Wes Moore has SC crowd absolutely rapt. “The American people don’t care how many programs we fund on affordable housing if they still can’t afford to pay for a down payment. Urgency is the agent of change. You know who understands that pretty well? Donald Trump.”

“Fixing climate change is too expensive.” Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing. Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Taking food away from kids families, shifting costs to Wisconsin taxpayers, and increasing red tape to make it harder for parents, kids, people with disabilities, and seniors to get the help they need. This is a lose-lose-lose for Wisconsin.

A lot of people don't seem to understand why phrases like "Some of my best friends are Black, how can I be racist" are problematic. It's not what you think of the Black people you know that makes you racist. It's what you think of the ones you don't know. Same with everything.

Was a huge mythology nerd, growing up; had a VERY similar emotional conversation with my own mom, about Medusa, the Gorgon from Classical [a/k/a Greco-Roman or Greek] mythology. I have always been staunchly pro-Medusa 🐍✨

Who is this “god” they worship? This god of guns but not of grace. This god of greed but not generosity. This god of the womb but not of the woman. This god who cannot hear children cry. This god who fears dark skin. This god of America but not all of America? That's the Devil, yo.

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

I am always amazed by the number of readers who have no idea what authors make on their books. Most think we are raking it in. Unless you are one of the authors in the rarefied air at the top, basically you’re making hobby money. You have to love writing to stick with it. #writer #writingcommunity
