HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has expressed deep concern over the health of American children, describing them as the "sickest generation" in US history.
100 years ago, 1 in 3 kids died before reaching the age of 5.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

I'm going to tell you something the government won't (and I can't believe I'm the one saying this): coronavirus damages the placenta. Women who are infected experience double the baseline rate of stillbirths.

I’ll just add that the optics of a Black mayor in a blue state in the northeast being forcibly detained are very appealing to Trump’s hard-core, racist base. They get off on that kind of thing. It makes them feel powerful by association.
Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Absolutely crazy that what the Democratic establishment took from the last 3 elections is that material conditions and economic populism have no appeal if they're coming from a leftist candidate

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy
Harvard & others must counter this quickly
The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

#neuroskyence meets #ornithology today. This is a sagittal section through the brain of a hummingbird (Glaucis hirsutus) from our collection. The cauliflower-looking bit is its enlarged cerebellum, which is important for motor coordination (and other things).

Shameful that universities are proactively caving to the regime. Complete complicity, and it's not even going to matter. The regime is still going to attack universities no matter how much capitulation they receive

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.
