Righteousness in action. Texas A&M #philosophy professor calling out the institution for its "mandatory censorship review," which goes against his first amendment rights to free speech.

Drop the race and gender material from your course and the Plato readings, or teach a different course. You have a day to decide. That's a par...

A must-read about the data showing vaccinations for older Americans reduces #dementia risk -- or why NOT to listen to a word #RFK says. "In 21 studies involving more than 104 million participants in Europe, Asia & North America, vaccination against shingles was associated with a 24% reduction in the risk of developing dementia. Flu vaccination was linked to a 13% reduction. Those vaccinated for pneumococcal infection had a 36% reduction in #Alzheimer’s risk."
Vaccines Are Helping Older People More Than We Knew
Many shots seem to have “off-target” benefits, such as lowering the risk of dementia, studies have found.

"It’s no good pondering whether what just happened in #Venezuela was a “war crime” or mumbling about how perhaps #Congress should have been notified. There has to be an actual war before you can have war crimes, brothers and sisters. These were just straight-up crimes, committed by a criminal president and a criminal regime, and the entire world knows it." And #Epstein and #JackSmith.

After 6 hours of watching Jack Smith's testimony, it finally dawned on me what I find so inspiring about him. Of course, it's the truth-telling, the integrity, & the utter brilliance of the man but it's also his calmness, professionalism, & unwillingness to rise to #MAGA's foolish bait, esp. King fool Jim Jordan. & then I think of Smith's demeanor in relation to the outrageous, puerile, snotty, rude behavior of #Noem, #RFK, #Bondi, #Patel, etc. He is a hero for our time. #USPol #JackSmith
Jack Smith, hero & truth-teller, makes it clear that Trump (and the others), in trying to overturn the election, was trying to overthrow the government. "Overthrowing the government," to my ears, hits even harder than overturning the election. The election is specific in time, 2020. The government goes back -- way back to 1789. Jack Smith's deposition is required viewing & needs to be done in a public forum. Like all the other special prosecutors. #USPol #JackSmith
