I know there's a risk of amplifying the fascist horror show, but I think we need to be aware of just how far things are going, especially as this man is a Republican candidate for governor of California. All the old safeguards are being deliberately torn down, and the unspeakable normalised.

Israel levelling thousands of Gaza civilian buildings in controlled demolitions - BBC News

It's so odd asking politicians if they "believe" in climate change. It's like asking them if they "believe" in gravity.

Extraordinary interview on BBC R4 Today with Professor Nick Maynard a medic working in Gaza who is seeing multiple casualties that suggest young male teenagers attempting to get food aid are being shot at with the same body parts being targeted on the same days.

Thanks @bioinfoadv.bsky.social for this helpful summary of the latest great work from @adamsimpkin.bsky.social and Luc Elliott. Worth noting it works with Boltz-2 as well. Have to say I'm very pleased with the publishing experience at this journal - three genuinely constructive reviews. Thanks again

This is fascism Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that.
