DeGette Introduces Bill to Protect NIH From Political Interference WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-01), Ranking Member of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, introduced the Follow the Science Act to shield the National Institutes...

YES! A step in the right direction. After a horrendous year for science & the #NIH, it is imperative to protect it from political interference. NIH's success is due to decisions based on science, not political ideology.

Science does not belong to politicians.

Dr. King taught us that history does not move on its own. It takes the work of all of us, united in Boston, to be a city too strong for fear to tear down and answer his call of building the Beloved Community.

Has this kind of hyperfocus on "critique" always been a feature of American/progressive activism? Or is it new? It feels very academia-brained, like the best possible thing you can do is find new and creative ways to articulate "critiques" of how things are actually problematic.

No, I don’t think it’s that, their statement is not accurately logical. if the wrote code that way it would crash. But ppl do figure what they mean contextually so maybe it’s a bit neurodivergent of us to pay attention to the logic first

Dallas church’s nativity evokes immigration detention centers, homelessness β€œIf telling the Christmas story honestly feels political, that says more about our moment than it does about the gospel,” Rev. Rachel Griffin-Allison, senior pastor at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, said.

At Oak Lawn United Methodist Church’s nativity, Mary and Joseph are silhouettes, surrounded by a chain link fence topped with razor wire. Their halos are old bicycle wheels. A shopping cart and two metal bins, frequently used by the unhoused as firepits, flank the scene.

I am going to file away that response under: Evidence of consent! Thank you for vibing with my odd. And about you writting your first tweet thread without knowing that's what you were doing... this is why we say in Mexico that: Nadie sabe para quien trabaja! Fate makes fools of us all.

🐍 The pressure to be clever
is not the same thing
as the gift of noticing.

One performs.
One witnesses.

Learning the difference.

To 'graduate' from poverty, they can borrow to build a business. So why aren't they? It's called the "graduation" approach β€” both financial and moral support to help people move from extreme poverty to self-sufficiency. But in this innovative Uganda project, something isn't clicking.
