We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the Presidentβs Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.
As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
βThe limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.β
Today, the National Trust for Historic Preservation sent a letter to the National Capital Planning Commission, the National Park Service, and the Commission of Fine Arts regarding proposed construction of the White House ballroom.

This is a major win for public health.
A message from Carl Sagan from 1995βsome of his last prophetic words.
Nothing says βfreedomβ like Trump drooling over communist-style military parades. Tanks in the streets, flags flying, and zero awareness of irony.
Please denounce Defense Secretary Hegsethβs blatant bigotry and honor Korean War veteran and civil rights hero Harvey Milk in the process. The men and women who serve us are already warriors. Bigotry is un-American. βπΎβ€οΈπΊπΈ

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isnβt comingβitβs already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the mediaβs playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.
Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.
