In a better world, this would be an incredible Presidential tradition, that every President chooses a preventable disease and attempts to eradicate it
A moment of silence in honor of Jimmy Carter and his foundation's tireless efforts that contributed so much to this progress
Only 10 cases of Guinea worm disease were recorded *globally* last year.
It may become the second human disease we eradicate, after smallpox.

I used the CIA World Factbook in middle school, when we had to learn and write a bit about one new country a week. So you can see why they would get rid of it

Cafe at The Portland art museum has Rothko no. 5 cakes. Something intellectually meaty about seeing the painting in person, and then eating a cake copy. The complete experience. Full spectrum.

and while we rub our gnatty hands about leadership manoeuvrings i think it’s good for one’s moral core to remember the actual reason behind all this. which is the violation of women and girls. if you take a minute to think about or to pray for them that’s more than most are doing

Trump Scolds Female Reporter For Being Adult
Suggesting that women would not dare to stand up to actual Gestapo is an insult to the memory of Sophie Scholl, who faced down her interrogator at 21 years old and claimed full responsibility
This Claremont twit is so fearful of “wine moms” with cell phones and whistles that he’s demanding Trump crush them with violence.
Or rather, more violence.

When I finally started complaining to some of the other lead organizers about the actual violence this dude was pretty openly trying to visit on me, I was told literally that they didn't want to get involved in the "drama" between him and me.
And that sure put me off the anarchist left for a while

I used to think about this, but if you can shift your mind a little, you’ll realize there are streets ten minutes from your house you’ve never seen
I still like having places that aren’t well known, and I’m worried that the Internet is paving that prospect pretty flat, and that the omni-gaze of Phone and Prestige-Seeking is going to put everything into a search for a vacation plan.
