“We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety and faithful stewardship of public resources.”
Bravo to the brave folks at NIH who published the Bethesda Declaration this morning to hold this administration accountable! You can sign a letter…

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.
