The New York Times reports that a group of “scientific” racists misused National Institute of Health data (that families were assured would be protected) to write bogus papers on supposed to biological racial differences. Gift link.
A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.
Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.
We are citizens of a country in which someone might be expected to survive two school shootings thousands of miles apart before they have finished their education
Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.
Amazing work from former colleagues at Annenberg!

I would never presume to lecture a computer scientist on how to teach their material, as I am unqualified.
This computer scientist should not pontificate about teaching subjects where he is unqualified.
Teaching about race is political. Full stop.

I'd be curious to see if there are differences in understandings of tariffs in swing states vs states like NY that are blue/don't get as many targeted ads. That analysis would say more about the utility of messaging, etc.
Harvard’s decision to stand up against Trump was its smartest and most effective fundraising move ever.
MESSAGE TO COMPANIES, INSTITUTIONS AND POLITICIANS:
IT IS BOTH THE RIGHT THING AND THE SMART THING TO DEFEND YOUR CORE VALUES.
A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
@booker.senate.gov dismantles a Confederate monument.
It really is critical that people accept this. You don’t have to understand it, just accept it. The point is literally for kids and people to die. Now, is it foolish that they think THEY are the genetically superior? Sure. But eugenics is definitionally narcissistic and dumb.
I really want to stress that it is not possible to teach about antisemitism without also teaching about, say, racism and xenophobia.

Chilling report from Brown University.
Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities.

They're not just going to stop collecting data; they want researchers to stop accessing the data that already exists. Despicable.
In this clip, Vance explicitly says that, *more* than being about national security, this is about "who do *we,* as an American public, decide gets to join our national community." Not to be Influence of Soros on this but this is antithetical to an open society

tl;dr (but actually go read it anyway);
Born 1957-1967? You might have gotten a weak shot.
Born 1967-1989? You might have gotten one shot, not enough.
In either case, the options are
1) look up your vaccination records,
2) get a measles titer measurement; or...
3) just get a booster! (I did that.)
"Loomer... accused Furman and his wife Ariela Dubler of being “leftist Jews” who are as dangerous as “Jihadists.”... Trump himself has frequently accused liberal Jewish figures of being disloyal."
Tell me again about how this is about fighting antisemitism.
