When I realize the gender distribution and the age range, indicated by these photos, of the people who are doing critical work as PhD candidates, postdocs, and professors, in a field that is so important to me, it gives me hope that our little planet may be in good hands after all. #MSAfungi26

If the people leading a combat mission, or a war, will not take responsibility for errors, then they cannot be trusted to have an unbounded system at their disposal.

To you have a piece agreement, two sides need to want peace. Hamas does not want peace. If they agree to a peace deal, they lose all the leverage they have by putting their own people in the line of fire and demonizing Israel. It does not matter what Trump and Netanyahu call a “deal”.

Jeffrey Epstein “stole” an underage female staffer from Trump’s spa and the first thought that occurred to Trump wasn’t “that’s weird that Jeff needs an underage female to work for him at his home”. Or “hey, that’s creepy, even for me, Donald Trump, maybe I should look into that.”

I disagree with MAGA people on many things. But, could set everything aside for a sec and agree that sex trafficking is an abomination?  if we can, is it possible that we could also agree that pardoning a convicted sex trafficker would also be an abomination?

Pope Francis leaves a legacy of justice, faith, and compassion. I was honored to be on his escort committee for his 2015 address to Congress. He said: “Building a future of freedom requires love of the common good and cooperation in a spirit of subsidiarity and solidarity.”
