Stay secular, friends. Keep religion for the religious.
Cherish public education. It's how we find our true geniuses and give kids a window to the world.
We belong among the wildflowers.
Stay safe.

This military action to “protect Christians” is reckless, unconstitutional, and steeped in Christian nationalism.
U.S. bombs are not religious weapons.
Foreign policy must be secular, rights-based, and grounded in diplomacy — not holy war.

Devastated isn't strong enough. I just heard the news that my friend of over 30 years, Howie Klein, @downwithtyranny.bsky.social has died. He did a weekly segment on my show for probably 15 years, right until he went in for surgery months ago for pancreatic cancer. I reached out to him just days ago
