ICE is offering $50k bonuses to retired officers to come back and kidnap & disappear people.

$50k to participate in tyranny and oppression.

$50k to hide your face and attack hard working immigrants.

This is what Medicaid and food assistance was cut for.

Remote workers are 40% more productive than those same workers in the office. And most of us spend those in-office days on Zoom ANYWAY, talking to people in other offices.

But it makes managers sad that they can't physically see their peasants toiling in the fields, so out you go!

On Italy’s Republic Day, Etna isn’t holding back 🌋🇮🇹 Activity started with mild Strombolian explosions that quickly intensified. A small lava flow made its way down the Valle del Bove. A particularly remarkable event just occurred: part of the Southeast Crater collapsed, triggering a PDC

Earlier today, Mt. Etna erupted with a pyroclastic density current (a "pyroclastic flow").

Although the volcano is one of the most active in the world, PDCs are *relatively* rare for Etna. Even a modestly sized one can be deadly because of their speed, heat, and explosivity.

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."
Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

The FDA VRBPAC, between now and May 14, is accepting comments for the upcoming vaccine committee meeting. Everyone should have access to COVID vaccines, and that it should be available twice a year.

The percentage of white men in the US pop is ~30%. Thus, as always, the complaint is that white men are not sufficiently overrepresented (as they have been throughout US history).

EVERY TIME YOU SAY IT IS ANTISEMITIC TO BE AGAINST KILLING PALESTINIANS, YOU'RE SAYING IT IS JEWISH TO MURDER

*THAT* IS THE ANTISEMITISM
STOP SUGGESTING THAT IT IS ANTISEMITIC TO BE AGAINST MURDERING CHILDREN

YOU'RE LITERALLY PROPOSING THAT IT IS A JEWISH THING TO KILL KIDS

IT'S FUCKING ANTI-SEMITIC, YOU JERKS

“The three individuals who ran that DEI office in the medical faculty — all of whom are members of racialized minorities — are being replaced by a single person who does not come from such a minority background”

Why are Canadian institutions bending a knee and complying in advance?
Exclusive: McGill closes DEI office, replaces racialized staff
Meanwhile, medical program put under probation for failed diversity targets

Make no mistake: if Poilievre and the Conservatives get in, the same anti-science anti-education anti-freedom of speech anti-LGBTQ policies that Trump has introduced in the 🇺🇸 will come to 🇨🇦. They cannot win.
