These monkeys will be euthanized, and if it's at whatever time RFK wants, it will be for literally nothing.
Approximately 200. At that scale full necropsies might not even be deemed possible. So much science down the drain.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.
Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

You've gotta be a special kind of messed up to name your cruel plot after a children's book that's about:
- rooting for the underdog
- saving a life
- a redemption arc
But if cruelty is the point, then maybe the plot is an acceptable casualty, siiiigh.

It's super infuriating to say "look at this literature REVIEW that says giving money/food/healthcare to people is good" and then have it shot down with some sort of moralizing of "nuh uh they did bad things, they need to do the time"

I have the frustration with medical misinformation that I do because I spent my early childhood in a country with an emerging economy and disparate standards of living.
That's partially why I also temper it with a "Glad your material conditions have allowed you to forget the dire times."

NEW: The Trump admin just ended the practice of automatically extending work permits when people file to renew them — meaning that if USCIS takes too long to process a renewal the applicant loses their authorization to work legally.
The interim final rule applies to renewals filed after tomorrow.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY: Removal of the Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documents AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ACTION: Interim final rule (“IFR”) with request for comments. ______________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: This IFR amends DHS regulations to end the practice of automatically extending the validity of employment authorization documents (Forms I-766 or EADs) for aliens who have timely filed an application to renew their EAD in certain employment authorization categories. The purpose of this change is to prioritize the proper vetting and screening of aliens before granting a new period of employment authorization and/or a new EAD. This IFR does not impact the validity of EADs that were automatically extended prior to [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER] or which are otherwise automatically extended by law or Federal Register notice.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreicxgrb4jgjk3455qn4mjcjyz24ysxwf3ri2j5gzlqe4uuq67m746a@jpeg)
