Today I mourn the death of Charlie Kirk. While I disagreed with much of his politics, I respected his intelligence, composure, and his dedication to encouraging dialogue across differences on campus. His murder not only cut short the life of a vibrant young man, but also struck

Deleting emails won’t erase the truth or the consequences. Fauci directed NIH staff to destroy records and circumvent oversight, an obstruction of accountability, not science. It’s time he faces Congress and answers for the damage done. washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…

“Censoring knowledge, telling people what they must think and what ideas are impermissible, which lines of evidence may not be pursued, is the aperture to thought police, foolish and incompetent decision-making, and long-term decline.” ― Carl Sagan

None of us were given the opportunity for "informed consent" to make a decision on whether or not the benefit of taking the Covid vaccine otutweighed the risk. Much of the best science regarding serious side effects (myocariditi), lack of protection for transmission, waning

Brilliant. Bill Maher lays out the terms for a deal to tone down the culture war and keep the country. What each side must do to say no to its crazies. If you are in the middle 80% of the country, please watch: youtube.com/watch?v=2ZkjMU…

Where are you? Taliban just cut off internet in Afghanistan. Girls already banned from schools now lose online education too. A total blackout on knowledge = a blackout on the future. This isn’t “culture” , it is called apartheid against women. What’s the difference between

Very important: schools can spend a lot of mental health money on programs taught by adults and get little benefit. Or they can spend little and get big benefits from rolling back the screen-based school day and giving more play, recess, and social interaction. Let Grow

I worked with gifted black and brown kids in Washington, D.C. in the mid-90s and I always find these attempts, almost always in the name of racial equity, to be such a slap in the face to those kids who finally got to feel normal for once in their life. They NEEDED to be around

This is as pure a distillation of academic bigotry as one could ever expect to see openly expressed. The bigotry undermines science. Academic group think supported unscientific ideas like lockdowns, mask mandates, immunity denial, vax mandates and so much covid era nonsense.

I don’t understand why RFK is so consistently maligned by the press. Many of his concerns about vaccine safety seem to be raised in good faith. Pharmaceutical companies have strong incentives to discourage deeper scrutiny of potential risks.

You filled the streets by the hundreds of thousands “for Palestine”, claiming it’s about humanity and dead children. But when Black communities are massacred, when African migrants are enslaved in Libya, when minorities suffer under authoritarian regimes, you vanish. All what

"The idea that we should monitor each other’s beliefs and report them to a central authority is incompatible with a free society". Why FIRE is now judging bias-reporting systems more harshly eternallyradicalidea.com/p/why-fire-is-…

Any belief system that denies people autonomy, respect, or dignity should be challenged. That’s not “Islamophobic” - it’s pro-human. Defending universal human rights isn’t intolerance; it’s standing for every person’s right to freedom and dignity.

More people have now been killed by Arab militia in Sudan than in the entire two years of the war in Gaza. Women, children, murdered in cold blood. Where are the marchers, where are the chants? Or is this genocide not fashionable enough for you?

Say her name : Roya Heshmatiam She is a woman lashed 74 times in Iran for crime of removing her hijab in public. No one is marching for her. She does not fit the agenda. Do you feel the same ?

As a former professor, I couldn’t imagine singling out some of my students based on their race or ethnicity and specifically trying to make them uncomfortable. And then basically telling them they should feel that way. And then publishing about it. Insane.
