📝 I took notes - entering the holiday season idk if I’ll be ambushed by a MAGA — happened this summer and I still haven’t spoken to the person. This person is the type of MAGA who claims they “don’t even like Trump” — it’s so annoying. Will use Jefferson’s tips in future! 🩵

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Bowhead whales make huge amounts of a DNA-repair protein that seems to stop damaged cells from turning pre-cancerous. The AK Iñupiaq community helped researchers determine that Bowheads can live 200yrs without cancer. This may help find new cancer treatments in humans.
