No. No. No.

In a functional country based on law and order, Sheehy would be arrested for battery

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then being injured at home, on purpose, by a sitting Senator while exercising your constitutionally-protected rights.

War is the ultimate disease of cooperation

It’s been like this in Michigan, afaIk. Smaller groups and fast. 😳

Cutting funding to USAID was a crime against humanity.

The CDC has just issued a Travel Health Notice specifically related to polio popping up in about 30 countries.

They recommend making sure you’re up to date on your vaccinations, and if you are traveling to one of the countries in red, you should consider a booster.

Scoop: Trump calls Kurdish leaders in Iran war effort The Kurds have thousands of soldiers along the Iran-Iraq border.

Trump spoke with two Kurdish leaders Sunday.

He seems to be hoping to outsource boots on the ground in Iran to the Kurds.

Weird how no one's asking "how are we gonna pay for this"

And according the President, we “obliterate” those weapons in 2025. Or didn’t we?

The Human Cost of Mass Detention: ICE Reports 9th Custodial Death of 2026, 39th of Trump II Administration ICE press release for the death of Alberto Gutierrez-Reyes debuts a strikingly callous (and ungrammatical) new claim. Full table of all 39 deaths under Trump included in post.

One can only hope.

CORREA: What do you suggest I tell my constituents? Have a passport with you all the time?

NOEM: No. I would tell your citizens to be grateful they live in this country where President Trump is upholding the law. We will help them self-deport.

CORREA: These are American citzens!

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.

Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.

A tooth infection.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

This reminds me of when I was a PhD candidate during comps (prelims). I was surprised that *I* had to put together all 3 of my reading lists instead of my committee. But then I realized that the act of compiling was an important learning experience.

Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.

What in the absolute fuck is this.

no no no no no no no😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

Tell me again why the government has no money for healthcare.

USPSTF Meeting Pushed Back for Third Time in a Row Meeting will be 'rescheduled in the coming months,' according to HHS

The meeting of the United States Preventative Services Task Force has been canceled again—another attack on public health by RFK Jr.

This is an independent group that reviews scientific research for things like cancer screenings. Their recommendations must be covered by insurance.

MAHA!

Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport.

While I’m on vacation this week, China isn’t and continues to lead the way on energy security.

Fossil fuels are the end of all of us.
