Peter Dinklage and erasing medical debt? I'm in.
So the new Toxic Avenger (with Peter Dinklage as Toxie) releases in theaters on Friday. For every million the movie makes, they will donate a million to erase medical debt. Up to $15M. I encourage everyone who is willing to watch a comedy-horror in theaters to go see it before it hits streaming.

When I read EO Wilson's letters at the LOC, it was clear that he was an ACTIVIST (for "scientific racism"). He was organizing with "race scientists," supporting them, positively reviewing their pubs and books, encouraging them to write Op Eds. Yet only progressives get the "activist" label.
Insisting on expertise over ideology is not “politicizing” science. The ideologues installing scientific and governmental policy that is contradicted by evidence and data are.
By emphasizing ideology over expertise, THEY have made arguing for expertise and evidence-based decision making partisan.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.
Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

Not to mention the fact that a rushed 5 year census wouldn't be accurate in any shape or form. This administration is blatantly stupid and hypocritical.
This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Census is constitutionally mandated to take place every 10 years and count the "whole number of persons in each state"
