people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

This is the way.

Of all the awful stuff in this reprehensible bill, the fact that your children stop being considered dependents at SEVEN may be the most horrifying detail.

For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law: 1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.

i really really hate how many people on the left are responding to good advice on dealing with ICE with "so they don't abide by the law anyway" ignore people who tell you not to take basic safety precautions like knowing your rights. those people aren't your friends

Friends, if someone posts a fun thread about something, you are not actually required to bring up Trump. It isn’t mandatory! I realize that the political situation is deep and dark and dreadful, but that’s kinda why we need a few seconds a day untainted by it.

Somewhere around $6 of benefit for the economy for every $1 spent on SNAP. It’s one of best ROIs of government spending.

β€œAll of these precautions have kept me safe. In contrast, almost all my colleagues have had COVID at least onceβ€”some multiple times. Some even have Long COVID.” Mitigations work! Repeat infections are not inevitable. Grateful to the HCWs still masking & protecting themselves and their patients

From the myth of a popular longing for the return of the Latin Mass to this, right-wing American Catholics have an entirely too grandiose vision of their importanceβ€”or indeed interestβ€”for the rest of the Catholic world.

This is so important because the framing has shifted as RFK Jr tries to make the death of children from a preventable disease seem normal, when normal was very recently (before anti-vax creeps like rfk jr) ZERO children dying of measles. Because vaccination was normal.

Saw this and thought my oomfs' feeds could use this

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. β€œOnly very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

If someone tells you to just let diseases spread without vaccines, treatments, or any notion that it's a bad thing for people to get sick, they're not practicing medicine. They're practicing superstition.

Fact check time. City said no to having an ICE jail and feds opened one anyway, feds won't let anyone see inside, no one knows if people are being held there, facility has been evading service of a summons. Mayor was allowed in then arrested inside the gate. newrepublic.com/post/195096/...
