As an anthropology nerd, this is so awesome! First humans were black and migrated out of Africa. It took some time for white skin to develop. Cheddar Man really helps to visualize what that early migration looked like. We have this idea that race has an absolute definition, but scientifically we are all on the same…

We now have the distinction of having the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, along with the highest number of uninsured people in USA. Texas also rejected federal money for Medicaid. On the plus side, at least we stuck it to that socialist Obama?

I don’t think we can reform members of the Trump Cult. The thing that makes it so difficult is that, while the Trump Cult is not the majority, because of gerrymandering, geography, voter suppression and the Electoral College, they have outsized influence.
