One thing that's been reaffirmed to me during this #Helene disaster in #NorthCarolina:
We have a lot of crises in the U.S., but few are as significant as the information crisis. People are lying to us to make us hate each other, to get our money, to boost some cause or another.

Twitter’s destruction is not on accident.Twitter is where organizing happened, where scientist shared real covid info, where folks with disabilities built community to find mutual aid . It’s where folks from Palestine taught folks from Ferguson how to handle teargas from police.

Potentially unpopular opinion: if you can’t teach the whole curriculum without homework, your curriculum is the problem. Kids aren’t“quiet quitting” by expecting to only do work @ school. After 7-8 hrs of work, they should expect to protect their peace & find joy when they leave

This is Buckhorn School. I have spoken here before and they were some of the most kind people I have ever met. Absolutely heartbreaking.

I just saw a comment on TikTok that Planned Parenthood performed 400 million abortions last year. Just presented as absolute straight up data. That is like three times the total number of female humans in the United States.

Today was the first time that I have ever had an event regarding gun safety in Texas and I wasn’t protested by 40+ Men wielding A.R. 15‘s
There was not a single counter protester for the first time in my life protesting in Texas.
This time is different.

I’m limited by federal law to three shotgun shells at a time when duck hunting.
Its madness that waterfowl have more protections than American school children.

a lot of "weird towns" (portland, boulder, austin) are simply coasting on their claim to weirdness and havent had an old guy with a hat full of feathers who lives in a scrapyard art gallery house in ten years or more and none of the young genuine weirdos can afford rent there.

pro tip: your hot takes about "red states getting what they deserve" or "voting against their interests" aren't needed today. I am and always will be proud to be from a state that comes together in crisis despite barely having two pennies to rub together.

Why would any decent person be drawn to a political party that glorifies a disturbed teenager killing two people?

You mean it doesn't say in the (nonexistent) "handbook of how all foundations should operate" that all activity should be aligned with how to live in perpetuity rather than how to solve a planet-threatening crisis ASAP regardless of whether it allows you to exist in 20 years?

Four days after @GovBillLee signs the Open Carry bill into law, despite objection from law enforcement, there is violent shooting at the Knoxville Austin-East Magnet High School. He and the @NRA signaled they do not care for Tennessean’s safety. Thoughts and prayers won’t cut it.
