There's so much going on right now that it's hard to know where to focus, but please take a moment to read this @mikehalltexas story about an 18-year-old Venezuelan who was in Texas legally who ICE seized, and who is now in a Salvadoran megaprison.

If you’re revoking degrees, you better be returning tuition money. This is obscene.

A doctor in inner city Baltimore, who would sometimes accept no pay if his patient couldn't afford it, lost his health insurance right when he was diagnosed with cancer. His patients stepped up and donated funds to a GoFundMe that his patients set up, his prognosis is good.

Members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity at Southern University reportedly lied to authorities about where Caleb Wilson’s death occurred.

It took place at a warehouse in Baton Rouge when Wilson was punched in the chest and collapsed, not a park

RIP Angie Stone. founding member of early Sugarhill Records Hip-Hop group The Sequence, later a pioneer in the Neo-Soul movement in the late 90's & early 00's. An essential part of Hip-Hop and R&B history.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

[Tara Copp @TaraCopp]

.@FAANews: FAA staff fired over the weekend included personnel that worked radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance, among others. Hundreds were fired, just weeks after a fatal mid-air collision in DC killed 67. One employee said they were harassed on Facebook by @DOGE prior to being fired. https://t.co/4BXVfKtgWh

Cutting NIH indirect costs is a controversial topic, with pros and cons, but it could be a good thing long term.

On one hand, it could free up more money for direct research, allowing more grants to be awarded and pushing institutions to be more efficient in their spending. Researchers themselves would get more of the grant to actually do the research they set out to do. On the other hand, it risks underfunding the infrastructure that keeps research going—labs, utilities, compliance, and administrative support.

What do you think?

#MaternalHomicideCrisis: 17 y/o Ikea Hood had just given birth 3 weeks before she was shot by her on/off boyfriend in Dallas. She was young and Black, putting her at a disproportionate risk to be a victim of a leading cause of death for pregnant women. The trial is underway.

"Pregnant people are more likely to die by homicide than any obstetric-related cause — particularly if they are young or Black," reports 2024 National Fellow Fairriona Magee @fairriona for @teamtrace. Read more: https://t.co/purePgMsLX
