From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

If I see one more sci-fi show or movie where there is breathable air on a planet with no plants, I swear. I know the desert/stone/lava/metal planet the art department whipped up looks cool, but your actors are gonna have to put on those space suits with the interior helmet lights.

When @wired asked me to look at Silicon Valley in the age of Trump, I saw the crash of the idealism that originally drew founders--and me--to the tech revolution. Selling out the dream will not serve those moguls (or us) well. www.wired.com/story/silico...
I Thought I Knew Silicon Valley. I Was Wrong

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia
