My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

Mentions of "Fauci" on X have mostly vanished since the data centers in Russia were destroyed by Ukrainian bombs. SMITE!💥

As someone who works in prevention I can tell you without a doubt that Cornell happened because those 7 students made the same kinds of 'jokes' Shane Gillis did, and they went left unchecked.

Grammar and vocabulary matter - especially when getting it wrong evokes a giggle rather than respect. A person killed by hanging has been hanged. Putin being hung? I’ve never looked in his pants.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

In a major Texas Senate race endorsement, Hall of Fame former Texas Ranger David Maxwell spoke out against Ken Paxton. After blowing the whistle on Paxton's corruption in 2020 and being fired, Maxwell is endorsing James Talarico for US Senate. "Texans deserve a Senator who serves the people."
