It took a lot of recent refugees gathered together at Los Alamos to make an atom bomb. Not just Fermi.
Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.

Yes but the Orange Line should really extend out to West Roxbury, with a terminus off the VFW Parkway near the former WR High School. Going only to Roslindale would be a big missed opportunity to do it right the first time.

My friend and I both had postpartum pre-eclampsia. I am white. My concerns were validated and I was treated promptly. My friend was Black. She was dismissed and sent home...and died.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth.
Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.”

we don't talk enough about how google searches are basically non-functional at this point. It no longer recognizes excluded words, it forces location searches, ignores words put in quotes, you can do a "verbatim" search or a timestamped search but not both together. And it prioritizes VIDEO RESULTS.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
