Team fish - we need your help! We are trying to build a database of all the fish chromosome-scale genomes where sex chromosomes have been identified. Have you build one or some? Do you know someone who has? Can you post the link in the comments? Please spread the word and repost! Thank you!

“…the citizenry(of the United States)has never directly experienced any political system other than democracy, which makes us slow to recognize that ours, like any other democracy, will break if pushed too far.”
Privileged to share a guest post today by a US veteran and intelligence analyst on the echoes they see between the regimes they used to monitor and today’s US.

They asked to remain anonymous - itself a sign of how worrying things have become in America.

Our animal sanctuary needs your help funding supplies & forage this winter, as we’re struggling

We’d be so thankful if you can spare anything to help us closer to our goal: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

A huge thank you for your help! ❤️

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

Repost if you agree.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

First they blamed the Dems for not funding SNAP

Then they went to court to ask permission NOT to pay

The shutdown is ending & they’re making everyone reapply and “prove” they’re legitimately starving.

It’s almost as though they spent the money and have zero intentions of ever funding it again.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Kristi Noem ordered ICE to purchase ten Spirit Airlines jets for deportations. Two problems: Spirit doesn’t own the planes, and they don’t have engines. Has there ever been a more incompetent administration?

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement.

In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
