NEW: ICE abducted a father in Shoreline in front of his young son. Here's a chilling, firsthand account from the man who drove his car away from the scene, the abducted man's packed lunch still warm in the passenger seat

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Renee Nicole Good did nothing wrong. ICE killed her for nothing.

#1 Neither agent that approached her car showed her any ID as they were wearing ski masks and trying to open the door to her vehicle.

#2 She clearly never hit any officer with her vehicle, even though Trump wants you to believe otherwise.

#3 The wheel on the vehicle was turned as soon as it started moving forward, meaning that Good was trying to avoid hitting the other officer.

#4 Anyone who thinks that a woman driving a car as a mask unidentified man tries to break in, is going to be looking forward instead of directly at the perpetrator, you are crazy.

#5 One shot went through the very right side of the front windshield while the two other shots went in through the side of the vehicle after the vehicle was absolutely no threat to the officers.

I’m so excited to defend my dissertation work this Friday 12/12 at 11 am!

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.

If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

[layla, lmsw @itslaylas]

they are systematically hunting down every Palestinian student at columbia. for all the hysteria we see about student safety, it is Palestinian students who are not safe. we are not safe in the West Bank or in Gaza or in the United States.

Read Mahmoud Khalil's statement from detention, just published. This is America:

Trump NIH has cancelled a young scientist’s research on uterine fibroids—afflicting 75-80% of all women of reproductive age—because of… Trump’s beef against Columbia University allowing protestors calling for peace in Gaza. The scientist was not involved in any way.

This is happening around the country, check out and participate!

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

I was proud to join @UAW4121's Hands Off Our Healthcare, Research & Jobs rally on Wednesday.

Trump’s attempt to cut NIH funding is an authoritarian power grab that will halt lifesaving research.

We won’t allow it. We'll fight back every step of the way. https://t.co/8Xzge7ozKM

Fred Huch Cancer Center told staff on Thursday that it will dismantle its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to comply with President Donald Trump’s anti-DEI executive order, according to an email obtained by The Stranger.

BREAKING:

Israel is now bombing Syria’s capital city of Damascus.

At the same time, Israel continues pounding Lebanon and the West Bank.

No sanctions. No condemnations. No consequences. Just silence and complicity.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Trump has ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

“The impact of [Trump’s] collective executive orders appears devastating,” one senior NIH employee says.

[aster 🌼 @themermacorn]

It is Christmas day and the birthplace of Christ has been bombed continuously for 14 months. As you prepare to gather with your families, please take time to send some funds to Palestinians trying to survive genocide.

@BeckerLabCRTD @WillsLabFroggos Anecdotally we also see upregulation of the TF code- it’s unclear if this is necessary for repatterning, or is important for driving neurogenesis!

[Avery Angell Swearer @SwearerAvery]

@BeckerLabCRTD @WillsLabFroggos Yes! It seems like Shh has many temporally distinct roles in regeneration- your work specifically seems aligned with Hamilton et al., 2021, who showed that canonical Shh is repressed immediately after amputation potentially and instead non-canonical signaling drives proliferation

[Avery Angell Swearer @SwearerAvery]

@BeckerLabCRTD @WillsLabFroggos I think it’s possible that Shh plays an early role (potentially driven by dopamine signaling!?) in regeneration to drive proliferation, then later drives canonical patterning of NPCS!
