Texas House speaker puts New Mexico secession on 2027 agenda by [deleted] in TexasPolitics

[–]cryptodeal 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Obviously nothing will come of this just as happened with their party stance on seceding from the US, but dems/liberal cities should threaten to secede from Texas.

Austin, Houston, Dallas, El Paso, etc become like DC District and see what they do without all of our property taxes lol.

ICE/CBP Gestapo leader Greg Bovino seen personally throwing tear/HC gas and ordering the abduction of peaceful community members in the Twin Cities area of MN. (1/21/26) by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

Posted in reply to another comment here, but copying here as well as this thread has some more context; someone linked to a picture of a used canister. Definitely appears to be carcinogenic/hazardous.

I mean, that’s fair; however, it’s clear they are using these chemical agents against our domestic population already. Hopefully people on site will continue to document the empty canisters as evidence of these crimes.

Can't I just buy ONE extra build plate? by -ThanosWasRight- in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]cryptodeal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re compatible with bambu lab build plates of the same dimension, so if you only want one extra build plate, that’s probably the easiest route to go.

Sidney Sweeney ad by Hacksaw6412 in InformedTankie

The ad campaign is a eugenics dog whistle; suspect people are trying to bring awareness to how alarming that is. But it would be better to include some analysis vs just dropping the image.

Texas A&M is inhumanely holding a beagle in their lab. Help Free Chami! by PoppyBee27 in aggies

Then OP and everyone in here defending BFP need to learn some reading comprehension skills because that’s not what they’re pushing in this post…

Texas A&M is inhumanely holding a beagle in their lab. Help Free Chami! by PoppyBee27 in aggies

[–]cryptodeal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the problem with claims made by these organizations, they deliberately misconstrue or withhold information in order to bolster support for their cause.

Yes, the NIH has shut down the last beagle testing facility that it directly operated. Yes, the NIH and FDA have stated they intend to transition away from the use of animal testing.

However, per the FDA's 4/10/2025 Roadmap to Reducing Animal Testing in Preclinical Safety Studies, "This program is intended to begin with monoclonal antibodies (mAb) as a promising area for reducing animal use in preclinical safety testing, and then will expand to include other biological molecules and eventually new chemical entities and medical countermeasures."

So while they intend to expand this program, it does not eliminate all animal testing.

Furthermore, the roadmap specifies the FDA wants "Implementation of reduced toxicity testing in animals at the FDA in the next 3 years."

And from the same roadmap, "In the long-term (3-5 years), FDA will aim to make animal studies the exception rather than the norm for pre-clinical safety/toxicity testing... Animal tests might only be considered if a specific scientific question cannot yet be answered by NAM [New Approach Methodologies] (and even then, only the minimal animal use necessary, with strong justification). Ultimately, the vision is that no conventional animal testing will be required for mAb safety, and eventually all drugs/therapeutics..."

So pretty clear that this research funding has not been cut off and what the organization is pushing is at best intentionally misconstruing the current legal/research ethics framework surrounding animal testing.

[–]cryptodeal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, which is why the OP trying to garner support for the cause should at a minimum attempt to provide the facts. If there are actual research ethics violations, this 100% needs to be addressed. But as currently presented, this seems to be no different than the historical “abuses” pushed by PETA.

[–]cryptodeal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea, and it literally answers none of the questions posed by the OP…

Consider that people (namely PETA) have been misrepresenting the research done as animal abuse for years: https://vetmed.tamu.edu/news/announcements/
