Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE detention for 3 months. She is one of a growing number of non-criminal immigrants detained by ICE since Donald Trump took office
She's in ICE detention. From 1,500 miles away, his piano lulls her to sleep.
Fuck ice, and fuck trump. You won't stop science, and I believe there's going to be a debt to us all at the end of this.
Those of us who remember the days of Bush's stem cell research ban know that they absolutely can stop science. And this shit is so much worse because it's so indiscriminate and cruel. Like literally pro-disease.
They've already set shit back years by ending trials mid-trial, cutting grants for things already underway, not fulfilling existing contracts, etc. and it's just getting started.
We'll be set back decades by the time 4 years is up. And it will take years to recover, if it's even possible.
"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth, sooner or later that debt is paid." Republicans have told a lot of lies.
