So enraging that the emails from the school district are "here's how you can get food" and "here's how we're protecting students from ICE."
What barbarity, a breach into which underpaid teachers and administrators are stepping in as best they can.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Maybe I’m speaking out of line here (that’s heavy sarcasm by the way) but individuals with Autism aren’t pawns to be used in political games and shouldn’t continue to be further stigmatized for an agenda.

I do not want to live in a country in which people get shot for their politics—even the people I most disagree with.
That’s bad for everyone. I don’t want to live in a country in which anyone is afraid to express their opinions and feel like violence is the only option.

I think political violence is bad. Democracy is so important because it allows us to settle political differences without killing each other.
The people who are currently ending American democracy should probably think about that more seriously.

161. The Court's Disastrous Ruling in the Third-Country Removal Case

One of the biggest issues from how authoritarian regimes are messaged by the US media as failures of socialism is that they don't convey how things like barren store shelves are usually a result of incompetent economic mismanagement rather then overall economic system. Venezuela comes to mind.
