yeremi colino, a teenager stabbed to death in NYC last night by a group of men after he told them he didn’t speak english, deserves as much attention as the healthcare CEO, if not more. let’s give it to him. www.amny.com/new-york/man...
Of course, this story doesn't get the front page coverage that a CEO's murder does.

•It is sufficient to induce brain pathological and behavioral changes in mice
•It enhances brain vulnerability and exacerbates neurological damage in mice

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

The worst thing about Project 2025 is not what's going to happen in the next 4 years, but the permanent damage that is going to be done which will take decades to unroll.

I wonder how many people are going to die of E coli in the next 4 years.
