Before I begin, I know. Twitter (called some other name I can’t seem to recall for whatever reason) is now being run by someone with a keen interest on spreading misinformation and rightwing rhetoric. Yadda yadda yadda. This is not the point of the...

When empathy isn't mutual, it enables hate and then violence. Single group empathy is self-defeating bigotry. As a Jew, the growing incidence of antisemitism terrifies me. So does mindless mob violence. Acquiesce to state-sponsored mass murder...

My problem with Jim Jordan starts with how he’s a moronic, right-wing insurrectionist, but it doesn’t end there. I also don’t like that he’s a former wrestler, and thus serves as a representative of the sport. And I imagine how easy it must be to...
