This article (and, I suspect, the quoted researchers) conflate "consciousness" with "brain activity we can measure with this one test," which is an insane leap. And apparently non-human animals aren't conscious—unless they're implanted with human cells. I can't wait for this ignorant hubris to fall

“No warrants are shown, as far as we can tell there’s no legal ground for them to come onto private property. It seems like they’re pushing through the construction process quickly and will deal with the law later,” said Rachel, a land defender who spoke with UR about the raids.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.
