Using "low IQ" to describe Black leaders is a racist tactic, not a political stance. It’s dehumanizing, bigoted, and beneath the dignity of the presidency. Donald Trump’s rhetoric is a disgrace that continues to stain our country.

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

The 'Mozart of Math' rarely speaks about politics. The wide-ranging cuts to science funding made him change that.
