A toast to the Scottish poet Robbie Burns.
They never managed to silence him!

Amid the news saddening the world, a photo of the moon🌙 over an ancient castle and the words of a poet:
'She shines sae bright to wyle us hame, But she'll wait a wee.' 🔭
Translated for all of us: the light calls us home, but it’s in no rush—we can take our time, share a thought, a virtual smile. 🧪
"It is the moon, I ken her horn,
That's blinkin' in the lift sae hie;
She shines sae bright to wyle us hame,
But, by my sooth, she'll wait a wee!"

Lots of despair & sadness watching the 🇺🇸news today.
I'm hoping Burns can lift your spirit today.

As a someone with a 33 year NIH-funded lab whose grant is supposed to be reviewed this week, shut NIH down if that is what's needed to end ICE terrorism. Innocent lives are more important 🧪
The Senate may choose to vote together on the DHS and LHHS bills. Thus, a filibuster on DHS may mean no funding for NIH. What my colleagues are saying:

“Shut it down, public health will understand. I’ll work without pay again.”

@biotay.bsky.social and @auersperga.bsky.social report that Veronika, a companion cow, uses a broom to alleviate itching. This clever cow demonstrates flexible tool use by adjusting her scratching technique in a targeted manner! 🧪

According to Kristi Noem, Trump & his whole administration, including herself, fit the definition of domestic terrorists.

The Irish Government is determined to implement a fundamental shift in our foreign and defence policy by scrapping the Triple Lock. There are no two ways about it — this would abandon Irish neutrality in all but name.

Not gonna lie, living here in WA that has so many deep ties with Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and Boeing makes me think that we as a state need to collectively reckon with our labor propping up such pillars of unchecked power and greed.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.

This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Iran was threatened for killing protesters. After two killings in America, is it ok for Iran to now threaten America for killing protesters?

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

No more funding for ICE. Period, full stop. This cannot be allowed to go on.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no
