"Why do you just attack democrats? Why don't you ever go after republicans?"
Same reason I think it's necessary to warn people off an inexplicably popular restaurant that keeps giving everyone food poisoning but don't see the need to warn people off of eating directly out of an open sewer.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin:
Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author.
Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

Her sister wrote my favorite essay about her. She points out that RF would have been famous even if she'd never looked at DNA

Perfect summary.
Watson had a flash of insight at age 25, based on stolen data, about 2 weeks before anybody else. He spent the rest of his too-long career claiming to be a genius about subjects he knew fuck all about.
