Investigators believe the man may have been framed to get him arrested & deported before he could testify in a case where he was a victim of assault. The person who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity, because they couldn't speak publicly. apnews.com/article/ice-...

it is jarring to know in detail how many people, including many senior elected officials, simply don't care how millions of people in and out of the US will unnecessarily suffer and die for the second time in five years

If protests didn’t work they wouldn’t try to stop them. If shame didn’t work they wouldn’t cry about cancel culture. If these abductions were legal, they wouldn’t need to wear masks.

Once again, its time to remind everyone that Hitler got elected with < 40% of the vote. System design matters, with Democracy as with any other system with reasonable complexity.

MAGA used to cheer when undocumented immigrants were arrested because they didn’t “follow the rules” Well, these migrants followed the rules And yet-that’s WHY they’re being detained Because “the rules” mean nothing to the Trump administration Not when it comes to Black and Brown people

Well, Putin is bringing back Stalin so why not Lysenko too?

submitted 1 hour ago • 0 comments

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Representative democracy relies on the ability of voters to be heard by those they elect to represent them. For several years I've been writing about how generative AI can facilitate man-in-the-middle attacks on this system. @ketanjoshi.co's post highlights a striking case out of Canada.

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

Breaking news from the can't-make-this-shit-up desk: The same folks who are certain that Fauci caused COVID by funding people to study bats in a Biosafety Level 4 facility now want to import 400 ostriches with the goddamn bird flu from Canada so they can live on Dr. Oz's ranch.

Of course this has nothing to do with what is going on at the major medical journals and everything to do with making sure that HHS has complete control over what government scientists say in their scientific publications.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Trump is openly declaring that he should have the power to circumvent Congress in levying these tariffs to address emergencies. Yet as Trump himself demonstrates here, in claiming this authority, he’s invoking an emergency that is not real. newrepublic.com/article/1959...

There ALREADY IS an asset test, @governor.ca.gov. You have to be dirt poor to qualify. I know because my mom eventually qualified after her life savings (and some of mine) went to assisted living. No more than 2K in assets. You're allowed to have a car. That's it. How the fuck do you not know this?

It's Friday Night, which means Trump's weekly science bloodbath. BUT WHY DOES HE DO THIS ON FRIDAY NIGHTS? Simple: He's a coward! Americans overwhelmingly support science! His attack on science is unpopular and he wants to bury it in the news cycle. Not on our watch. #StandUpForScience

Yes, Joni, we are all going to die. But it shouldn't be our SENATORS who are killing us.

submitted 1 day ago • 263 comments

Hey Sen. Joni Ernst, people shouldn't be dying of treatable conditions because their Senators cut social safety nets that people have paid into all their lives, so they no longer have access to the care that would treat or manage their conditions. The fact that this has to be spelled out is insane.

A reminder: there is no singular "algorithm" here. Just saw two separate posts of people falsely claiming "the algorithm" is suppressing certain types of content here. But things are different here. You get to choose your own damn algorithm. Or make your own. bsky.app/feeds
