From the lab to the legislature: STEM professionals run for political office

More than 200 science, technology, engineering, and math professionals are candidates at the state and municipal level this year.

It is difficult talking to someone that has only been fed the lies from the right with regards to the trans community... heraring the "they're performing surgeries on children" lie repeated and they're unwilling to accept their sources lied to them...

Tried to get him to see that it is the same kind of othering people from his faith went through early on...

They lie about the people different because they need to other someone... if it wasn't trans people it would be gays, or races...

The new term? Trump isn’t lying, “directionally correct—or sometimes directionally accurate” — the facts are wrong but if they weren’t he’d be right.

Uh. This makes no sense.

Stop urban sprawl, destroying habitat for homes and carwashes. Money is the root of wildlife destruction.
