Can't remember the last time I was this angry.

This is amazing
Italian researchers did a study where they looked at whether more people would give up their seat on a train for a pregnant passenger if Batman were present.

The answer is yes. People are more likely to engage in prosocial behavior when Batman’s around.

Now. How do we apply this to vaccination?
Unexpected events and prosocial behavior: the Batman effect
Prosocial behavior, the act of helping others, is essential to social life, yet spontaneous environmental triggers for such behavior remain underexplored. This study tested whether an unexpected event, such as the presence of a person dressed as ...

So it’s quite notable that local elected officials were directly lied to repeatedly that this was not an ICE raid.

A Trump supporter has already assassinated one Democratic elected official this year & attempted to assassinate another and his family. He's now calling for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution.
WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO STOP THIS?

One problem that healthy people have is they don't have any frame of reference for what 'pain that never leaves you' feels like both on a day to day level nor over the long time horizon you'll be chronically sick, which is a problem, because doctors are healthy people overwhelmingly

It’s been almost 48 hours and we still don’t know with certainty how many people were detained on Tuesday, the grounds (if any) on which they’re being held, or what will happen next for these members of our community—all of whom have families and friends and people who love them.

This isn’t normal.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

"reappropriated to our jail" LOLZ
An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Our office is on site as the situation continues to evolve. There is a visible ICE presence, but we continue to be told this not a widespread immigration raid. We are working with community and government partners to monitor and ensure any action remains within the scope of a valid warrant.
