The problems with American education are mostly due to the system and reform efforts run by soulless technocrats as opposed to passionate educators. The decline in reading is one symptom. https://t.co/wf7XmtzOha
Putin turned cities from Grozny to Aleppo to Mariupol into rubble. China put more Muslims in camps in Xinjiang than the entire adult population of Gaza. But now, as Gaza deaths mount, the two autocracies are staking the moral high ground against the US. https://t.co/JUY3V3k67D
@GeoffyPJohnston 2 years of the Syrian civil war killed 5 times as many Arabs as the entire 100+ years of Palestinian and Jewish conflict. The number of displaced people 3x larger than the entire population of Gaza. People need perspective.
Remember how Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump made up to $640 million on the side while working in the White House?
Why aren't more people talking about that? https://t.co/5ECweusyyu
Absolutely incredible speech from @SachaBaronCohen at the 60th anniversary the of March on Washington.
"The idea that people of color are inferior is a lie.
The idea that Jews are dangerous and all powerful is a lie.
The idea that women are not equal to men is a lie
An the idea that queer people are a threat to our children is a lie."
When we see hate, we ALL have a choice, to choose differently.
Please note the Jacksonville gunman was in his early 20s. Implying that racism will simply evaporate after a certain generation is foolish and naive. It also absolves people from having to do any real work. Racism + white supremacy are thriving problems in our society that are not limited to age or generation.
A racist bigot walked into a store to murder Black people.
A racist bigot felt comfortable enough to walk into a store to murder Black people.
The far-right fascist movement, embraced by Gov @RonDeSantis, is murdering people.

@RacerxJax The woke athlete they blame for losing was just as woke when she won Olympic gold and 2 FIFA World Cups. Doesn't fit their narrative though.
@GregAbbott_TX I flat out reject the notion that trans individuals represent an ideology or a significant threat to the integrity of sport. If there is any problem it can be dealt with by the governing body of the sport. I can't find any statistics to justify the need for this legislation
@GregAbbott_TX Women's sports are doing great without any of your influence and you are doing nothing to save them. Stop creating bogus solutions in search of a problem and start showing leadership on the many complex problems that affect millions of Texans.
We must remember and teach our full history, even when it is painful.
The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument will ensure our nation continues to learn from our past.
This is what Fascism looks like with single party rule in Texas. A cautionary tale. party://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/25/texas-a-m-professor-opioids-dan-patrick/
