@curealzheimersfund.bsky.social People who have Alzheimer's disease pathology but no loss of cognition. Why? Discoveries we are making give new insights! See presentations by Isabel Castanho @isabelscst.bsky.social Pourya Naderi @pouryany.bsky.social and Giulia Pegoraro at #AAIC26 here in London.

People get Alzheimer’s disease pathology really badly in their brains and yet they don’t have cognitive loss. How? Attend these #AAIC26 presentations to see discoveries being made to answer that question. @isabelscst.bsky.social @pouryany.bsky.social

"The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit."
"The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.

Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.
The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense."

i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.
