Mr. Obama sir we tried to tell you that you were running with a bad crowd (billionaires), they’re bad news

www.cnn.com/2025/10/31/p...

People who know Obama say he has been surprised and appalled in how many of the rich people who now form his social circle have made concessions to Trump. He's
reaching out to business and other institutional leaders, urging them not to bend to the current administration even if it
helps their bottom lines.

I also spent a solid 20 minutes trying to get the moment directly before a tern dives into the water. I wasn't successful, but I did get some really pretty tern shots 😍

New article just published! I address Bill Gates' recent pivot away from climate change, and explain why his message is both dangerous (emboldening climate deniers) and incoherent (climate change mitigation is inextricably bound up with alleviating global poverty). GRRRR!!!

FYI I think there is a missing word (perhaps 'mitigation') in the clause "but climate change is a form of foreign aid."

Gates' implication that responsibly addressing climate change exacerbates poverty is nonsense; thanks for making that clear!

What a disgusting comment, and it's hardly been the only one along these lines.

First off, the question was from a person seemingly to my left, about my interfaith marriage. I'm a public figure, and people are curious, and I wasn't going to avoid the question.

Second, my Christian faith tells me the Gospel is true and is good for human beings. My wife--as I said at the TPUSA--is the most amazing blessing I have in my life. She herself encouraged me to reengage with my faith many years ago. She is not a Christian and has no plans to convert, but like many people in an interfaith marriage--or any interfaith relationship--I hope she may one day see things as I do. Regardless, I'll continue to love and support her and talk to her about faith and life and everything else, because she's my wife.

Third, posts like this wreak of anti-Christian bigotry. Yes, Christians have beliefs. And yes, those beliefs have many consequences, one of which is that we want to share them with other people. That is a completely normal thing, and anyone who's telling you otherwise has an agenda. https://x.com/ezralevant/sta/ezralevant/status/1984072547357618408

The event occurred at a university. Ole Miss should lose its accreditation for hosting this.

🚨 JD Vance just claimed that when settlers arrived in the New World, they “found widespread child sacrifice,” adding that “Christian civilization ended the practice.”

Archaeologists, including those specializing in North American history, are calling this a flat-out lie. There is no evidence of widespread child sacrifice among First Nations.

To say that about Indigenous people is historically false, deeply racist, and disgustingly revisionist.
