Nobody is telling Christians that we can’t preach or pray or have to give up our religion. What they are saying is that we have to give up the arrogant idea that this is a Christian nation, that our faith has a divine right to power, and that it is the standard and authority.

As Texas looks to prosecute women who have abortions--even out of state, remember it has over 3,500 untested rape kits.

That's how you know this is a war on women.

Today in the Starbucks drive-thru in Uvalde, the barista asked if I was taking time to take care of myself. I told her I would keep trying and returned the question.

She said she actually works in San Antonio, but is working here so that Uvalde baristas have time off to grieve.

Our innocent children deserve to feel safe more than our insecure men deserve to feel powerful.

Yes I want to come for your guns. I want to come for ALL the fucking guns you fucking fanatic NRA 2nd amendment worshipping assholes.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

In the past, our nations were more or less independent of each other. People lived in villages that were self-sufficient. So, the words 'we' and 'us' referred to a small circle of people. Today, the reality is different we are all brothers and sisters and we have to live together

[mkk @marykatekenney]

saw someone talk about how if Kim K, with all the money and resources in the world, can’t safely and simply divorce her husband without being harassed and stalked, then it’s about time we stop asking women in domestic violence situations the question “why doesn’t she just leave?”

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.

The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

The 8 year old is learning Python, and after a dealing with a syntax bug she asks: “If the computer knows I’m missing a semicolon here, why won’t it add it itself?”

I don’t know. I really don’t know.

the next big eating style trend will be “reduce your water footprint” diet. It’s one of the best I’ve seen that makes sense combining personal and planetary health

[Joe Holder @JoeHolder_]

a lot of despair in the world right now but if that’s all you ever focus on, shit gonna be miserable

finding your joy doesn’t mean apathy. you didn’t consent to existence, you can find ways to enjoy life while actively making the world a better place as well

Selenium against the government

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

News flash: If you ban mask mandates, outlaw abortions, dictate what educators can teach in schools, and stop people from voting, you're not the party of "limited government."

Looking forward to tonight's live stream with Lee Gonzalez from Guild Education. We worked together at SendGrid and he's done WAY more interviewing than I have. We're going to get into general Q&A, how he approaches screening and interviewing, and maybe do a resume review or two

I don't think people understand the toll that the pandemic is taking on healthcare workers. I treat many physicians & their families. I spent an entire session with a doc who just cried for over 20 minutes. They didn't have the ability to speak. The grief & trauma is overwhelming

[Melissa Ross @MelissainJax]

While I appreciate a lot of the criticism directed at this flight, at the same time this is a fantastic story and a triumph for a woman who refused to give up. #FlyWallyFly

Last week I configured the Advanced Plant Habitat and filled it with water to support the Plant Habitat-04 space botany experiment. The study is demonstrating growing peppers (an excellent source of vitamin C) in space for the first time.
