Iranian team refused to sing the official Iranian anthem at #FIFAWorldCup2022 as a sign of support for protesters in their homeland.

Admire everyone who is fighting for freedom and democracy! The price of freedom is so high but it's the only option.

⚡️ BREAKING: #Iran football team captain defies regime, backs protests: “We have to accept that conditions in our country are not right & our people are not happy. They should know that we are with them. And we support them. And we sympathize with them regarding the conditions.”

It wasn’t about making a political statement – human rights are non-negotiable. That should be taken for granted, but it still isn’t the case. That’s why this message is so important to us.

Denying us the armband is the same as denying us a voice. We stand by our position.

Guess this is it, so I'd better get one last tweet in?? Gonna miss it. Will never not laugh at #SpaceKaren

Right about the halfway mark is when my mind exploded

European starlings are so good at mimicry, they can even do human speech.

Still an hour to kick off and energy is already HIGH. Let's go Roots! #OAKvBHM

Feels like a good time to revisit the Doctrine of Discovery: the Christian legal theory with which Europeans gave themselves the right to colonize the globe.

It asserted that Christian Nations became the rightful owner of any land they found occupied by non-Christian people.

The pace of writing, the flow, the sound of the chalk, the lack of toxic marker smell...I love me a chalkboard. ❤️

In @thenation today, my piece unpacking the idea of “COVID fatigue” and challenging the (seemingly straightforward) claim that the general public is tired of responding to the pandemic.

I learned some things about feline poxvirus as an EXAMPLE to talk about a similar virus. If a cat gets a catpox, it can spread to cat people.

If there’s an outbreak & only cat folks can be tested, it will seem like ONLY cats or cat people get it. Cats start getting dirty looks.
