We're Made of Cells. Trump's Indictment. It's Pride Month.

We talked abut multicellularity and evolution in the laboratory. We also talked about a poll put out by GLAAD that says that 64% of Americans are pro-LGBT+∞ rights. We talked about Trump's indictment on 37 felony counts for violations of the Espionage Act and obstructing justice, and we noted that others charged with less didn't get to stay out of prison while they awaited trial. The Summer Solstice is coming. We questioned the idea that the CIA is advertising that it's going to assassinate WBAI hosts.
