Big winners at the Democrats’ national meeting: Israel and AIPAC - Salon.com Democratic leaders side with Israel again, over the wishes of their own voters

as usual, the DNC leadership does not represent Democratic voters:

"Three-quarters of Democratic voters agree that “Israel is committing genocide,” and a large majority are more sympathetic to Palestinians than to Israelis, by a four-to-one margin."

I can't even imagine how that feels - hope you can get through to the next administration

the PI I work for has been continuously funded by NIH for nearly 40 years, but she is now talking about retirement given the state of NIH funding - if she retires, I'm SOL - few labs can afford a dedicated writer/editor/doer of many things

the U.S. economy is a shitshow for anyone who is not wealthy - the stock market is not representative of the economy we all live with

when Boebert actually makes sense, we must be living in the upsidedown

your boss is a convicted sex offender and known pedophile who has been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women - sit down and STFU

your cult leader is a convicted sex offender and known pedophile, you need to sit down and STFU

April 14, 2026 children are playing catch in the street this morning before the sun’s first light a golden retriever runs back and forth, chasing a ball it will never catch I stand in the doorway watching the game proceed and enjoying the cool air the world is so upside down… but for a little while, before the sun rises, there is play ~ William Harryman

a quiet little poem arrived just now
#poetry #poem #NationalPoetryMonth

the picture contains the text of the title, authors, and Abstract for a paper on kindlin-2 function under hypoxic conditions in a prostate cancer cell line

our new paper has been accepted by @biophysj.bsky.social - thanks to the reviewers (especially the dreaded Reviewer 3) and the editors for helping us improve the paper

there is a HUGE difference between a "madman theory of negotiating" and actually being stark raving mad - trump is stark raving mad, with dementia

your post talks about trump as if he is a politician failing at his job - but he is not - he is malignant narcissist sociopath with frontotemporal dementia who seems to have developed a literal messiah complex on top of the whole mess - he needs to be treated as a demented sociopath, nothing else

when he is finally gone, we might need to just level parts of D.C. and rebuild in order to remove his self-aggrandizement

some relief from the daily shitstorm of stupidity

our own intelligence agencies confirmed that Iran was NOT close to having any nuclear weapons, they were years away under the best circumstances - Dems need to push back against these lies every time the magats bring them up

Israel (and this has nothing to do with Judaism) is committing genocide and must be condemned, isolated, and held accountable for doing so - fetterman is an idiot on his best days

he illegally kept files at the end of his first term, now he wants to nullify the law that requires presidential records to be kept by the federal govt - in his feeble little brain, everything he wants should belong to him - pure malignant narcissism

"may not be fit"? he was NEVER fit to be president, and it was painfully obvious on day 1 when he came down that escalator

so he feels liberated to be an ignorant asshole? what a shit weasel

beautifully eerie

only thing missing is a cigarette hanging out of its beak and it would look exactly like my Aunt Betty did about 50 years ago

how about oil companies pay for the dumbass war, they're the only people benefiting from this stupidity - or make the Saudis and Israelis pay, they pushed gullible trump into the war

the only upside of this fascist regime is that they are so stupid that they are inept at installing their fascist policies

Breath Can you breathe? Mind was an afterthought. Hummingbirds chirped and chased each other guarding white saguaro flowers. Time stopped and danced a silent pirouette. As a child, I imagined the grill of the confessional as a window behind which god sat naked and bored. I made up elaborate sins to entertain her. She never smiled. Can you breathe? Self requires motion. The room was quiet but for the breathing of lovers having exhausted their need. Crows gathered in the oak tree to gossip. When I imagined death I became a raven. A hungry candle devoured my sister. Time installed in me a soul, said the priest, but I preferred to wonder in dark forests. Can you breathe? Everything sounds like something she said to me in college. Memory is a basement flooded by rain, I used to pretend I knew how to be a man. The wound on my chest has never healed. I wanted to be Orpheus, but I am Cassandra. The weight of a soul is deadening, a heaviness on my ribs, stifling my ability to breathe. William Harryman, 3.31.26

a new poem showed up today

Charles is the bestest

it probably has tracking and monitoring capabilities, so that the fascists will always know where you are and what you are typing in social media

The Dismantling of Environmental Protections — A Grave Threat to America’s Health | NEJM The Trump administration’s wide-ranging actions to dismantle U.S. environmental regulations will cause long-lasting health harms, disproportionately affecting low-income and other vulnerable groups.

from The New England Journal of Medicine, this is a horror show of deregulation that will kill tens of thousands of Americans in the coming years

there is nothing Christian about these fascist shit weasels
