Jill and I are devastated to hear about today’s shooting at the Chabad Poway synagogue. No one should have to worship in fear.
As a country, we must speak out against bigotry and gun violence. We’re in the battle for the soul of this nation—and it’s on all of us to act.
The purpose of a PhD should not be training for *one* specific job. The purpose of a PhD should be to develop problem solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills as preparation for *any* job. #PhDchat
Sorry I haven’t tweeted in a while. My son introduced me to this game called Hay Day, and now every time I open my phone to do anything, I just wind up harvesting crops and relocating my silo.
Are you surprised that rich parents are bribing their rich kiddies into top schools? Shocked, even? Don't be. In the Age of Trump, when even fundamentalist Christians wink at the president's flagrant adulteries, such behavior comes to seem normal.
.@NRA opposition to a full reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act is sickening. We must do more to protect victims of stalking and abuse. It makes no sense to allow those who perpetrated the abuse to have access to deadly firearms. We must stand up now for survivors.
The Attorney General’s repeated justifications for withholding grand jury material — instead of seeking court approval to release it — simply don’t add up.
We fought to ensure Mueller could finish his work. And we will fight to ensure Mueller’s report is not buried.
Stoning people to death for homosexuality or adultery is appalling and immoral. Every single person on earth is entitled to be treated with dignity and to live without fear. There is no excuse—not culture, not tradition—for this kind of hate and inhumanity.
Here’s a story about people doing good that's worth sharing: @BradPaisley and his wife @Kimwilliamspais saw food insecurity in Nashville and decided to do something about it. They just broke ground on a free grocery store to help families in need: https://t.co/o6pcAApZsm
The media should not refer to multiple homocides at a mosque as a mass shooting. It is terrorism. One suspect in custody is a white nationalist. Let's call it like it is.
My heart breaks for all those at the Al Noor and Linwood Mosques and for the great people of New Zealand. It is the most beautiful country I have ever seen, and Kiwis are the kindest people I have ever met.
I really love "back on my bullshit" because it implies:
1) you have bullshit to be on (proud of you for that);
2) you took a little break (for self-care, maybe?); and
3) now you're back, refreshed, and on your bullshit.
