We should be unequivocally critical of this wave of militarization and repression. I’m simultaneously worried that an inward turn in the news cycle (which is…notable) is taking eyes off Rafah and Gaza generally. Not for protesters but for the wider public. How do we navigate it? (Serious question.)

I am watching police officers assault professors and students at Emory, snipers lining up on the roofs at IU and Ohio State. My academic colleagues: There is no excuse for staying silent. State violence & threats of violence against nonviolent protestors are unacceptable. Period.

if you paid taxes this year you likely paid on avg $249 to Lockheed Martin, $87 dollars to Boeing, and $12 to SpaceX. you literally paid elon musk, who's worth almost 200 billion dollars, directly out of your own pocket. you're paying him while he sits there and replies "Wow" to Andy Ngo on twitter

This loaded upside down and I think it reflects my mood as of late - changing my perspective and seeing new ways towards new possibilities. Has your world been as topsy-turvy as mine?

Remember: Most billionaires are not “self-made.” They’re made via a combination of inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, labor exploitation, and policy failures. Can we stop perpetuating a myth that blames wealth inequality on the choices of everyday Americans?

The transition to clean energy is being driven by favorable economics. “With current power prices, the traditional baseload plants will struggle, unless we face longer periods with very unfavorable solar and wind conditions, drought or strong heat" AFAIK, this was not predicted by anyone.

[late 2029, somewhere on social media] “I regret turning the internet/democracies into goo at ACME AI, Inc, and lucratively cashing out, but now I’m thrilled to announce I’m joining [University/Non-profit] as the head of policy. Let’s fix this mess!”

Trump's 2016 election made me give up flexing my political muscles - lame, but true. I've started leaning in again, learning more about the current state of the union and listening to Sanders' podcast. It's the best! Biggest takeaway: Bernie never stops fighting and neither should we.
