I have had a miserable week. I've cried every single day. Work sucked. I ruined my fav hat. Setback with my broken arm & I'm just in pain. I canceled plans with friends & separately w/ family & my fantasy football team is going to lose
At least I get to try again next week, I'm grateful for that

The newspapers are not making a big deal of this today. This is a big deal. Someone shot into a Federal building repeatedly, fueled by misinformation and politics. It should be front page news across the country.
we are extremely fortunate that no CDC workers were shot yesterday in the attack targeting them. around a dozen floors in the headquarters buildings had windows pierced by bullets.
WATCH: Video shows bullets on the ground and bullet holes in windows inside CDC Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia after gunman opened fire outside the building.

I’ve been teaching the histories of eugenics for over a decade and I honestly never thought I would be able to use an American Eagle ad in a lecture to demonstrate how dangerously normalized eugenics has become in 2025.
