@casciencecenter With the fire/wind conditions, are you open today (Jan 8)? I saw that the neighboring natural history museum is closed today

@repkamlagerdove Let's honor humanitarian values by protecting and aiding refugees. I urge you to oppose H.R. 8771 and save Palestine refugee lives in Gaza and across the Middle East by reinstating US government funding for @UNRWA.

A brief summary of U.S. Israel-Palestine policy this month, as the Gaza death toll stretches beyond 21,000.

This includes multiple isolating votes against overwhelmingly-supported UN resolutions, and, as of today, twice sending Israel weapons without congressional approval:

[We Testify @AbortionStories]

The laws and the courts don’t keep us safe; we do. No matter the ruling in this case, we will always support each other to have caring, supportive, and safe abortions. Mifepristone and misoprostol are here to stay.

Many Americans may not realize that “a meaningful fraction of homicides in the US are police killings.”

Officers killed at least 1,192 people in 2022.

That's higher than the number of Americans killed in mass shootings:

Shooting uncovers 'plantation mentality’ in a rich, liberal California enclave https://t.co/jSpuVrakix

There’s nothing any politician in that room could say that can bring an air of transformative grace to Tyre Nichol’s brutal murder by a gang of Memphis police officers. Standing to applaud cops right after his parents had to stand in that musty room. Gross.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

THE COPS WHO KILLED TYRE NICHOLS RECEIVED ELITE TRAINING SO GET OUT OF MY FACE WITH MORE TRAINING, COPAGANDA BULLCRAP.

It’s crazy to me that very little people know about this iconic queer Indian heiress who subverted the Nazis and helped Jewish families escape using her wealth & influence. Her name is Princess Catharine Hilda Duleep Singh, and this is her story

Researchers just found that gas stoves are responsible for 12.7% of childhood asthma cases.

Recently I read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality.

I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests.

Here's what I learned.

[NEJM @NEJM]

Ventricular fibrillation and sudden death triggered by a blunt, nonpenetrating, and often innocent-appearing blow to the chest without damage to the ribs, sternum, or heart (and in the absence of underlying cardiovascular disease) constitute an event known as commotio cordis. 1/9

We're launching a study that aims to reduce the risk of #COVID19 for #immunocompromised individuals.

We hypothesize that detecting and treating COVID quickly can improve outcomes.

The study is completely remote and available across the US at: https://t.co/481AxUwpwq

A man born in Madrid to Moroccan parents, who chose to represent Morocco instead of Spain, steps up in the biggest moment of his life and chips a penalty down the middle of the goal to win the game and beat the country of his birth. There is nothing like the World Cup. Nothing.

*FREE RIDES TO POLLS/VOTE* - I made this spreadsheet with free rides to polls in almost every state including transit companies and private companies/non-profits offering rides! I also included early voting information! https://t.co/1bkxInxyLd

This is big news that isn't being reported widely enough: The Supreme Court has ruled that the TSA can issue mask mandates on planes, trains and other forms of transport.
