@dcdmv getting my car inspected continues to be one of the best interactions I have with a government process of any kind. Showed up with 3 kids, out in 5 min. Didn’t event have to get them out of the car. Thank you!

Grateful to @HalBrands and @JHUPress for the opportunity to document and reflect on my experience leading the "Tiger Team" that planned the U.S. response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in Feb 2022: https://t.co/FjNRqr6ib3

When you are encouraged to feel moral outrage or contempt, it can ignite the need for retaliation that can be very dangerous, leading 70% of Americans to see political violence as likely, says @PeterTColeman1 at @PellCenter #RhodeIsland #courageousRI

I can’t justify this, but I found it calming. Also, my 8 year old just told me she knew about tardigrades from Magic School Bus, so I’m also feeling like a good parent. Banner day.

@SlaughterAM @Medium I love these questions:

— What might I be misperceiving?
— Why might I want to believe this to be true?
— What would I need to know to be certain?

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
