O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

To address this challenge, researchers focused on viral envelope glycans- sugar molecules found on the surface of many ‘enveloped’ viruses, the families most likely to cause pandemics, severe illness and death in humans. Glycans are sugar molecules that are structurally conserved across unrelated

This is BIG!!!!!
By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that share structural similarities- even across UNRELATED virus families- they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses. Unlike bacterial infections, which are often treated right

Boseman always felt like a king to me, in and out of his movie roles.

Coogler was so right about him -- "He reflected light, he refracted it, and when he did, he showed the greatness of our people, and the universe of our shared humanity."

An absolutely beautiful soul.

Roberts' legacy, in perpetuity, would be nothing but this - He is a blind and willing kingmaker, and is of the most loathsome sort.

"The leader of the nation’s judicial system has empowered the president who is the most disdainful in history of the decrees of judges, the provisos of the Constitution, and the workings of American democracy." www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem...

After 20 years in the Navy, Buzz Grambo thought he'd spend his retirement playing video games and watching baseball. Instead, he patrols the streets of Baltimore to protect his neighbors from ICE. He even upgraded his scooter to a Segway that reaches 26 mph to keep up with the agents. My latest:

She's absolutely right. This country is the exactly as what E O Wilson said - its voters having "paleolithic emotions", insisting on their "medieval institutions" and unfortunately endowed with "godlike technology" they don't know what to do with except for using it to tear each other apart.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I served a country that has not always served my people. I put on that uniform knowing that generations of Black soldiers before me were brutalized, disrespected, segregated, and still stood watch over a nation that often denied us basic humanity. 🧵👇🏾

Yup, same old same old, as old as King Solomon's judgement. The one who truly cares is always the one who willing to self sacrifice and gets shit on. The bully takes it all.
It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry
