I know folks are looking to support Portland protestors right now. For those who can afford to donate, here are people and orgs that I’ve seen doing important work over the past 50 days. PDX folks, feel free to add links to the thread — I’ll retweet what I have time to verify.

I watched LeVar in both Reading Rainbow and Next Generation around the same time as a kid. Both were very formative and inspirational in my childhood. @levarburton

Shout out to @levarburton friend to all mankind.

For the #4thofJuly let’s all do one #patriotic service activity:

Prioritize safety for those in your family, community, state, & country over minor personal inconvenience.

Wear a mask, wash your hands, maintain physical distancing, & be nice to each other. That's it.

Curious about the "TEA-TEB" ignition agent used for the #SpaceX #dragoncrew launch? It's a mixture of pyrophoric triethylaluminum and triethylborane. Chemists can confirm that exposing these to air = fire. The green color is from the boron burning. #LaunchAmerica #RealTimeChem

As both a jeopardy and periodic table fan, this is a pretty cool!

That was a thrilling game of #Jeopardy tonight! I felt like I was watching a sports finale or something #jamesholzhauer #ftw #excerciseyourmind

Your Daily Affirmation:

Even though everything appears to be on fire, I am chilly. Even though the world is awash in heinous fuckery most foul, I am decent, kind, and thoughtful. Just because this is the current normal, does not mean it's normal, and I can make it better.

You know what? Vasectomies are reversible. Why not just make all men get them? And then if they're truly ready to be a father, they can undo them.

What's that? You have problems with this? Yes, you're right, it's wrong to regulate men's bodies like that.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Many people including the president are cheering news of HIV cure in 2nd patient. You know what happened? SCIENCE. Science isn’t a goal, it’s a process of knowledge. And it applies to vaccines, climate change, and the wonder of understanding our universe and natural world.

Presenting a poster at #2019SAS? @Spoonflower is offering conference attendees a 15% discount on fabric posters! Check it out: https://t.co/cFZDUInTEO.

One great thing about fabric posters is that they can be #reused and #upcycled for so many things! Some inspo below!

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Law only allows the use of a #NationalEmergency in two scenarios:
1. Declaration of war
2. Emergency requiring the use of armed forces

Not because you failed at negotiating & Mexico won't pay for your racist wall.

The American people will see you in court, @realDonaldTrump.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

I wonder if climate scientists have included in their models the effects of the decaying organic matter found in Donald Trump’s Twitter rants.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

It takes more than a nod to unity at the top of a speech to bring our country together. Our president has spent the last 2 years trying to drive us apart. Actions speak louder than words. #SOTU

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

None of it

[Dwingeloo Telescoop @radiotelescoop]

This photo of Earth and the Lunar farside, maybe our best ever, was taken yesterday by the Chinese Lunar satellite DSLWP-B (Longjiang-2). The Dwingeloo telescope downloaded the photo from the satellite this morning. More info at https://t.co/sKt7w9mol9

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

Voting isn’t a “power grab”. It’s democracy, and it’s literally the entire point of our representative government.

And by the way: Not only should Election Day be a federal holiday, we need automatic voter registration and universal mail voting, too.
