Trump's very first example of the Smithsonian's "corrosive ideology" was an exhibit that correctly stated "Race is a human invention." How is scientific consensus (that biological races don't exist in humans) corrosive? We are asking scientists to co-sign our statement: forms.gle/kqKQF9CZ3jPB...

Let’s try this again! 8 months ago I suffered a SCAD heart attack (Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection), probably precipitated by a bike ride up the quite steep hill home on my new bike. The ride is much easier on my new Vado 4.0 SL e-assist bike. And safer for my heart! #hearthealth
