President Biden has lost something critical in his standing with young progressives: the sense that he's the morally superior alternative to Trump.

Whatever the progressive vanguard feel about Trump those who view the Gaza war as genocide can only lay that at the feet of Biden.

I recently joined Braver Angels to help spin up a Red and Blue group here in Snohomish County.

I'm also on the board of Mainstream Republicans of WA (mentioned in the article).

How about all of you guys? Interested in bringing back civility?

'Simpson's death brought to mind the realities of race in America, the work we still have to do in understanding each other and the need to vigilantly polish the moral lenses through which we see the world,' columnist John Wood Jr. writes. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

We’re proud to partner with our friends Braver Angels for this 2-hr debate on the topic, 'Resolved: Be Colorblind.'

In our current cultural climate, words and phrases such as colorblindness, racelessness, DEI, and (in)equality evoke intense reactions among many. Is an emphasis

NO, another civil war is NOT the solution. We can't abandon our country or Constitution to 'save' it. We're not the revolutionaries. They are.

I thought that was an extremely compelling movie with a very cheap and disappointing ending.

All the same, I encourage people to see it. It is not an unimaginable trajectory for our country.

Discussion over the morality of atomic warfare in WW2 must acknowledge the strategic considerations of the time.

War is ALWAYS hell.

Yet if it’s true that there would have been more American *and* Japanese casualties absent the A-bomb, you must explain WHY this was still

🧵The expectation of ancient greek philosophy--say, stoicism or epicureanism--was that by understanding the mind, you would achieve peace.

It's interesting to compare that to modern studies of the mind. If you become a psychologist and have an utterly tumultuous personal life..

Lauren has been criticized for having a biracial child. For not perpetuating the genetic legacy of the Anglo Saxon.

But she has something better than supposed racial purity:

She has pure love - and a human bond that explains the joy and fulfillment she exudes in this post.

The Nazi’s were very hospitable to WEB Du Bois when he visited Germany. But Du Bois was a critic of American racial politics, and presenting Nazi Germany in a favorable light to Du Bois to arm him in his criticisms of the American government had propaganda value at the time.

I do not think that Owens ever met Hitler. If someone can produce a source on this I’d like to see it. But Hitler was revolted by Black people. And he was not happy when the Aryan supremacy narrative was interrupted by the triumph of Joe Louis over Max Schmeling.

Several thousand Africans were exterminated by the Nazis during World War II. The main reason more of them weren’t killed is because there simply weren’t that many in Europe.

Look at any chart of the racial hierarchy of superiority from Nazi Germany and you’ll see Africans

Most of my life is proof that this is not true.

But there will be times when you have to confront complicating feelings in one direction or the other.

I don’t view that as anything to be afraid of. Just one more part of growing up.
