Engaging article by Dr. Sara Giordano in @theconversation.com. The book “The Reinvention of Science” by Jones, Martinez & Trimble contains an extensive history of how science evolved through controversy, suppression, and the desire to mantain the status quo. 🧪🔭⚛️ theconversation.com/scientific-o...

Holy shit! During the national anthem at the US Open men's final, the moment Trump is shown on the jumbotron the entire stadium erupted in boos. To say the pedophile president is loathed in his own hometown would be an understatement. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.
