    The activities should focus on telling conservatives how to integrate many problems that can be solved simultaneously fixed in away that enables creating the wealth to create the wealth to manufacture and install the infrastructure. The collectors of Renewable Green Energy can't fix the shortcomings of the source. Conservatives are more likely to buy into a project when wealth can be made. God gave mankind the source of energy and 2 steps on down the line.

    Thank you for this interview! It was recorded before the summer of 2024, no? Anyway, I definitely feel we are in discouraging times - it is way easier to tear down than it is to build. As an educator I do not want to retreat or pivot, but as Crenshaw says, we are in an asymmetrical war. I feel that fighting for equity must be done through the arts and pop culture; educating young minds through emotional storytelling.

    Ma'am, why are you spreading this propaganda and taking accountability away from abusive parents? I was in the system and aged out. I also know the history of Christian families who wanted to save these children. No, it is not perfect. But, tell the truth about the homes that are dysfunctional. Instead of demonizing the safety net for the children.

    Dorothy Roberts's books have provided the research necessary to describe the water we swim in every day. Her words have given me the language to advocate alongside Black parents in my community. As James Baldwin so eloquently stated, "The victim who is able to articulate the situation of the victim has ceased to be a victim: he or she has become a threat."

    I referenced David Malo in College. He was critical of the monarchy and how the commoners were treated by royalty. His book really explains why many Hawaiians choose to be Christian. I brought this up to my Hawaiian Studies teacher to counter their narrative of old Hawaii as a utopia. And he got mad at me and said Malo was a liar and influenced by the missionaries.

    Strong man doesn't necessarily mean something bad what's the opposite of that a weak man? A weak man is preferred and is much more confident than a strong man? You need to put things into context. There are strong man who uses their strength for good and they're a strong man who uses their strength for evil depends on contacts and the situation how they use their abilities but being strong and capable by itself does not make you evil this woman's an idiot
