Mussolini closed the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma from 1926-1928; it reopened with new fascist aesthetics. In 1934, Hitler closed the national opera house to “renovate” it. In 1935, Portuguese dictator Salazar closed the national opera house to “renovate” it. 🤔

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.
Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

And one of the first survivors to step forward to try to stop Epstein? A trans woman, who was promptly mocked and villified by the New York Post, New York Magazine, the courts and law enforcement.

Just checking... so if Pres. Harris measured boys' penises w/ her hands while auctioning them off to rich women - & it came to light while she oversaw 2 state murders of people protesting her - while invading a US state & a sovereign nation, she'd STILL be in office?

Here's a general-audience version, recorded at the Deep River library.

Trump policies at odds with emerging understanding of COVID's long-term harm

Speaking of investment in cancer treatment…in just their first 7 months, this administration kicked more than 74K ppl out of active clinical trials, including cancer treatments, meaning if they were receiving treatment that may have been a cure it was just stopped and likely not available elsewhere:
