Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Dutton is promising 19 cents a day energy savings on a " who knows when timeline" through a mechanism that is probably unconstitutional.

Yes, Fox News, I have definitely texted the wrong person before. In fact, I've done it numerous times. The difference here is that my erroneous texts revolved around lunch details or sending an article to a friend -- not outlining attack plans that put our troops in grave danger. Hope this helps.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.
Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.
Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.
