The entire point of the colonizer narrative being forced onto Jews is to deny our indigeneity to Israel and ultimately to justify our murders.

The goal of this rule change is to make grant review impact and percentile scores opaque, so that political interference with grant funding decisions by Trump apparatchiks is harder to detect or document. I submitted my comment in opposition last night. You should submit yours today.

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

This is pretzel logic only Trump’s team could come up with. We’ve got war with a lower approval rate than prostate cancer and recent credible stories about how we completely failed our injured warriors? What if we re-ignited it BEFORE people vote? Brilliant. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

New whistleblower complaint: The Trump admin pushed the FBI to investigate Los Angeles protesters in violation of their constitutional rights and the bureau's policies, a former FBI supervisor alleges in a new whistleblower complaint.

FBI whistleblower says White House pushed unconstitutional probe of protesters

The former analyst says supervisors were told not to put things in writing, so many of the directives came in face-to-face meetings.

We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger. Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline. The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.

What is the IceCube neutrino observatory? Neutrinos are elusive particles that rarely interact, but can create flashes of light when they do. Most neutrino detectors are giant water tanks surrounded by light detectors. IceCube is kilometer-long strings of detectors embedded in the Antarctic ice.

As a former environmental reporter — and having interned as such at WW — this piece is really shoddy. Its main point is functionally DARVO: In fact, taxpayers are subsidizing legally indefensible activities by the government. Which we know because the enviros win in court. 1/2
