Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.

This is a man who knowingly took up Nazi rhetoric to gin up the hatred behind an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Haitian refugees from his own state.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

This is just flat out racism. No other way to describe it, and if you see someone trying to do otherwise (looking at you NYT editors) then correct them.

I'm glad my home is full of dumb things.

For @viraldonutz.bsky.social

I can't understand how people can be so broken.

I can't decide who's worse - people who believe these vile things in their soul or people who pretend they do for proximity to power.

I wonder if the essays college students write as punishment for sexual assault are admissable in court.

I have a new piece of art in my home. It tends to move around a bit.

Austin PD should arrest the ICE agents who fired into the vehicle for attempted murder and update the charges if the victim dies. Horrific. What's stopping municipal departments from enforcing basic laws?

Washington DC isn't going to experience a ground invasion from a foreign adversary.

Will journalists *ever* stop doing this dumbass wins/losses framing? This isn’t a game; this is about what’s legal and constitutionally protected. It’s not pick 6 in the 4th quarter.

Stop stop stop treating this $5k check thing like it’s real. It’s just…not.

Protect trans kids.

It's tragic, unacceptable, and unnecessary. Those who can't secure housing quickly accumulate legal troubles (fines, vagrancy/trespassing charges, etc.) that can cost them jobs and eligibility for assistance.

There is no such thing as “conservative-based” science. If you’re not doing evidence-based science, you are making up fairy tales.

My son's view from the 5th floor of Wilson Hall ain't bad.

In what context is "Abolish Ice" a radical position? In a context where everyone sees this, and feels confident that this sort of behavior will be punished. In a context where basic accountability systems are in place. An organization that encourages this behavior is impossible to fix.

We have a growing number of armed and emotionally-unregulated men who genuinely believe they're at war with anyone who crosses their path. This woman's bravery is impressive.

We might live in the most self destructive country ever. We could've had everything and destroyed ourselves. Remarkable.

A lot of people who enabled this cruelty are sitting in pews today asking the Lord to forgive their sins, bless their lives, and give them the urges He wants them to have to be good followers of Christ. It's impossible to understand what's in people's hearts and minds.

Genuine question. Why are we hearing so much about the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). From what I've read, they have 120K members. None of the candidates being described as part of DSA are members, from what I can tell. Are Dems who aren't essentially Reagan Republicans assumed to be DSA? 🤷

I’ve been yelling about it this all year. Municipalities still act like these are unfortunate incidents instead of what they are. They’re attacks on critical infrastructure. We’ve underinvested in modernizing essential systems and infrastructure while degrading cybersecurity.

From Trump on down, they all lied.

People need to start getting disbarred for this shit.

The @msusurplus.bsky.social is in a league of its own. 💚

I will never understand why so many, who are clearly paying close enough attention to know what's unfolding, activity decided to go along with flagrant corruption.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

Current events have eroded my commitment to decorum to the point I'm swearing in writing in texts and chats with friends. I can tell this is a new thing for me because I'm having to double check when the swears I'm using are one word or two.

This is election interference.

This administration is struggling to understand why threats aren't resulting in immediate capitulation. It doesn't occur to any of them that we're all so tired of this nonsense that we don't care about their threats. Threats are white noise at this point. #Literally

It’s impossible to move the debate forward when one side is committed to upholding a disinformation-fueled, dehumanizing false reality that leads to the state-sanctioned street killings of innocent people. There are not two sides to this particular story. Full stop.

I can't relate to those who are silent right now.

When I see stuff like this, I wonder what we're not supposed to be paying attention to and talking about between now and Thursday.

This will set back American math and science advancement for decades. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Every. Single. Day. This nation isn't serious about protecting children. Predators are operating under the cover of religion, public service, and other trust influencers while hysteria surrounding immigrants and LGBTQ+ humans grabs the attention.

The number of people unapologetically indifferent to death & suffering is sickening. Every story involves real people. They are humans trying to live modest lives in safe conditions for their families. A nation that spends trillions on war, policing & prisons has turned citizens' hearts to stone.

Is this real? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There are countless examples of this scenario. It's sickening and it persists because predators are shaping and echoing a narrative that diverts attention to vulnerable immigrants, LGBTQ+ humans, and anyone challenging this rot. It's past time to get serious about men who assault, rape, & exploit.

The slandering of education isn't being taken seriously enough. The knowledge and research that touch all of our lives are beyond what we can measure. In additional to all areas of knowledge having value, sometimes you need to master one thing to learn another.

Clearly this push has nothing to do with protecting our nation. When a POTUS states "we will win every election for the next 100 years" if the SAVE Act passes, all Americans need to understand "we" isn't a party.

I can't relate to those who are willing to lie when they know that the lie will harm someone. There is something broken inside those willing to contribute to the arrest, imprisonment, deportation, and even death of another human to score points for their side. Terrible. Gross.

How about we stop connecting everything to fighting? Fighting rarely solves anything. Our budgets, slogans, news stories, public policy, etc., are overrun with fighting. Decency asks us to value one another and to work as a community to leave places and others better than we found them. ❤️

🎯 I don't understand how the rectangle in my hand is capable of sending texts and pictures of storm damage to my neighbor, who is traveling in India, instantaneously and receive her replies. More knowledgeable people understand. That used to matter.
