Happy Easter to all who observe—except those who celebrate a man of color currently being unjustly imprisoned and don't see the irony.

If Your Church Won't Speak Out About a Deported Father (and Thousands More Like Him)—It May as Well Cancel Easter
As a former pastor of over two decades, I could seriously throw up right now.

I'm thankful the @sltrib.com published my letter to the editor. It is time for Sen. John Curtis to hold an in-person town hall.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Something interesting AOC said: "You’re welcome even if you don’t know all the right things to say.” This is a welcome shift in tone from a party guilty of gatekeeping on social justice issues. This will be essential to rebranding the party. #politics #democrats #aoc
AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

This is the rebrand the #Democrats need right now. An angry, energetic populist movement centered around uplifting the working class.
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

It isn't just MAGA that's nervous about these big crowds coming out for Bernie and AOC, it's also the Democratic establishment. They hate it more than anyone.

With a heavy heart, I've decided to suspend all academic travel to the USA for me and my lab. Given the escalation of tensions and uncertainties, it seems to be the wisest move. To our US colleagues, please be certain that we will continue to do what we can to support you. Science is global.

I received a donation email from the DNC merely hours after learning @schumer.senate.gov signaled he would vote for the GOP spending bill.
Even though the DNC doesn't specifically influence elected officials' votes, this is laughably bad marketing. Read the room.

Trump's base may eat up what right-wing media tells them about the #economy, but don't be fooled, the vast majority of moderates won't be swayed. In consumer behavior, this discrepancy between the desired state and actual state is devastating to a brand. #trump #maga #democrats

Today would be yet another good day for university presidents to loudly, collectively, & publicly start defending our institutions & industry. The silence is deafening & frankly, incomprehensible. What exactly are you waiting for? How many Columbias, Maines, & Johns Hopkins will it take?
The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic
RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."
