My travels to Poland have taught me that painstakingly restoring destroyed historic buildings is possible. It won’t be the same but it will be better than a gaudy golden ballroom standing as a reminder of our abject failure as a country to stop this POS.

Proud of the Mariners and thankful we got to experience October baseball even though it nearly killed me with stress. Looking forward to seeing the Jays destroyed by the Dodgers. Their dumb HR jacket is the douchiest thing I’ve ever seen.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."
Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'
The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

RIP Jane Goodall. Her work captivated me as a girl and inspired me to be a scientist. She showed us the depth of animal lives and emotions while going against the scientific consensus at the time. Her voice is needed so badly at this time and it will be missed. Thank you, Jane.

Got my Covid booster today at a CVS in WA.
The pharmacist said they could only give doses those over 65 and those who were high risk. She all but winked and said “we don’t have to ask condition you have, you just have to say yes.”
It’s stupid you have to do that but at least it’s available.

I took this picture myself at the CDC protest today. These are among the hundreds of bullet holes in CDC headquarters windows, visible from the street. I heard today that the admin has no urgent plan to fix these windows.

I guess one way to “re-establish public confidence” in vaccines is to make them unavailable so that people have to deal with the devastating consequences of infectious diseases that they have never experienced BECAUSE THEY FUCKING WORK.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

More of this please! We scientists need to be communicating to the general public that science cuts are going to make us less informed, less safe and people will needlessly DIE.
BREAKING: John Morales just went on air in South Florida and told the truth: hurricane forecasting models are underfunded and outdated.
Translation:
The U.S. government cut the budget so deep, even seasoned meteorologists can’t track deadly storms.
You’re not safe.
And they do. Not. Care.
