ODNI (2023): "The [DOE] and the [FBI] assess that a laboratory-associated incident was the most likely cause of the first human infection with SARS-CoV-2, although for different reasons." The qualification "although" suggested incompatible different reasons, consistent with the new FOIA release 👇

"a cell selective for P actually responds to “P AND NOT anti-P,” might aptly be termed “dialectical,” in recognition of the philosophical school that argues that objects exist and are known only in relation to their opposites (e.g., Merleau-Ponty, 1962)." - Troyer, Krukowski, Priebe & Miller (1998)

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were outside Germany, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

This may seem silly in light of the atrocities committed against him, but it is what I can do to humanise him: In Latin naming practices, Abrego García (yes it carries an accent) is not a compound last name, it’s 2 different ones. His short name is Kilmar Abrego (forename, paternal last name)

It is an effective communications tool, but it erroneously accepts the Trump administration's premise that the crackdown is "about" antisemitism in some meaningful way (rather than, say, being "about" crushing activism for Palestinian liberation)

Y'know the Harvard letter would be more impactful if it didn't spend the first half talking about how the university had already brought its full weight to quash anti-genocide protesters but y'know I guess it beats the hell out of Columbia

YES! These NIH cuts to training grants are especially harmful at lower research active universities. SJSU had our U-RISE program (which we've had since 1988) cut, leaving students w 4 days notice of no stipend and cutting off an important way to get the research experience needed for PhD programs.

I know Mohsen as well. He's a peace activist who opposes all forms of violence and has been outspoken against antisemitism in the protests at Columbia. It seems ICE sent him a fake naturalization interview invitation to trap him and detain him. This is cruel, unjust, and illegal. #freeMohsen

Der Ansatz immer wieder auf die Geltung des Rechts hinzuweisen ohne es auf die Fakten in #Gaza anzuwenden ist feige. Das letzte funktionierende Krankenhaus kann man nicht völkerrechtskonform angreifen. Dies war ein schwerer Rechtsverstoß wahrscheinlich ein Kriegsverbrechen.
