It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

The DHS is reportedly developing its own smart glasses that it plans to couple with biometric databases and facial recognition.

HEAD QUARTERS MORRIS TOWN 12TH MARCH 1777 Sir You are hereby required immediately to send me an exact return of your regiment, and to send all your recruits, who have had the small pox to join the Army. Those, who have not, are to be sent to Philadelphia, and put under the direction of the commanding officer there, who will have them inoculated. You are to leave a sufficient number of proper officers to carry on the recruiting service, who are to bring up their men as soon as they are ready. No pleas, of delay, on account of the dispersion of the officers can be admitted, as every commanding officer ought to know where his inferior officers are, and they what recruits they have, and where they are to be found. You are to remain at Philadelphia, to procure arms clothing &c., and send on, your Major to Camp, to receive your detachments. Your Lieut. Colonel is also to come on, as soon as circumstances will permit. I am Sir Your most humble servant Go: Washington George Washington wrote this letter to Lt. Colonel David Grier on March 12, 1777. In it, Washington instructs Grier to send new soldiers to Philadelphia so they could be inoculated for smallpox. Washington wanted to make sure that his troops were not affected by disease, and he believed that inoculation would help with that. So, just before this letter was written, Washington created a mandated system of inoculating his soldiers.

George Washington wrote this letter to Lt. Col. David Grier on March 12, 1777. In it, Washington instructs Grier to send new soldiers to Philadelphia so they could be inoculated for smallpox... just before this letter was written, Washington created a mandated system of inoculating his soldiers."

Seattle’s proposed library levy could grow by $70M The City Council committee's decision to seek even more money from voters in August was not unanimous.

“I expect hard times ahead for Seattle’s economy. This levy presents us with an opportunity — and to my mind a responsibility — to increase our investments to ensure safe community spaces are in every neighborhood in our city.” - AMR

Iran Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

Yesterday’s court decision invalidated the President’s illegal executive order eliminating funding for public broadcasting. Awesome win. But while that case was in court, Congress eliminated funding and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting closed forever. Public media is still in crisis.

Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano died in ICE custody on March 25 at Adelanto, CA. He is the 14th person to die in ICE detention in 2026. That's one death every 6 days holding with what I can only call morbid precision.

This is so important to know. Very, very few kids get surgery. Of those, it’s almost exclusively trans boys getting breast reductions, because they didn’t get puberty blockers at puberty onset. This is a surgery cisgender youth get much more often than trans ones.

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵:

These protests are important b/c:

1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

Bar chart shows percentage completed for SFSU students and CSULA students with low and high GPA. All completion rates at in the 80s except for high GPA CSULA students which have lower completion rates in the 70s.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

What's hilarious about this is that California, which is the tech and AI capital of the country, has a state income tax, the highest rate of which is 12.3% (vs 9.9% in the WA proposal), and the tax is on all income, not just income over $1 million. Yet somehow Silicon Valley is doing just fine.

Poem 'The Questionaire' by Wendell Berry

Berry turns the language of bureaucracy into something quietly terrifying by asking questions escalating in horror

The poem is 60 years old but feels like it could have been written yesterday.

By the end there's a feeling you’re not being questioned, you're being measured.

The Trump Administration Can’t Kill Black History Month We don’t need permission from the government to commemorate a complex past.

Last week, my mother took me and my kids to see the school where, 60 years ago, she was among the first wave of Black students to integrate a previously all-White school. We wanted to remind my kids that Black history is not just famous people in textbooks, it is often the people right next to you.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

New Documents Reveal a Controversial Vaccine Study's Unusual Path to CDC Approval A new investigation has found irregularities in the ethics review of a grant to study effects of a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine in Guinea-Bissau.

New from @katherineeban.bsky.social in @rollingstone.com: CDC appointees bypassed the agency’s scientists to rush-fund a study questioning the hep B birth dose. The ethics committee president says his name was used on the approval without his knowledge.
