Teaching about

The enslavement, lynching, murder, brutalization, and dehumanization of Black people

The violent, murderous, racist terrorism of the KKK

The genocide of Native Americans and theft of their land

Systemic racism

…is not #CriticaRaceTheory, it’s American history

If your argument is strong, there is no need to leave out context and inconvenient facts. To do so demonstrates the weakness of the argument and a lack of ethics.

Waiting for one in every three Arkansans to die of Covid is one hell of a position to take.

U.S. military and diplomatic personnel face tremendous difficulties due to Centers for Disease Control’s sudden decision to ban entry of dogs from 113 countries. This petition aims to change that.
Dog rabies is something for which we’ve long had a vaccine.

Rep. Liz Cheney on Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s move to pull members off the Jan. 6 committee and launch a separate investigation:

"The idea that anybody would be playing politics with an attack on the United States Capitol is despicable and disgraceful.”

When I first heard the term "firestorm" I thought it was a little over the top but it really isn't hyperbole at all.

They're storms generated by & infused with fire. It took me a bit to fully comprehend that.

At a climate conference for the electric utility industry, Joe Manchin says he supports climate action but wants a less "aggressive" timeline

Spoiler alert: we all want a less aggressive timeline.

Climate change doesn't give a shit about what we want.

Gohmert and Marjorie Traitor Greene should discuss this on national broadcast.

During a House Natural Resources hearing on combatting #climatechange, Louie Gohmert asked: “Is there anything that the National Forest Service or BLM (Bureau of Land Mgmt) can do to change the course of the moon’s orbit or the Earth’s orbit?”🤯

Thinking this morning of all the PE teachers and school coaches who I saw throughout my childhood call boys and young men "ladies" and "girls" as a way of, uh, "motivating" them and now claim that using the correct pronouns for trans kids goes against their religion.

It would be helpful if the US would finally acknowledge its contributions to destabilization and regime change in the region.

Doing so can help us change US foreign policy, trade policy, climate policy, & carceral border policy to address causes of mass displacement & migration.

I've got 3 big tax proposals that would raise more than $6 trillion to #BuildBackBetter – enough to pay for every single penny of President Biden’s #AmericanJobsPlan, every single penny of his #AmericanFamiliesPlan, and still have about $2 trillion left over.

20 companies are responsible for 1/3 of all carbon emissions

Exxon is 4th on the list

Exxon just released a climate plan, says they're "reducing emissions"

A close read shows that's a lie https://t.co/cOEbBNJvT9
