I’ve gotten a little numb too a lot because there is just so much but this broke me. This showcases the worst of humanity. What is wrong with people? Take power where you can do something to protect the vulnerable among us.

And between college campuses. Students talk to their high school friends at other campuses. When they move on to grad school, they warn each other about predators in the incoming grad class from their undergrad.

I appreciate they are not plastering the faces of the protesters everywhere because this administration has gone after individual student protesters hard and this may be one of the only acceptably uses of AI images.

Do the people behind Trump at the Nebraska rally understand they are cut from the same cloth as the ghouls that stood behind Hitler? www.c-span.org/program/camp...

NEW: During a rally just now, Trump invited Iran to “take out Los Angeles and San Diego,” saying it would be a “small price to pay.”

The US does not have a corner on racism, and there’s quite a bit of discrimination in Russia. That’s sad, it’s important to note that the Gulag of yesteryear are not quite gone, just called corrective labor colonies (ispravitelnaya koloniya) now.

No. They still have active gulags and sentence people to decades in Siberian work camps for minor discretions, per Russia. They bombed a theater full of children, rebuilt it on the dead, and posted on their own channels as the danced in the new building on top of the dead. It’s not all propaganda.

Learn about Navalny beyond the propaganda documentary and book. There are ethical reasons Ukraine’s First Lady declined to attend a US presidential event (they wanted her seated next to Navalnya for a photo op). And why Andriy Khylvnyuk declined to share the Magnitsky award with her. Serious concern

Sciencematters @totoroandscience.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Navalny was anti Putin, but the reality of who he was is far from the whitewashed version we got in the US. He regularly attended the Nazi Russian March, co-organizing it in 2011. He dehumanized immigrants and advocated killing them. There’s reasons 🇺🇦 and other former USSR regions did not back him.

If you think they are comparable, you have not been paying attention. You might notice if you rewatch the video that they only took the young men. And most likelihood, these young men will be sent to the frontline in Ukraine as punishment. People do not understand what Russia is like.

What’s happening in the US is bad, but your comment suggests you haven’t followed anything that happens in Russia. What these protesters are risking is makes the US pale in comparison.

Elemental phosphorus is primarily mined in Soda Springs, Idaho at a Monsanto-Bayer plant that produces not only glyphosate to contaminate our food/water, but also supposedly supplies the US/Israeli military with it for white phosphorus (illegal under international laws about war).

It’s not your service animal so I don’t know why it would be in your room. Miniature horses are phenomenal because they’re bright, calm, easy to train, sturdy, and live for decades. Since they’re typically 70 to 100 pounds, they aren’t much different in size than many service dogs.

Sciencematters @totoroandscience.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

One of the hospitals where I trained had semiregular miniature horse service animals for people with low vision. I had no idea it wasn’t just dogs until my supervisor reviewed the law in one of our trainings.

Sciencematters @totoroandscience.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

In the US, service animals are allowed in hospitals. Therapy animals may also visit with those who want (where I worked had dogs and alpacas). But the only two animals that can be service animals in the US are dogs and miniature horses so those are the only ones you will see as service animals.

Sciencematters @totoroandscience.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Also, the dog has to be under her control. Service animals are a whole different ballgame than therapy animals. They are trained professionals.

In fairness, when there is strain on the brain from something like past stroke, people have a hard time filtering loud noises. I think hopecore about it being dementia is a bit much though because this man is still timing statements every week to manipulate the market and line his pockets pockets.

Sciencematters @totoroandscience.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Ditto for stroke recovery. He’s with it enough to time his remarks every week to manipulate the market and line his own pockets. We probably should stop with the dementia hopecore because it gives a false impression we can just wait this out.

Sciencematters @totoroandscience.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Or stroke recovery. Anything that taxes energy needed to run the brain can do this.

Sciencematters @totoroandscience.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It’s also a stroke recovery symptom. Or anything else that taxes the brain energy. We need to stop with the dementia hopecore because it gives people the false impression we can just wait it out while he manipulates markets almost every week to line his pockets and rob us.
