Shocking. 😒
‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat

This is un-American regardless of political affiliation. This dangerous. This is terrifying. This is an excuse to attack people for beliefs that run counter to theirs. Standing up against fascism, racism and oppression should be core principles of any American.
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live.

If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie."

Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”
Speaker Mike Johnson Is Living in a D.C. House That Is the Center of a Pastor’s Secretive Influence Campaign
The Capitol Hill townhouse is owned by a major Republican donor. It’s the headquarters of a little-known political influence project that has reached a number of powerful Republican politicians.

This is sickening. If no one knows what’s happening then we don’t have to help them? They’re implying that these people matter less. When groups of people are dehumanized, atrocities happen.
The annual State Department human rights report “will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government.”

I had no idea he was so passionate about our evolution. But I guess I should have suspected given his fascination with our species’ development in season 1.

All-time high IS NOT the same as enough. It’s like saying that because minimum wage is at an All-time high everyone earning that is doing fine.
My kid’s school district is laying off a hundred+ teachers to make up for the lack of funding in a city that is growing faster than most. MISLEADING.

The actions of those in power here in the USA have been horrific. Around the world thousands will suffer and die due to the halting of USAID funds alone. However, perhaps the right people can use this new dark age to reimagine the future of humankind. A future that looks more like Star Trek.

I think the energy that can be harnessed right now if someone in a leadership position wants to step up and be a leader is extraordinary.
Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I think perhaps we (all humans everywhere) should celebrate Alexei Navalny day on the anniversary of his death. This is a man that repeatedly risked and finally gave his life, in the face of almost certain defeat, to improve the lives of others. A symbol of defiance against tyranny the world over.

Sadly, science education is more important now than any time in the last several decades. Even if Star Trek isn’t your thing, I encourage you to support the National Center for Science Education.

I know many people don’t care about billionaires doing space stuff but if you look past them and see the thousands of people that plan and build and launch these amazing machines that represent the ability of our species when we come together, it is beautiful and awe inspiring. #newglenn #nasa
