In TIME magazine - How Trump’s Decision to Fire BLS Commissioner Echoes Putin’s Strategies - Trump may or may not be friends with Putin, but he's clearly following the Russian President’s HR staffing guidelines, eliminating lieutenants who bring bad news.

I'm Jewish, named after my uncle who was executed by the Nazis in a forced labor camp in Poland. My gradfather died in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Trump's use of antisemitism as a smokescreen to underminine free speech and destroy academic research is reprehensible.

90s kid here: I distinctly remember an episode of Growing Pains in which Ben has to make a resource map for a school assignment, & one of the ongoing jokes as he & his older brother spend all night driving around trying to buy paste is that no one, anywhere, has any idea what potash is.

Not exactly. I read the op ed. "The decision to vaccinate is a personal one...By 1960, before the vaccine's introductiin- imptovements in sanitation and nutrition had eliminated 98% of measlesndeaths. Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses."
