I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Very few people in the history of our species have saved as many people's lives as William Foege, who designed and lead the global elimination of smallpox, a highly contagious disease that killed 1 out 3 people it infected. ✊ www.scientificamerican.com/article/smal...
Scientist who helped eradicate smallpox dies at age 89
A leader in the global fight against smallpox and a champion of vaccine science, William Foege died last Saturday

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

After looking at my student evaluation in a big 200 level course, I was glad to remember that Lenny Guarente once told me "Most great scientists have an accent".

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Apparently, leadership consists in justifying one’s existence and salary by inventing new ways to make other people lose their time by jumping through useless hurdles. (and I don’t mean the athletes) Go Femke!
