Beth Lewis, SOSAZ
@AZBethLewis [Save Our Schools AZ] Thank you Senator Ken Bennett for taking a principled stand and voting NO to kill #SCR1013 — a cruel attack on trans youth in our schools. Keeping this disgusting measure off the 2024 ballot will spare many from pain & harm. Shame on the other 15 R Senators who voted yes

“Republicans lost in 2020, but their reaction was to double-down, become more extreme, and get behind Trump’s ‘Stolen Election’ narrative. Trump is thus the preeminent symbol of the GOP’s post-2020 lurch toward the crazy surrealist Right. That is partly why he maintains his status as party leader: he justifies in the minds of MAGA ideologues that becoming more extreme was the right thing to do.”

THEY SAID IT
“One of my academic colleagues, when I was asking him about its significance [of A.I.], said the most perceptive thing that I have heard about it. He said, ‘It’s the first major new way of knowing for mankind since the invention of the scientific method.’ ” — Larry Summers former U.S. Treasury secretary (The Good Fight Podcast)
