This poor child, this poor mom. This is just evil.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

we have PrEP because of these monkey studies. animal welfare in medical research is extremely strictly limited and regulated to ensure ethical use. there is no replacement for these animal models in biomedical research.
EXCLUSIVE: CDC to end all monkey studies. Decision handed down by recent college grad and former DOGE employee who is now deputy chief of staff at the agency. Animals were being used in studies of HIV prevention. Some may be euthanized. My latest for @science.org

Studies related to HIV and other infectious diseases will be phased out, sources say; fate of the agency's animals remains unclear

Congratulations to the American Medical Association for inviting known grifter extraordinaire, Dr. Oz, to spew anti-scientific, American Lysenkoism bullshit that is going to get people killed.

To summarize his message: he basically gave physicians an ultimatum. This admin wants to advance MAHA & technology & cut whatever they can cut. Physicians need to embrace the changes including cuts. Or "You [physicians] are the easiest person to cut."

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
