MAGA claims real men are tough, fearless, and unbreakable. Reality? They lack vulnerability and emotional intelligence, qualities that take real strength. Their “manliness” is just bullying and insecurity hiding behind guns and bravado. True strength is feeling, listening, and growing.

We are the legacy of 15 billion years of cosmic evolution. We have a choice: We can enhance life and come to know the universe that made us, or we can squander our 15 billion-year heritage in meaningless self-destruction. ~ Carl Sagan

🧵IR scholars, let's start a thread of what we know that's relevant for a US attack on Iran. Won't change any minds, but might help us teach this crisis and learn new angles. Please add (incl. your own work!), forgive/correct omissions. Nobody can cover everything and it's great to find new work. 1/?

“I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” said U.S. District Judge William Young, who was appointed by Ronald Reagan. politi.co/44hv1qq

Also, how this is included in history textbooks is really important. The Tea Party is discussed now in most major U.S. history textbooks, and it even appears in the World Civilizations (!) textbook that we use on my campus. It's afforded that much significance.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!” Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.” You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/a-well-reg...

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Here is the video for the world to see. DHS officers came to my Congressional office to intimidate my staff and office. There were no protesters. There was no riot. This is an extraordinary Executive Branch overreach into Congress, a co-equal branch of government and this is totally unacceptable.

Today in 1989, in “Operation Desert Glow,” more than 70 armed agents from the FBI and the EPA raided the Department of Energy’s Rocky Flats Plant 21 miles northwest of Denver, Colorado, to investigate illegal incineration of plutonium-contaminated wastes and other serious environmental crimes.

This is both a fascinating and important read. People tackling big athletic events after cancer treatment are not just motivated to be more healthy, the body is subliminally telling them it's the best way to protect themselves.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

⚠️ For those unfamiliar with the term “remigration,” it does not only mean deportation of undocumented immigrants but also the expulsion of non-white people to the country of their racial or ethnic ancestral origin without regard to their citizenship, legal status, or place of birth.
