In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Today marks 3 years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Instead of siding with our allies and long-standing values, this Administration is cozying up to Putin. It’s shameful. Freedom and democracy worldwide are at stake.

Trump's attack on NIH funding is a reckless attack on science, innovation, and the people who depend on them. It will gut critical research, kill jobs, and put lives at risk—especially in the #MA7, a global hub for cutting-edge research. My full statement:

At least $12 trillion from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

The least humane religionists are often those who've shelved their Bibles or Qurans. Christianity Today's editor-in-chief warns that US evangelical Christianity is lurching so far to the right that it's considering Jesus' teachings "weak." How can a Christian eschew Christ himself?

The US president just attacked a female bishop for saying Christian things in a Christian sermon, calling her a "so-called bishop", not "smart", and "not very good at her job." And no one will blink an eye. It won't be a controversy or a big story. All normalized. Welcome to the next 4 years.

🚨Make it make sense! Republicans are relentlessly attacking Medicare, ACA, & Social Security, while many of their own voters in non-coastal states are the very people who desperately need access to healthcare. These are communities with rampant 🚬+🍻 use, poor diets🍟, & overall unhealthy lifestyles.
