An acquaintance keeps asking me "why" Republicans don't value things like youth sports and arts programs, public transportation, etc. and it's getting really annoying.

U.S. Department of Justice recently cut over $800 million in grants nationwide, including $1.5 million for the hoops league and anti-violence program here. Others in Philly are affected, too.

GOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial. A combination vaccine would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against COVID and influenza at the same time. 🧪🧵⬇️

The bus driver flat out refused to let a man on the bus. Wouldn't open the door for him, he chased the bus for a whole block and he STILL wouldn't let him on.

Lightning bugs are cool obviously, owing to the fact that they have captured lightning in their butts and all, but did you ALSO know that when they look at you, they look like this?

a lightning bug stands on a stick/stem thing, which is red, looking at the camera directly, which is funny looking, because their eyes are SO big. Most of its body is out of focus.

I never want to hear the phrase 'unify the country' ever again. Based on their policies and their voter demographics, Democrats *are* the party of the working class. We are not obligated to prove our virtue and authenticity to the psychos ruining the economy and disappearing people off the streets.

I'm always fascinated by the idea that giving young children participation trophies has caused massive, generational brain rot for 30+ years. Does a 2nd or 3rd place trophy stop people from wanting first place? Not usually!

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.
