Between June 2024 and January 2025, a full 62% of commercial honey bee colonies in the U.S. died, the largest on record. USDA efforts were slowed by funding cuts and layoffs. Now, USDA scientists have finally identified a culprit. But it may be too late. www.science.org/content/arti...

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper.
And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that.

An internal memo, prepared before Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE, raises doubts about the Trump administration’s claims that she supports Hamas.

The most un-American statement ever uttered by a Secretary of State. Also, he is grossly lying about Rumeysa and her actions. I loved #Tufts. It is a fantastic university. But it, and every other US university are not safe for foreign students anymore. Boycott 🇺🇸 until we get rid of these fascists
Dear Secretary Rubio,
Hi, Tufts professor here. As someone who was on campus during the time in question, your claims about what Rumeysa Ozturk did bear no resemblance to reality. So did you just revoke her visa because she co-authored an anodyne op-ed that never mentioned Hamas?
Sincerely,
DWD

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

For the heartless who do not care about the suffering of millions, many of them children, do you think that America will be spared from a mass explosion of HIV cases around the world?
No big deal, just missing the deadline to continue a program that costs the equivalent of a rounding error and has saved millions of lives around the world.
Letting PEPFAR quietly die will cause at least 1 million new HIV infections per year and hundreds of thousands of annual deaths.
