Revising a paper for a major journal and (sigh)... the reviewer has requested the addition of a series of references from one particular group. The references are not needed As an editor, if i saw this i'd remove it from the decision letter as its a form of research misconduct, referred to be COPE as coercive citation. How does this still happen in 2026?

@RepThomasMassie Can you manage to put some people in prison please? Bondi seems to be a good candidate. She broke that law first.

Did you know that fruits and veggies are picked way earlier than nature intended just to accommodate legacy infrastructure? They’re harvested while still in their infancy just to survive a supply chain that’s been capped by outdated solutions. Produce sits in dark containers and cold storage for weeks, sometimes months, before it ever reaches your kitchen. Harvesting too early is a legacy constraint we’ve accepted for too long. The industry’s "solution" to keep this prematurely picked fruit from rotting has been to coat it in petroleum-derived waxes and synthetic fungicides. We were told that if we want fresh food, we have to accept a layer of plastic-like wax on our apples and cucumbers. Even the "Organic" label has been used as a shield, while still relying on those same, legacy coating methods. There’s room for innovation. The system wasn't built for flavor or nutrients. It was built for a long-haul flight. Our team of scientists and technologists are deploying a new strategy that uses food to protect food. We’ve pioneered a way to take the materials found in the peels, seeds, and pulp of all plants and recycle them into a high-performance shield. By mimicking nature’s own defense system, we’re finally able to harvest for the best consumer experience. That’s the future. We’re allowing fruit to stay on the vine longer, develop real complexity, and reach your table at the peak of its potential. We’re inviting consumers, retailers and suppliers to join us in bringing a new food experience online. Follow @jamestrogers and @BelingLuiz to learn more. Plant-based protection is the future. Apeel forever.

@chiproytx How can you be a 100% proven conservative when you let the debt balloon trillions of dollars under Trump?

Nobody is friendlier or harder working than @ICEgov law enforcement. Thank you, @POTUS Trump for letting ICE help Americans stay moving at our airports.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents, working with state police, pulled over a vehicle, in Ogden, Utah… and smashed their car window because he wouldn’t roll it down all the way. Watch the shift… because this is where it goes from aggressive to completely out of control. The driver already has the window partially open. The ICE agent is yelling, giving a countdown, threatening to break the window… while another officer is trying to open the door from the other side. No explanation, or clear threat… Just escalation. Then, someone inside says, “I’m a U.S. citizen… you pointed a gun at me.” And that’s the moment everything changes. Instead of pulling back… instead of correcting… instead of even acknowledging it… The ICE agent snaps. “I don’t give a shit who you are, I don’t know you.” And then he immediately escalates further… raises the metal bar… and starts hitting the window… doubling down on force. A person says you pointed a gun at them… and your response is not to de-escalate… It’s to get MORE aggressive. That’s retaliation. They call them “non-compliant”… and within seconds, the window is smashed and the driver is dragged out. And it doesn’t stop there. The passenger… who is recording… gets told to “stay there” while the officer puts his hand on his gun. He responds, “I’m recording for my safety.” The officer shuts the door on him anyway. When he opens it again and steps out… and then the officer physically shoves him back into the car. This is what needs to be understood… The escalation didn’t come from a threat. It came the second someone spoke up… the second someone said, “you pointed a gun at me”… The second someone started documenting it. That’s when it got worse. That’s when it turned physical. That’s when the window broke. And that’s what should alarm people… because that’s not about safety anymore. That’s about being challenged… and responding with more force.

@RepBoebert @ChrisCoons A Republican senator has to make a unanimous consent motion first for that to even be necessary. So far, not a single Republican has. So your post is focusing on someone who may make an objection when ZERO Republicans are even bringing the motion.

This is the Democrat returning to DC from vacation to make sure DHS isn’t funded and TSA agents go without pay. Let’s make him famous. @ChrisCoons.

@BooBoo_Ace @ScienceDJX @CalltoActivism All men are created equal, yet we enslaved a segment of the population? If you think the constitution is solid, go take a constitutional law class and see how easily we confuse ourselves.

So ICE is going to be at polling places? I thought the Constitution forbade the federal government from this? Are we just using the Constitution as a suggestion at this point?
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism

🚨BREAKING: GOP Sen. Lankford just said that the Democrats' demands in the Senate were "absolutely absurd; they asked for things, for instance, like ICE could not be at polling places." The cat is out of the bag; ICE is coming to the polling locations in Nov. This is alarming.

@Nebraskawriter2 @ScienceDJX @CalltoActivism I think you could get there any way, living document, originalism, or textualism. It’s the consistent application of that approach, without mixing and matching.

@Nebraskawriter2 @ScienceDJX @CalltoActivism Is living document code for “we don’t use words properly?” Let’s face it, our biggest issue was addressed by the Magna Carta. Laws should equally apply to everyone. Is that the world be inhabit? That was over 8 centuries ago, and we still haven’t fully accepted that premise.

@ecable @ScienceDJX @CalltoActivism I think you have to see the Constitution more as a living document, than guidelines. I believe that was the intent. You can't ignore the fact that things exist now that didn't when the document was initially imagined. That is something both sides need to be more cognizant of.

@Nebraskawriter2 @ScienceDJX @CalltoActivism I'm not kidding. 2A explicitly states that rights shall not be infringed, and we have a body of SCOTUS opinions explaining why infringement is acceptable. Our ability to use words unambiguously is highly suspect. Therefore, it's guidance. We could do better if we wanted.
