The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time.
This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable.
The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin.
These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives.
In plain language: torture.

Zero surprise that these are explicitly designed to cause pain without leaving a mark, not to incapacitate.
Yes, we're spending $20M to buy ICE agents torture devices.

Democracy is more than elections. It is the right to disagree without fear, protest without retaliation, report the truth without intimidation, and demand answers from those in power. When those protections disappear one by one, authoritarianism has already begun to grow.
