"also demonstrated that imaging data can be used to distinguish patients from healthy controls with 100% sensitivity and 91% specificity"

If I am any country in the world right now (except Russia), I am looking at the US like a box that fell out of a truck driving in front of me that is marked "TNT."

The No Jobs President.

Yall should probably close your tik tok accounts.

I wonder if all the generals they just brought together in person have all been infected with that spyware?

Loyalty oaths.

If only we’d known in 2015 that we could just turn off the escalator.

The problem in America is not "polarization", it's the Republican Party. That and the fact that it's politically incorrect to admit this, due to the irrational bias and cult of "bipartisanship" and "centrism"

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power.

REPOST to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

My mom took Tylenol when she was pregnant with me and now I'm antifa!

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

The Easy Way The end of American exceptionalism.

Attorney Matthew Segal on the Kimmel story: “In my opinion, when companies or institutions cave to Trump despite the law being on their side, they are not misunderstanding the law. They are making educated guesses that the U.S. is heading in a direction where, in practice, the law won’t matter.”

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

I think fanning the flames is their goal here.

We're so fucked.

Something puzzling abt Tyler Robinson:

He turned himself in after speaking to youth pastor, suggesting LDS church still has sway over him.

But timing-wise, if he did a mission, no one is talking about it. It COULD explain why he left USU after a semester, but he's in his 3rd year in tech school.

Why you should leave X A rallying cry to progressives everywhere...

Nails it!

That and the media is just plain afraid of the Right.

Europe needs to ban X, full stop, and they need to do it soon. I think it's too late for us here but they still have time to shut the algorithmic fascism hose off.

Trump made some ridiculous appointments the first time round but, this time, they've purged so many good people under his apparatchiks that a
it's hard to see how these institutions can succeed.

Didn't he drop out after just one semester? A semester he, presumably, wasn't attending much? It's absurd.

Brings to mind the many times over the years I've heard: "Americans don't resent the rich because they believe, here, hard work can make them rich one day too." We invented the prosperity gospel. Worshipping billionaires seems to be our default position.

Anti-abortion but pro "involuntary lethal injection" for homeless people. Got it.

Novavax is not MRNA but they seem to be limiting access to that too. 🤷🏼‍♀️
