times.

I would suspect Russian, but not 100% sure as I don't speak it. It's definitely an Eastern Slavic language.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

You'd think this would be true, and many times it is, but not always. Women like Phyllis Schlafly occupied powerful positions in the conservative movement while simultaneously arguing that women should be in the home. People don't always behave rationally.

NPR did an article on this and it's for all the reasons you think it is. Specifically, the state said that the stockpile contained "abortifacients."

So they are no longer just anti-abortion. They are against birth control too.

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

This is a sickness. They say they want to hold violent criminals but that’s not who is being detained by and large.

She said she made it 21 years but that’s long enough to know this is bullshit.
In my 53 years I agree.

They’re dehumanizing us.

Thank you for the signature and sharing this post!

To all those in South Carolina, please consider signing the ACLU petition to stop ICE detention centers from being constructed in our state.

This applies if you need a visa, but for a lot of allied countries with the US there is a reciprocal program whereby citizens of both countries can visit without a visa for up to 90 days.

Of course, visa restrictions aside, there are certainly plenty of other reasons not to want to visit the US.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this story appears to be false. It is based on a viral fake headline attributed to Sky News that ICE agents are quitting en masse. They DO, however, report being highly demoralized due to a variety of factors internal and external to the organization.

Imposter used AI to pose as Marco Rubio and contact foreign ministers The State Department says it is investigating the incident, in which an "unknown individual" impersonated Rubio through the app Signal.

The fact that someone used AI to impersonate Marco Rubio and contact foreign diplomats is scary, but not unimaginable.

What is unimaginable is that Marco Rubio uses Signal to contact foreign diplomats so often, they thought it was legit.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

I used to live just a few blocks down from there. In no way were they impeding foot traffic. This hurts my heart to watch in my community.

(Not) Fun Fact: Two of those horses are named Watson and Holmes. I have met the animals before and they are very gentle. Can't believe they almost fell. :(

So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights.

This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.

As someone who lives in South Carolina this is excellent news! Now North Carolina can continue to absorb most of the hurricanes that make it past Florida. 😂

Poor Outer Banks...

More from Oklahoma plains country. The flora and fauna is amazing. My East Coast-raised self always naively assumed it was all "just grass," but I have learned that many different species cohabitate to create a diverse prairie landscape.

Scenes from the Wichita Wildlife Refuge and Mt. Scott in Oklahoma. Today the Wichita Refuge is home to 500-600 bison. Truly a beautiful landscape. It's amazing how much life prairielands can support on (mostly) grass.

This is all assuming, of course, that the DHS doesn't run out of money. These deportations have been inordinately expensive. They will need to find another source of funding to continue.

When I got my IUD inserted I was told to take Ibuprofen an hour before the appointment. Given no help afterwards. The pain was absolutely awful. I was told that was just common practice. (Sadly, they were right.)
