Same. What a doofus.

"This American leadership also delivered a new platform that may drive significant innovation in cancer research," Dr. Bourla said in a statement, referring to mRNA technology. "Such an accomplishment would typically be worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, given its significant impact."

Genuinely hilarious how many people are trying to sway President Trump to their side with a very specific flavor of flattery.

Not a great piece. Wish the writer delved deeper into moral injury-- They've only skimmed it, and thinly applied it to higher Ed. Disappointing.

Maybe you prefer "endemic"

beautiful! Turkish?

REUTERS Ted Cruz say: is not the time for finger pointing USA TODAY Texas Sen. Ted Cruz condemns partisan finger-pointing after deadly flooding Advertisement Republican Sen. Ted Cruz says it's not time for political finger-pointing after deadly floods in Texas killed at least 80 people.

Ted Cruz claims it’s “not time for partisan finger-pointing” about the Texas floods - but he sure didn’t hesitate to blame “leftist policies” for the horrific California wildfires in January.

We don’t need to tolerate constant MAGA hypocrisy about when its appropriate to “politicize” tragedy.

MAGAs: Why won’t Muslims just assimilate to our country!?!

Muslims: [Get elected to office]

MAGAs: …Wait not like that

Climate change!

Let alone a sleeper spy. A useful idiot, on the other hand.....

This seems fake

Citizens United gave us Oligarchy. Just look at this graph. 😑

Corporate greed *

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

I'm so sorry. I'm in academia myself. The demographic cliff, shrinking middle class, federal funding cuts etc etc will result in a huge domino effect. It's upsetting that there's no real warning 😔

MIT following Harvard's lead here

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

Justice Sotomayor with a bone-chilling dissent today: “The implication of the govt’s position is noncitizens AND US citizens could be taken off streets, forced onto planes, confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress…This Nation's laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise.

Hey me too, perhaps we crossed paths

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Rumsfeld touted the "a few bad apples" stuff, and there were a lot of waterboarding apologists like John Yoo (and Christopher Hitchens, for a hot second). Only a few enlisted saw trials/incarceration. One of the central military whistleblowers was paranoid for the rest of his short life.

THIS

Dubya/Cheney, the worst presidency in modern memory.

It was either the Patriot act, or the invasion of Iraq. Or both.

Homeland security was established by dubya and Obama expanded and strengthened it, much to our horror. A lot of this goes back to post 911 expansions of power that the Dems never curtailed.

He notes that, in late 2019, the first Trump administration ended a £200 million early-warning pandemic programme, aimed at training scientists in China and around the world to detect and respond to such a crisis. A few months later, the Covid pandemic began.

Same as his first term. It's Groundhog's Day again, again.
