This is the way.

A high school freshman track athlete took second place behind a trans athlete, and a Republican leader used the situation to push hateful propaganda. The girl responds:

"I don't feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points... No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby."

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

@AngelaPreston @DeliaChristina I can only speak for the university I know, not Columbia, but almost the entirety of our endowment is made up of directed giving. So it supports useful things, like specific research areas, or student financial aid, but it is not available to be repurposed to things not enumerated by the donor. It is an impressive pile of money, but it's not a panacea.

At the start of COVID, we all learned how to beat airborne viruses like the flu: by wearing masks and staying home when we are sick. It's a real shame we haven't translated those important lessons into long-term behavioral change.

Abandoned America Feb 24

A few things, before I'm "corrected":

- "Chornobyl" and "Prypiat" are the Ukrainian spellings of "Chernobyl" and "Pripyat" and thus the ones that I choose to use out of respect for their sovereignty.

- If you're about to say "You're Abandoned America and this isn't America" just... don't. I hereby acknowledge your brilliance in geography for noticing. Nothing further is needed at this time.
