Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

🧵 Trump’s USAID funding freeze abruptly halted critical global health research, abandoning participants mid-trial. A gross ethical violation. @bachynski.bsky.social & I explain what happened and why it matters @bmj.com . ⬇️ www.bmj.com/content/388/...

A Republican legislator in Idaho wants to repeal the state's licensure law for genetic counselors. The aim seems to be gov't deregulation, but genetic counselors say deregulating their profession could harm patients. Here's the story on @genomeweb.bsky.social www.genomeweb.com/cancer/genet...

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

🧪⚛️ Holy cow. Threats to layoff 25-50% of NSF (!!!). This would be a complete disaster. Anyone who thinks cutting the workforce at a $9B/yr agency by this much will lead to greater efficiency is just out of their mind. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

@npr.org referring to the DOGE gang as a "Department" with no qualifiers about it being unofficial and illegal, is irresponsible. You have got to stop sanewashing and normalizing this.

Seriously, please watch this and understand. There is no such thing as "biological sex". It is a spectrum. Anyone who tells you otherwise is ignorant or lying to you.

The only, and truly ONLY binary is sperm and egg. Everything else--EVERYTHING--is on a spectrum. That is a fact. If you don't like it, if it makes you uncomfortable, or you don't understand it, that's a you problem. The fact remains the same, regardless.

if only Woodward had any kind of experience with communicating urgent information about presidential corruption in a medium that’s updated more frequently something like a book, but smaller, and different every day you could use a bigger font at the top of the page to draw people’s attention idk

I've tried to locate this ad on YouTube, but can't find it. Seriously, click through and watch it. They've taken an iconic Billy Graham speech warning about the need for evangelicals to stand on guard against false prophets, and then Trump fitting every part of his description.
