Normally I follow dogs/rescues on other social media and science/politics here. But this pittie in Gaston County, North Carolina has totally stolen my heart because she reminds me of Shiloh (if we let Shiloh eat to her heart’s desire). She is 6-8 yo, dog friendly, and she is running out of time.

My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine. Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community. It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.

What could have been. I’m so tired of these people who choose to be pummeled, convinced that standing up for themselves might offend some imaginary voter, and of how their defenders make excuses for them and trash internal critics who want the party to be better. www.offmessage.net/p/boycott-th...

Like I said. The party needs new leaders.

Thank you! I, too, am shocked that so many are so quiet as if they think it will protect them from the worst of this. I don't think it will.

Ooof. What a depressing outlook. So bad for people at NIH, us, and the country as a whole.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Seems like today is going to be the third Friday in a row filled with extra, especially bad news on many fronts, so here is a 24 second timeline cleanse.

Today, the study section I am a member of is one of 26 out of 26 canceled. No new post on the federal registry and councils are postponed indefinitely. Universities focused on overhead cuts considering these a challenge to their survival. But *no grant at all* seems like the issue to battle first..

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

This, this, this. We are all one accident, one diagnostic test, one second away from needing this support.

Elon Musk has fired an estimated nearly 6,000 Veterans from their federal jobs, including many who are disabled. In Trump's America, the world's richest man gets to kick thousands of our nation's heroes to the curb. punchbowl.news/article/wash...

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan prospect.org/health/2025-...

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation. Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed. And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

Hearing from VA doctors who got Elon's threat email. I guess he thinks they're worthless too. At least he's showing his true colors.
