The Olivia Wilde interview where she said men don’t need an encouraging word really made my blood boil. This mentality held by a lot of women—that all boys and men are doing just fine because they have “privilege”—is so destructive today. That’s why I wrote this piece for the LA Times.
A shift in public perspective is overdue, and progress can accelerate if women—particularly those with liberal values—champion this cause, because the future isn’t female: The future is everyone.
It’s time to find compassion for boys and men. Please share with women!

@Mynorthwest@KIROCharlie@WAPolicyGreen The Real Data: According to @Lazard financial data, unsubsidized wind ($37-$86/MWh) and solar ($38-$78) remain the cheapest forms of new energy generation in the US. Even paired with battery storage ($50-$131), they routinely beat natural gas peaker plants ($138-$262). /4
@Mynorthwest@KIROCharlie@WAPolicyGreen The Cost Trick: WPC calculates "effective cost" by forcing wind to act as a 24/7 standalone baseload, ignoring the massive amounts of ultra-cheap energy it safely pumps into the grid the other 350 days a year. It judges an entire system solely by its worst-case hour. /3
This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation.
This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal.
The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.
Settler violence in the West Bank has intensified under cover of the Israeli-American attack on Iran.
Since 28 February, armed settler militias, operating with military backing, have been entering Palestinian communities daily and attacking families inside their homes with clubs, stones, tear gas and live fire.
The militias’ violence is expanding, shifting from attacks on small, isolated communities to assaults on large villages and towns.
Since late February, settlers have killed 5 Palestinians. Four entire communities, home to 33 Palestinian families, have been forced off their land after their lives were made impossible by a pattern of repeated attacks.
These militias are another arm of Israel’s apartheid regime, enjoying full backing, arming and total impunity. The daily, lethal violence they initiate is a central tool in Israel’s policy of dispossessing and expelling Palestinians from their land.
Ethnic cleansing in the West Bank is happening now.
