Husband, Aba, teacher. Tweet about things that matter: politics, Caps, Spurs, Dodgers, maybe a laugh thrown in for sanity. Big fan of decent human beings.

I need to tell my nine-year-old about today's mass-murder shooting, this one in an elementary school, before she hears it from friends. And I am struggling for the words. I'm her father, I'm supposed to help her make sense of the world. But this makes no sense. None. #NotOneMore

@hulu_support Yes, to watch the games I’ve already paid for, I’ll have to give one of the two corporate behemoths engaged in a greed fest more money. Thanks for your “support.”

[Michael Becker @superbecker]

So I can’t watch #Cal vs Louisville even though I subscribe(d) to @YouTubeTV and @hulu @hulu_support and @ESPNPlus ? A pox on both your houses.

@Tarik_ElBashir @_BenBecker Ok, but we’re longtime fans and good guys. Can you get my brother in? 😉 (You thought we were Tarik fans for life *before.*)

@RyanRosenblatt Ryan, I know we’ve never met, but with all our overlapping fandoms and communities, and as someone who has followed you for years, I’m just really happy for you. (And for lots of us!)

Love this meme.

@_BenBecker Add one point of Terps-Oregon State Women’s volleyball. We’re nothing if not versatile.

[Michael Becker @superbecker]

@_BenBecker That is more than fair. We watched literally ten seconds of soccer, basketball, hockey to honor sports equinox. Remote is at rest now. Turns out I *can* give something my undivided attention. (Are you listening, 8th grade me?)

coming up on the four year anniversary of this op-ed by former Trump chief of staff Mick Mulvaney

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

There are about 4 million Latino US citizen children w/at least one undocumented parent. So Homan is talking about deporting millions of US citizens in the name of family preservation-while Trump is counting on (& on track for) unprecedented support from Latinos, especially men

[NAACP @NAACP]

This country was absolutely built on hard work Dr. Phil…on the backs of Black, Brown, and lmmigrants from all across this WORLD! Many of which who were forced to do so!

SLAVERY.

Let us know when you’re ready to tell the WHOLE story.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

Trump chose this guy as his opening act at his rally in New York. Wisconsinites—including the more than 50,000 Wisconsinites of Puerto Rican descent—are paying attention.

[TrumpsTaxes (@trumpstaxes.com on bsky) @TrumpsTaxes]

Everyone must watch all 8 minutes and 24 seconds of this speech by Michelle Obama.

It might be the finest I’ve ever heard on the topic of abortion rights, as well as the stakes in this election for American women…and the men who love them.

@RyanRosenblatt I love everything about this tweet, and still hope we get the next four. Happy for you and us.
