No Kings in Holland, Michigan

Best June 14 “No Kings” sign idea? 1) the only DANGEROUS MINORITY is BILLIONAIRES 2) $TRUMP is a CRYPTO SCAM 3) $TRUMP = BRIBERY 4) how about those EGG PRICES 5) none of this would be happening if Trump were President … something else?

I hope friends in Holland, Michigan will join me tomorrow (Saturday) in Centennial Park, 12–2pm for “No Kings”—a peaceful protest against our President’s radical abuses of power. It’s easy to take freedom for granted, but it takes work to uphold. The least we can do is show up.

Approximately half of the 2 million Palestinians being starved to death are children. Each day, Israel directly murders many more with bombs the US gave it. I wrote to Rep. Bill Huizenga about the genocide being funded with our taxes and he failed to even acknowledge my concerns.

If your plans to study in the US were disrupted, consider coming to Taiwan instead. NTU, Taiwan’s top university, is welcoming students from any country. It’s a chance to keep moving forward in a safe democracy that values free speech, diverse opinions & great food. focustaiwan.tw/culture/2025...

If Musk is right, one man used his wealth and media platform to determine the outcome of the last election. When a single individual can do that, is it really democracy?

Surprising but true: the Taiwan government has permanently barred a citizen from donating blood because they legally consumed cannabis gummies in Thailand. I think this kind of policy is outdated and puts prohibitionist ideology ahead of public health. What do you think?

COVID happens to be caused by an mRNA manufacturing machine that inhabits your body and churns out product for ten days—if you’re lucky. Spike is but one of thirty odd proteins that may end up lodged in organs as distal as the toes, kidneys, stomach and brain. Yes, I still prefer a jab in the arm.

Haven’t had Covid for a year and a half, Taiwan has a big wave now, and we’ve got lots of travel coming up—so I decided to get a JN.1 booster. I think it’s wonderful how you can just swap a considerable risk of sickness for an almost negligible risk of side effects.

Our study on HPV45, a cancer-causing type of #HPV, is out in the International Journal of Cancer. Compared to most other types, HPV45 disproportionately causes adenocarcinoma—a form of cervical cancer that often lacks easily detectable precursors. 1/5 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Rümeysa Öztürk speaks after her release from ICE detention and return to Massachusetts. We'll keep pushing for freedom and justice for Rümeysa and other scholars like her who've been targeted for exercising their First Amendment rights.
