I’m sorry, come again? The silent closeout of NSF-SBE is a travesty. #nsf #nsfsbe

Congrats!! 🥳

Paige Amormino - Saving SBE starts before the bill is written. Right now, NSF SBE does not have its own separate line of funding in the FY2027 budget structure. This matters because if SBE is not specifically protected ...

Saving SBE starts before the bill is written.

SBE needs a distinct FY27 appropriation. If your sch. is on the list, get a group of colleagues to meet w your House/Sen. offices. Esp. for Republican seats, direct constituent comms matter. Timeline/templates/updates:

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

Preschooler and three other students detained by ICE, school district leader says The detentions of Columbia Heights students come after weeks of heightened concern and enforcement presence near and on Twin Cities school property.

"Liam’s teacher, Ella Sullivan, teared up when thinking about Liam. 'He’s a bright young student,' she said, 'and he’s so kind and loving. His classmates miss him.'"

This is unconstitutional lawless terror & intentional child abuse. These thugs should be prosecuted as a gang of child abusers engaged in kidnap & all other related offenses. Unthinkably evil.

New year🎊, new preprint📰

Using multimodal brain-age prediction models trained and tested on 4-wave MRI data from #ABCD, we examined how deviations in brain age align with changes in internalising and externalising symptoms across 10 waves.

Rafael Veraza, 25, said he pulled into Sam’s Club with his wife and baby on a weekend grocery run on Nov. 8 when he saw a commotion surrounding what looked to be unmarked vehicles full of immigration officers in Cicero, west of Chicago. The family decided to leave the area without shopping, he said. On his way out, he believes a passing agent mistook him for one of the protesters who have followed immigration officials throughout Chicagoland in an effort to warn residents and document their operations. Veraza’s wife happened to be filming the parking lot scene on her smartphone because they wanted to one day show their 1-year-old the turbulent times she was born in. She aimed her camera at a passing SUV and captured the moment when an officer filled the family’s vehicle with a mist of pepper spray.

Video shows the moment Rafael Veraza says federal agents shot pepper-spray into his car, where he was with his wife and 1-year-old daughter. (Video: Zoeann Murphy/The Washington Post) Veraza and his wife poured water on their crying baby’s face and rushed to the hospital. A doctor called in a poison control specialist for an expert opinion because they’d never seen such a young person pepper sprayed, Veraza said. They advised bringing the child to a specialist for follow-up visits to gauge potential long term damage to the child’s lungs and eyes. McLaughlin denied that federal agents pepper-sprayed anyone outside of Sam’s Club in a statement issued after the incident to the news media. She did not offer an explanation for what is shown in the video.

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

This year saw almost a 50 percent decrease in funded grants on mental health. This is not okay. There is a literal mental health crisis in our country & instead of funding more work on cures we are cutting the amount of work in half.

Our children will suffer from this.

The CDC website under RFK Jr. now argues that we “can’t say vaccines don’t cause autism” because studies haven’t ruled out every possible scenario.
It’s wild to see this misunderstanding of science on a federal health website, but it’s also an opportunity to explain how the scientific process works
