I've been getting some pushback from homeschooling parents for suggesting that homeschooled children are more vulnerable to abuse. Guys, we have got to set aside defensiveness & talk honestly about our communities. Homeschooling parent fragility is a real problem.🧵

I had some words for Cosplay Crusader Pete Hegseth and his Pastor Doug Wilson, who doesn't believe in the 19th Amendment or the separation of Church and State. Thanks to my Jesuit High School for teaching me the Bible.

It's our home. This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

“WHO’S HAIR LOOKED BEST IN SPACE” AND THE CREW WENT SO DAMN UNSERIOUS!
