Feds deploy tear gas in Albany Park as neighbors respond to them detaining people. One person was taken, though another was freed.
“I was afraid to go over there. I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back."

Let us not forget the Electoral College...
The next Democratic President's first priority should be to expand the Supreme Court and then have Citizens United overturned. Then, get a Democratic Congress to reinstate McCain-Feingold. Separate but equal was overturned as undemocratic and Citizens United should be too.

America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers.
If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.

Today in my "Age of Hamilton & Jefferson" course we discussed Jefferson's belief that Americans need to be educated because only by understanding their nation & its history can they recognize threats & defend it
An educated public was a tool against tyranny.

Oh. “The dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who consulted with top Trump health officials ahead of Monday’s warning about Tylenol and autism, was paid at least $150,000 to serve as an expert witness on behalf of plaintiffs in lawsuits against the maker of Tylenol.”

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Decades of steady federal investment have driven survival rates up from 49% in the 1970s to nearly 70% today. Breakthrough vaccines, targeted therapies, and less toxic treatments are finally within reach.
