New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

This is who we are now?!

What I don’t understand is they’re both terrified of losing their power and terrified of using it. Which brings me to the best protest sign I saw this weekend: why are eggs so expensive? Because all the chickens are in congress.

If they replaced Christian with generic religion, this would be fine. As it is it’s establishing an official state religion, which is blatantly unconstitutional.

Hmmm. I love across the street from a post office. Guess I need to start using it more before they shut it down.

Perfect. Thank you.

And, I don’t know, an entire law school worth of done of the top lawyers in the world. I’d guess that a lot their alumni would love to do some pro bono work for them.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Even if true, how can anyone possibly see that as desirable?

Just saw the only mention on the front page of the NYT was “see page 18”. Fifth avenue was shut down from 42nd street down to 20th. Teen Vogue is now the most trustworthy news source.

Besos is one of them. Democracy dies on the dark indeed.

What’s up? Not the Dow. Down 5,000 points since January 20. That’s 12% in three months.

We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.

Remember, if the prices are up today, don't worry.

It's not coming out of your pocket.

You just pay yesterday's prices and tell the store to bill Canada, Mexico, China, or Penguin Island because according to Glorious People's Leader Trump, the foreign countries pay the tariffs.

Doing taxes today and wondering why since the monies appropriated by congress are no longer being spent as intended which means TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

Golf before veterans. Or is it Saudis before Americans? Hard to say and doesn’t matter.

China has pretty deep pockets. Xi gets what Xi wants is an adage in China for a reason. The Stupid. It hurts.
