HOWEVER, I have serious concerns about the speculation, based on polygenic risk score analysis about any pronouncement of psychiatric disorders. This technique is not part of diagnosis, nor can it be.

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained.

As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.

NEW from American victim’s family:
“…our beloved Sayfollah Musallet (nicknamed Saif) was brutally beaten to death by Israeli settlers while he was protecting his family’s land…”

They surrounded him for 3+ hours, blocking medics from him.

He died before getting to the hospital.

He was only 20.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs.
Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law.
Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more.
And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.
🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition.

This may force thousands to drop out.
Texas agrees with feds to end in-state tuition for undocumented students
Almost 20,000 undocumented college students in Texas will likely lose in-state tuition after this sudden policy reversal.

The groups who attack Palestinians, trans people, and immigrants are also those who attack science. They feel no obligation to hold their views to academic standards of evidence or coherence.

If you work on a university campus you have a duty to know this and respond accordingly.
