Everyone, please comment on the importance of animals in biomedical research!! fda.gov/news-events/fd…
Using Bible verses to justify violence against immigrants is not only the opposite of what Jesus teaches, it’s also a direct contradiction to the passage cited in this video. “Here am I, send me” was the prophet Isaiah’s response after being called by God to deliver a message to…
Here am I, send me. 🇺🇸
The New York establishment is running scared. Despite spending millions against him, Zohran was ahead in the last poll. If New Yorkers come out in good numbers today, @ZohranKMamdani can become New York City’s next mayor. Let’s make it happen. Please vote.
Rewatched Terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about AI leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.
On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.
The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
Because media decided to sweep an assassinated Democratically elected lawmaker under the rug, I will post this.
Anyone who says “this isn’t what I voted for” was simply not paying attention.

Ron was best man at a gay wedding you dumb fuck. #HappyPride

We’re celebrating 5 years of building a global movement for Black neuroscientists — and we need your support to keep it going. 🧠💛
@BevilConway (NIH) and @NeuralCodeUMD (UMD) are seeking a brilliant postdoc to study high-acuity vision combining large-scale electrophys and deep computational modeling. Prior experience (broadly speaking) is recommended: email Dan Butts with CV and brief research statement.
Thank you, Kathy @TheCullenLab, for the clarity and leadership. hub.jhu.edu/2025/04/29/kat…
"what we owe the present: fewer prophets and more poets, fewer technocrats and more dancers, less Silicon Valley and more Monty Python. (...) is time to make humanity humane again, so that the values that guide our actions sing a love letter to our granddaughters."
The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books. The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development. These aren’t ‘woke donations.’…
This guy was just arrested by ICE gestapo. Listen to his own words about fighting antisemitism.
“The fight for freedom of Palestine and the fight against antisemitism go hand-in-hand because injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” says Mohsen Mahdawi, co-president of Columbia's Palestinian Students Union. cbsn.ws/3Rwk7qK
If you're an elected Democrat and you don't speak out about Trump's proposal to jail American citizens in a foreign torture dungeon for life, what are you even doing in public office? Why have the job?
This is such a mistake - these alternative ways of testing aren't good enough "models" to evaluate new drugs. People will suffer and die because of this. I never thought that I wouldn't be able rely on the US FDA for safety and effectiveness. What a sad era ...
Today, the FDA is taking a groundbreaking step to advance public health by replacing animal testing in the development of monoclonal antibody therapies and other drugs with more effective, human-relevant methods. fda.gov/news-events/pr…
