Sounds like Jesse’s dad raised a good kid.
I was reading an article about the cancellation of food aid to Minnesota, and it reminded me of a story about my dad. He was a vet, an organizer and very deeply involved in his church. And one day he stood up and asked a question: “what the f*ck’s the point of having a church?”

For 2026, let’s normalize unfollowing people who are repeatedly gratuitously mean, and blocking posters who post or re-post misinformation.

@Listened to Episode 16 of @thisamericanlife.org today, from 1997. They started out talking to four “moderate” Republicans who were worried that their nominee, Bob Dole wasn’t moderate enough.
Sweet summer children, is all I have to say. I would love if they could find those four people today.
