Can we start a trend?

In every code review, make sure to say at least one nice thing about the person's work. People tend to provide almost exclusively criticism, because praise feels awkward to deliver. But it becomes easy with practice!

If a wealth tax or higher income taxes on the super-rich wouldn't work because "they would just find a way to avoid it," why is every rich person fighting as hard as possible to make sure those taxes don't get passed?

I’m a 6 year Marine Corps veteran.

Signing my life away, I found temporary relief from poverty.

I was homeless once I wasn’t needed any longer.

Most people who I served with stayed in because they’d have nowhere else to go.

Thank veterans by ending poverty & war.

It is so unfortunate that when teachers educate their students about racism, some parents call it “indoctrination”—and when teachers DO NOT educate their students about racism, those same parents call it “education.”

I follow a lot of political scientists who study democracy and authoritarianism. Every single one of them is saying things like this.
