I really, really dislike these lying attack ads in the Pittsburgh mayoral election. Both candidates have +-'s, but Gainey's minus is not housing (it's probably administrative). He's done quite well on housing.
Another lying mailer supporting Corey O'Connor and attacking Mayor Ed Gainey's accomplishments.
1. Mailer with image of derelict house saying it's Gainey's legacy.
2. Photo of the restored house -- that restoration is The Ed Gainey Legacy.

The notion that this administration was stripping Columbia of its medical research grants in order to combat antisemitism would be more credible if 1) there were any tangible & ethical requested steps & 2) they were not attempting to decimate research on several other fronts

My colleagues put together an ebook on tissue clearing (for #lightsheet microscopy).
If you are like me and have only experience with live imaging and are a bit confused with the different acronyms flying around, I highly recommend you take a look!
I counted 37 methods!
Pdf below or message me.

I want 2012 Mitch McConnell levels of obstruction until they give people back their public services.

A new OMB memo lists programs *potentially* affected by Trump's (illegal) funding freeze. The list does nothing to dispel confusion, since it includes programs (SNAP, Head Start) that OMB now claims are unaffected. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Democrats: what you need to all be saying, with a single voice, is "The United States government is in crisis, and our political and economic system may collapse, because Donald Trump is trying to throw out the Constitution and make himself a dictator."

Greenblatt, head of the ADL continues to fan the flames of anti-Jewish hate by equating AIPAC with Jews. The same as equating #Israel and Jews, making these false equivalancies is pure #antisemitism and feeds hostility and violence against Jewish people.
