Ryan seems to hang quite a bit on the fact that he was a Green a quarter century ago. Maybe it would actually be worthwhile for BP to interview some of the 150+ Greens who hold local elected office across the United States today. Or have a discussion with Green Party members in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania who have stood in solidarity on picket lines with striking workers. Or Green Party members who are making the case to friends and neighbors in communities across the country about why it actually makes sense to vote for the only candidate who has centered Palestinian humanity and opposition to genocide who is on more than enough state ballots to reach 270. It's very frustrating to constantly watch Green Party members talked about in this abstract, dismissive tone without actually giving us an opportunity to speak for ourselves. If it was good enough for RFKJ voters, it's good enough for us, too.

Please cover what has been going on in Nepal this week.

Ryan, Krystal, Emily, and Saggar all reflect the public face of what American discourse should be.

I spent 22 years protecting the rights for people to vehemently and enthusiastically disagree with my beliefs. Not once did I ever think about picking up the weapon I've been highly trained to take life with, and silence them.

I rarely align with Krystal and her vocalized opinion annoys me much more than Ryan's, but I grow and expand my personal opinion by listening to them. I'm swayed and educated by listening to their points, regardless of how much I may think they are wrong.

I sit here feeling the mix of heartbreak and confusion about the nation I destroyed my youthful morality defending through multiple wars for.

The murder of a human, a father, a husband, was not the result of reason, truth, or righteous cause. It was the act of a madman, someone consumed by the distorted belief that violence on behalf of a “philosophical side” could somehow give meaning or justice. It was not rational......
