About the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism :: he/him
Joined April 2010
The huge gap between the pay of teachers vs. the pay of cops/sheriffs in Los Angeles should be one of the great scandals of modern local government. It reflects a deep moral rot in our society, and a profoundly anti-science approach to both public safety and human flourishing.

Everything about this story is wildly disturbing. 90 million in private funds being raised to tear down a forest and build a militarized police training facility. Now this… #stopcopcity

The police's guilt-by-association allegations aren't designed to get convictions, but to break up a movement.

Billy Joel should play the Super Bowl halftime show and just sing “halftime show” to the tune of Uptown Girl the whole time.

Or going to jail for 5 years.
If actors are going to be held criminally liable for trusting a prop master or AD, @sagaftra and @ActorsEquity need to immediately issue new guidelines giving actors the right to refuse handling any functioning weapon without losing a job.

The House Republicans from Georgia aren't going to be given food or water while they are waiting to vote, right?

“If the cartels can engage in human trafficking we can too!” -Deputy Press Secretary for Ron DeSantis.
Do the cartels that smuggle humans call Florida or Texas before illegal immigrants wash up on our shores or cross over the border? No. Welcome to being a state on the Southern border, Massachusetts.

Congrats @sunrisemvmt & youth climate advocates. You know you’re doing something right when oil executives feel insecure enough to track & belittle you. ❤️💪🏽🇺🇸
New documents obtained by my committee @OversightDems show Big Oil executives ridiculing youth activists who are fighting for climate action and even wishing that kids from @sunrisemvmt get bed bugs. It's just appalling.

The tragedy in Pakistan is a stark reminder of climate injustice. The top map shows which nations are most responsible for excess emissions. The bottom map shows which nations are most impacted by it. Climate breakdown is playing out along colonial lines.

Today I learned that sea urchins naturally use shells as hats to feel safer and camouflage. So some aquarists decided to 3d print tiny hats for them

But what if we don't expect police to be everything and funded public health instead?
The Safer American Plan, aimed at reducing gun crime, is based on a "simple notion," says Pres. Biden: "The answer is not to defund the police; it's fund the police." He adds, "We expect them to do everything...to protect us, to be psychologists, to be sociologists."
