Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

So because after 47 years of trying, I've finally ended reliance on corporate media for anything but distribution and ad sales, and I don't maintain a website, just a podcast with an audience of 30m last year... I can't get verified?

Have you ever heard of a limnic eruption? Probably not, since only a few have occurred in recorded history. Here is a thread on one of the wildest natural disasters that almost never happen, and the “invisible tsunami” that claimed over 1,700 lives in the middle of the night, without a sound. 1/10🧵

This incredibly important space telescope is ALREADY IN SPACE, functioning beautifully, and on track to continue delivering astonishing cosmic discoveries for another 5-10 yrs. Abandoning it in space, turning off the receivers, and discontinuing its research would be horribly wasteful. #SaveChandra
Chandra, the space-based observatory that brings us incredible x-ray images of the most extreme environments in the cosmos, is at risk of cancellation. It’ll be a huge loss to astronomy if the mission ends prematurely for budget reasons. Go to www.savechandra.org to find out how to help #SaveChandra
