Chicagoland friends, I have a favor to ask. I have a pro bono client, a Black woman, who is currently facing charges for allegedly pointing a gun at her abusive ex - who admitted to raping her. I would love if there could be a show of support for her at her next few court dates.

It is shockingly common for child welfare agencies to remove children from parents because they can't afford housing. Billing them for the foster care really is just beyond the pale. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“Nobody Blames the Landlord. They Just Take Away the Kids.”

All too often, when parents can’t afford safe housing, the solution child welfare services offer is putting their children in foster care.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

Last night’s Harvest Moon over Seattle. The clouds made it feel even more dramatic as it rose above the Space Needle and the Cascades. Also called the Corn Moon, this is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox.

It really is worth remembering just last year the conventional wisdom on immigration was that people supported mass deportation to such a degree people should be cautious in opposing the Trump administration snatching people and sending them to CECOT.

“It’s possible, even likely, that one or more of the other explanations for longCovid’s pathology is … viral persistence leading to immune dysfunction, for example, which then prompts inflammation or interferes with mitochondria & causes cellular damage.” it’s hubris to think it won’t happen to you

Perhaps surprisingly, Peluso was initially skeptical that viral persistence could be a key characteristic of long Covid. "We're really trained to conceive of most pathogens as transient, especially RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2," he told me. But when Peluso and his colleagues began analyzing tissue from LIINC participants, they were stunned to find the virus's RNA in the tissue of people with long Covid who were months or even years past their initial infection. "It was only when we started to see it in our own program that I began to realize that the truth might be more complicated than what the textbook said," he recalled.
"When you're looking at that slide in front of you, it's quite remarkable."

Some people treat "Trans" as a singular issue. And "ICE" as another. And "global warming" as another. All of them completely unrelated and separateand in vacuum. And it's blatantly obvious that they think that doing juuuust enough of these, but not too many cos they wanna minimax, is the smart move
