@deandad @HarkinAtDrake @DrakeUniversity I'm doing well. About to start a stint as department chair and looking forward to the change. My oldest is in HS and younger has one more year in middle school.

@deandad @HarkinAtDrake @DrakeUniversity Congratulations!

Why is it only the Daily Mail who is bothering to point out that women's murders went unsolved -- and more people were victimized -- because a Long Island police chief was a criminal?

“Progressives descended upon the White House on Thursday to demand that U.S. President Joe Biden use his executive authority to cancel the Mountain Valley Pipeline and declare a climate emergency to expedite the end of the fossil fuel era.” https://t.co/yIqk5hEOQV

Our hearts are being ripped out by this current news plus the reality that our city will use this moment to fund more cop equipment.

Community-led programs in the city need these resources for immediate help. Healing, safety, alternatives.

My god, let there be an alternative!

"Shiny Happy People" is horrific. No other way to describe it. Whatever you've heard of the Duggar Family, I promise it's so much worse. And exceptional timing for this documentary to drop while evangelical extremists stir an anti-LGBTQ moral panic.

Massive content warning.

@RVAdirt IMPACT: A majority Black and Latino neighborhood will lose valuable green space and be subjected to additional air pollution and noise pollution, including carcinogens. Kids who play soccer will lose play space!

Requests from governments to take down tweets or hand over user data nearly doubled in the 6 months since Musk took over. Twitter hasn’t refused a single request.

This is the law firm that helped Gorsuch gut the Clean Air Act. This stinks to high heaven

Richmond has a decided LACK of affordable housing. Which Richmond officials know and just declared a housing crisis. Who are you and where do you live?

Robert F Kennedy Jr once put his muddy shoes in my family's clothes dryer. This probably does not tell you if you should or should not vote for him for president, but I think you should know.

@CarverEmily I'm a parent and I'm pretty sure my kid explores different aspects of their identity in different contexts. I'm okay with it. I'll hear about it when the time is right
