Hope in spite of MAHA:Aggressive small cell cancers (lung, prostate, ovary) have seen few new treatment options in decades.Their cells are missing a gene that forces them to depend on a single protein to live.Remove it & the tumors stop growing & already drugs used to treat autoimmune diseases can.
A hidden weakness in deadly cancers could lead to powerful new treatments
A UCLA study has identified a hidden Achilles' heel in aggressive small cell cancers that have resisted new treatments for decades. Scientists found that tumors lacking the RB gene become critica...

The U.S. team as a whole was good enough to win without Fubar pressuring a well-known corrupt FIFA into cheating to win. As a former ref, I just have to remember that Fubar’s life story is that he only wins by cheating without even trying to cover it up - now the world sees him spoil any US win.

The old argument from privileged gay people was pushed to the wider public and promoted on the last day of Pride Month by the privileged New York Times. Here's a good response.

Labeling the #rightwing hypocrites is too easy. It actually lets the religious views, and most of the people who endorse them, off the hook.
Why This Religion Prof Quit Calling Right-Wing Hypocrites "Hypocrites" Long Ago

LGBTQ+ Pride# is a radical notion not because it expresses some twisted idea of humanity but because it confronts every human being to question the limitations of the straight role they're scared into growing up in the USA.

Healthy activism is something we do because it’s us holding onto and expressing what we value because it speaks to us. From our very being it’s what we must do. #pride #pridemonth
Why Are We Marching, Anyway?

The current U.S. administration has turned the use of #religion into an art form. Their modus operandi is to mainstream the idea that “Christianity” truly means doing ones best to destroy those over which they want to feel superior. #ChristianNationalism
The U.S. Government Addiction That's More Powerful Than Oil
The U.S. government has a strong, blinding addiction more consuming than oil or debt, and second only to power itself. Maybe it's time we staged an intervention

Can't you just hear the drunk in the bar bragging: "Them I'll sue the bastards.?
There are certainly places where further discussion is called for, necessary, and valuable, but that doesn’t get the attention needed in a time when pithy memes, short videos, and the limits of so much social media formats set the standard for so many of us.

The Fubar regime continues to cash in
Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to pay Corey Lewandowski
Some companies complained to the Trump administration that Lewandowski has stood to personally profit from the DHS contracting process. Lewandowski denies the allegations.

The Speaker of the House: “We are not at war, we have no intention of being at war.” Imagine if another country bombed us and killed our President while saying they are not at war with us. This is insanity.
No bullshit prediction: Within 18 months, Noem will be speaking at straight-up nazi rallies. Patriot Front, Atomwaffen, shit like that. She won't succeed at that either, but that's the route she'll go.
One reason that people are overlooking when they try to figure out why Trump started this war: Because he could. Trump is a child, and he has a bunch of toy soldiers. He wants to make them fight before they're taken away in 2029. Don't give him credit for thinking beyond "I can do war so I will."
We knew #Noem would be a fallguy. Now he appoints a more dangerous sycophant.
