First Indigenous Peoples Day where I can say: If you are not fully aware of how the US government has terrorized Indigenous people and our children from its inception, read my book.

Today on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, @voffund.bsky.social rejects the legacy of colonizer, rapist, & murderer Christopher Columbus. We honor the true history, resilience, & rich cultures of indigenous communities. May we continue to learn, respect, & uplift native voices. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

They stoke fear and fabricate crisis so that the people become desperate and easy to control. Notice what the comment sections look like today. And notice when the bots start to come back online because Yandex is already recovering.

Propaganda is one of the sharpest authoritarian tools, and bots are able to spread it like wildfire. Misinformation and propaganda are what have fueled the MAGA movement and created deep divides in American communities. Authoritarians thrive on division.

It is rumored that these housed bot farms, and we’re seeing evidence of that in comment sections all over large social platforms, especially Meta apps and Twitter. Elon Musk even said Zelenskyy went too far. If Elon Musk is pissed, something good likely happened.

This is another attempt by Trump to undermine our democracy by weaponizing the federal government against political opponents. No president should be able to abuse their power to intimidate elected officials or silence dissent. We stand with Rep. Omar.

Deploying federal law enforcement against a sitting Member of Congress just weeks before an election is an abuse of power designed to punish critics, sow fear, and inflame racial divisions ahead of the midterms. We cannot ignore the timing of this attack.

The study has been published in Nature Cancer. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.nature.com/articles/s43... 🧪🧵⬇️
Key Takeaways
• An adjuvant personalized DNA vaccine caused no serious adverse events and extended overall survival in nine patients in a phase I study compared with historical outcomes.
• Median overall survival was 16.3 months and the survival rate at 24 months was 33%, including one long-term survivor who was still alive 4 years from the time of initial surgery.
•Only about 10% to 15% of patients with this type of brain cancer survive up to 2 years.Abstract
Glioblastoma is a fatal disease with a median prognosis of 12-18 months. Recent studies have shown encouraging results using neoantigen-based vaccines to stimulate glioblastoma-directed immune responses, but overall immunogenicity has been low.
Here, we report the results of an open-label, single-arm, phase 1 clinical trial (GT-20) to evaluate the satety and feasibility (primary endpoints) as well as immunogenicity and preliminary clinical activity (secondary endpoints) of GNOS-PV01 monotherapy, a DNA-based personalized therapeutic cancer vaccine administered following surgical resection and radiation for patients with MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma.
The GT-20 study vaccinated nine patients, using up to 40 neoantigens per patient (range, 17-40) without causing any serious adverse events, unexpected toxicities or dose-limiting toxicities.
The vaccine induced activation and expansion of circulating peripheral T cells in all evaluated patients, except one who was being treated with dexamethasone.
The secondary endpoint was to evaluate 6 month progression-free survival and 12 month overall survival; each observed in 66.7% of patients. Median progression-free survival was 8.5 months, median overall survival was 16.3 months and survival at 24 months was 33%, including one long-term survivor still alive 4 years from the time of initial surgery.
This study met the pre-specified endpoints and supports the use of GNOS-PV01 as a potentially impactful component of glioblastoma immunotherapy.

The vaccine caused NO serious side effects AND prolonged patients’ overall survival compared to historical outcomes after standard-of-care surgery and chemo-radiotherapy. One long-term survivor remains recurrence-FREE nearly FIVE YEARS LATER. • www.insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/oncol...

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results show a first-of-its-kind personalized vaccine designed to treat glioblastoma, a deadly and aggressive form of brain cancer, is safe AND elicits robust and broad immune responses that appears to INCREASE recurrence-free survival in patients after surgery.
