If you’re not educated, you’re easily controlled.

Public schools level the playing field and celebrate free thought.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I was just detained by ICE for 10 days despite being a citizen carrying Real ID. But at least I know the Oberlin Student Senate won’t be doing land acknowledgements any more.

Remember the claim that we couldn't force a rush to renewables too soon, because it just wouldn't be fair to "developing nations" (i.e. the global majority world)? Welp, turns out they're willing and eager to get in on renewables, and are doing really, really well with them. So.

Two things can be true. Men do feel “scolded.” Men also need to be shown how to care about equity in a way that isn’t packaged by certain parts of the left.

It’s not easy. It’s complicated. And that’s why no one wants to do it.

We can have sympathy for loss of life, while also not sweeping under the rug, the realities of a person.
