A lot of us know people - good people - who may have believed the promises they were told about "draining the swamp" or "no new wars." Now is the time to reach out to them. Not to say, "I told you so," but to say, "He doesn't deserve you."

Congress passed the first major housing bill since the 1990s with overwhelming bipartisan support. While a step forward, housing policy scholars say it won't meaningfully address affordability. theconversation.com/a-rare-bipar...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

More than 200 million Americans are under heat advisories this week. That includes workers toiling under the hot sun, in overheated warehouses, and in delivery trucks with no AC. They used to count on OSHA to keep them safe — but Trump has sold out the agency to corporate interests.

From love songs to lullabies, songs spanning the globe—despite their diversity—exhibit universal patterns, according to the first comprehensive scientific analysis of the similarities and differences of music across societies around the world. Learn more on #WorldMusicDay: scim.ag/43Ct5Ib
Density plots for each society show the distributions of musical performances on each of the three principal components (Formality, Arousal, Religiosity). Distributions are based on posterior samples aggregated from corresponding ethnographic observations. Societies are ordered by the number of available documents in the NHS Ethnography (the number of documents per society is displayed in parentheses). Distributions are color-coded according to their mean distance from the global mean (in z-scores; redder distributions are farther from 0). Although some societies’ means differ significantly from the global mean, the mean of each society’s distribution is within 1.96 standard deviations of the global mean of 0. One society (Tzeltal) is not plotted because it has insufficient observations for a density plot. Asterisks denote society-level mean differences from the global mean. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

Bill Hartman-The CDC is not allowed to comment on the tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas.  The word must get out, however.  Most of the world is vaccinated against TB, but the US is not.  We are vulnerable and this is a real threat.
