The GOP has been gerrymandering the fuck out of the south for decades. It's long past time Dems stopped playing fair about this shit. And if Republicans want to cry about it, point em at every other state that seceded in 1860 where their fucked up maps still rule.
sucks that it’s come to this, but if congressional Republicans wanted to put up a national gerrymandering ban or multi member districts etc, it would pass *for sure*. until then fight fire with fire
I appreciate this example because it’s a good reminder that much of how we got here is just spite and very little thought.
it's not so much how hegseth or kennedy jr. haven't been impeached yet but how they haven't been wrestled to the ground and taken away for everyone's safety
A federal judge has issued a blistering 49-page written opinion vacating the Kennedy Declaration, that threatened to revoke all federal funding, including Medicare and Medicaid, from any hospital that offered gender-affirming care for transgender youth, a virtual death sentence for any hospital.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
I am hiring a popgen postdoc!

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

is the 'dangerously capable AI' in the room with us right now?
All the grifters running the 'if anyone builds it we all die' track deserve the same end as the original AI grifters.
Oh well, we’re safe from robots taking our jobs for now.
Over the past week, the president posted an image of himself as Jesus, the vice president challenged the pope on Catholic doctrine, and the secretary of defense quoted the speech of a fictional hit man and presented it as scripture.
What does it take to truly understand #cancer in all of its complexity?
Delighted to share our Review in Cell "Cancer ecosystems: A dynamic interplay across scales" with Daniela Quail, where we propose a multi-scale framework connecting tumor ecology with physiology 🧪⚕️

Someone has never seen a guillotine.
I very much appreciate the time and space to discuss but worth noting that the RTO plan is already sucking down productivity and it hasn’t even happened yet.
We got a return to office three days a week mandate from on high with no clear objectives except “water cooler interactions.”
I am much more productive at home. Everyone I know says the same.
We just spent an hour long data science meeting discussing RTO.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds over 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 institutions across all 50 U.S. states, supporting roughly 390,863 jobs and driving $94
billion in economic activity. I am one of them and am thankful to all who pay the taxes that support this enterprise 🧪
Marked increase in time to find a new job and by that indicator we’ve been in bad shape for some time now.
Now we’re getting hail in Seattle.
Seattle just had the biggest thunder I have ever heard in my life.
I am unsure but I thought I heard recently that the TDAP is now recommended every 5 years for the pertussis? Have you heard anything about that?
As American's file taxes on #TaxDay, I am one of those who benefits. #NIH has funded our lab's discovery based research for 34 years. We contributed to understanding how cells chose fate & shape tissues and organs, & work in our field gave insights into colorectal cancer and cancer metastasis 1/n
In a new study, the HPV vaccine resulted in a 46% reduction in HPV-related cancers in vaccinated males. Including head and neck, esophageal, anal, and penile cancers. Vaccinate your boys and girls against HPV.
The vaccine prevents cancer.

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy
A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M.
Do you see how this works?
The soulless, sociopathic orange cunt stands in his suit looking bored and devoid of intelligent thought whilst an Oval Office guest is collapsed on the ground behind him. Fellow guests, able to demonstrate more compassion than the pedo protector has ever mustered in his entire miserable existence, are helping the collapsed man. The photo captures the insipid, disdain Trump holds for any other human being not permanently kissing his fat, wrinkly ass. At least today is one day closer to his death.
Congratulations to photographer Andrew Harnik who has won the White House Correspondents’ Association award for presidential news coverage with one of the greatest Oval Office photos ever captured.
