#Hamilton celebrates 10 years!

Fun fact: My 11yo daughter learned about the Revolutionary War last year and told me yesterday that she had a hard time imagining Washington and Jefferson as white guys because, to her, they’re not. I thought that was a pretty awesome anecdote.

"This is what we were voting for!"

From a friend in academia:

>>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<<

Great work.

Mahmoud Khalil still has not met his newborn baby, because the judge refuses to grant him bail. Having clerked for a federal judge, I know firsthand that public pressure works. Send him a (polite) letter demanding Khalil be set free:

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

This VE Day, remember not just the heroes who fought, but those who had secretly trained and were prepared to die should Britain fall. Stuart Burrell reports on the group often now referred to as the 'scallywags': the secret auxiliary units.

New Republic: Mr Summary Rendition, Karl Rove, has infuriated Trump by saying, “But the fact is, bring him (Abrego Garcia) back to the United States, lay out the facts in a court of law, and get it done”. I did not have Rove arguing FOR giving migrants due process on my dance card.

On 2/19/1942, FDR signed Executive Order 9066 forcing the removal of over 100,000 Japanese Americans to “relocation camps,” with less than 2 days to get affairs in order. They lost their homes, businesses, farms and communities. Never forget, stop allowing it again #AAPI

it will never stop being crazy that conservatives have brain poisoned people to the extent that we now have to care deeply about the results of school board elections in places where we don’t live

Propaganda helps justify hypocrisy.

Trump proposes a $2.5B cut to IRS saying "The Budget proposes to use spending reform to disempower the targeted harassment of conservatives by the IRS."

THE SAME DAY Trump calls for using the IRS to target Harvard.

What am I missing that I can’t understand why people don’t see other people as PEOPLE? Why does it matter what color skin they have, or who they love/worship, or where they’re from? It’s as arbitrary and dumb as hating someone for their shoe size!!!! 🤬

Folks doubting this should go look at the ports themselves and see how EMPTY they are.

Compare any Major US port to Shanghai or Rotterdam and you will see the problem clearly.

This is…not at all a bad idea.

Not just for talking to reps, but everyone.

If measles gets around because vax rates drop below 95%, your grandkids are more likely to die.
At this point I'm honestly just calling my reps and bluntly saying you're old between the two of us I'm the one more likely to survive an ecoli infection. Maybe do something about this.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.
