I don't know how many people are aware of this fact, but #Israel doesn't have a constitution, & it only really has 2 branches of government: the executive and judicial (the prime minister controls the legislative chamber).
Now the PM, #Netanyahu, is trying to dissolve the independent judiciary (including their supreme court) to make it subject to political hirings & firings with zero oversight from anyone other than the majority party, which must only garner 61 out of 120 legislative votes.
A research firm investigated Donald Trump’s assertion that the presidential election was fraudulent, but its findings were suppressed because they found nothing to support his claims, The Washington Post reported citing four sources familiar with the matter.

When a school board, a library or a state bans books, it’s not a show of strength. It’s a sign they’re ruled by fear. Fear of knowledge. Fear of opposing views. Fear of democracy.
@h2lift Just read it. Why is it broken up like poetry?
@manateacake @ewdocparris That would keep me from ever writing in that genre. It would be easier to do alternate history fiction cause you can just make it up. 😂
@h2lift @ixtlidekami @ewdocparris The best thing that ever happened to me was mandatory peer review in grad school. I got really good at sifting through and determining what the person really wanted to see in what I’d written and using it to my advantage.
@h2lift @ewdocparris I’ll read it as soon as I finish “Fairy Tale.”
Australian scientists announced Friday they've discovered a protein in the lung that sticks to the COVID-19 virus like Velcro and forms a natural protective barrier in a person's body to block infection.

@ewdocparris Funny thing, while time travel gets me excited, my son is the same way. If anyone ever wanted to kidnap him, just paint “time travel paradox” on the side of the white van, and he’s in there. LOL!
@circatee Probably because an elephant is what mastodons were.

A new real-world effectiveness study documents 85% reduction of deaths and 55% reduction of hospitalizations for Paxlovid, independent of vaccination status, age, variants https://thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(23)00011-7/fulltext…

@ewdocparris Time travel and time paradox. Gets me every time. #SciFi

So, I thought I'd dust off the #SecretSciFiNetwork for a pair of questions.
What is your favorite #SciFi trope?
I mean what will you watch every time they make a movie about it?
And what's your least favorite SciFi trope?
What are you tired of or never really liked.
As always, please boost to reach as many science fiction lovers as possible, and include #SecretSciFiNetwork in your response.
And of course no gatekeeping, no arguing. Plenty of room for different takes.

I believe in a future where Black and Brown parents don’t have to have “the talk” with their children.
Passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act would get us one step closer.

Using the new U2 navigation system, the streets have no name and I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

All female doctors and health workers in Kabul have been ordered to wear the full hijab and cover their faces with black masks while working by the Taliban Ministry of Public Health.
“We female doctors have studied for a lifetime and gained the expertise to what, perform operations under the burqa?”
“If the order is not removed, no female doctor will be able to continue working.”

Female Doctor,
