No wonder Black people rolled their eyes at all the BLM posts and protest appearances by white people. Completely clocked that their "activism" was a trendy performance for other white ppl. Nary a peep about the death of the VRA now they have a new fashion issue trend. No respect for Black voters.
There may well be active duty troops in the Middle East right now who have family members locked in ICE jails. Congress authorized Military Parole-in-Place specifically to avoid this situation. But the Trump admin has shown little care to families caught in this situation.

But they won the Commie Corridor, so now we all must bow down and pay respects to the new Politics Knowers.
A bunch of these kinds of candidates have been losing in plenty of races, but these progressives are just not mentioning it. The way they talk about it, you'd assume they're making a clean sweep everywhere, but that's just not even close to true.
Vibecession Forever@ghazelleberner.bsky.social · yesterdayI’m not sure I agree with this framing. The “establishment” is ultimately a meaningless phrase. It’s not ideological. To hear many leftists talk about her, AOC is part of the establishment now. The stakes are higher for El-Sayed. Losing this primary should be a reckoning for the anti-Dem wing.
The NAACP has released a statement while the Tarrant County Commissioners Court considers a proposal today that would cut the number of Election Day polling locations nearly in half "Let's call this what it is… voter suppression"
The direction of the party isn't just showing it's contempt for it's base, Black people, but also away from women. Women who are willing to bow to male whims are acceptable for the time being, young attractive women. Any women with their own ambitions and ideas are just weak "centrist/moderates".
The purpose of this is to end girls/women’s sports altogether:
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
These people obsessively pushing this system are pervs and should be put on a registry.

Any political influencers paid to endorse a candidate need to disclose that on social media. It's an advertisement. I will report accounts for violating FTC rules IDGAF.
Sonya Massey trusted law enforcement to keep her safe. Instead, she lost her life at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve—an all too common tragedy for Black Americans. May we honor Sonya’s legacy by advocating for justice, accountability and a safer future for all.

People outside of research universities and in general scientific fields probably don't know the scope of the destruction already done to American science. It just keeps getting worse too.

BIG DEAL on voting rights this morning: Governor Spanberger just restored the voting rights of some 60,000+ Virginians. Her move reverses Youngkin's abrupt decision in 2023 to end automatic voting rights restoration, which brought Virginia back to a system of default lifetime disenfranchisement.

This is the only state that, absent action by the governor, bans people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.

See-If you stick with it sometimes- you get to what the REAL goal is… It’s not about Gaza or AIPAC,or suffering, or who is “progressive” or not… It’s about attention. They just want attention. Hope this helps- glad to serve.
Apparently the youths are getting back into the classics (a social media trend I can get behind) and "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck is trending as a bestseller at bookstores. Yes! It's one of my favorite books of all time. Read it people, read it!
As soon as I saw it, I KNEW it was made with some busted AI.
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 5d agoThe US government admits "full responsibility" for "hastily" mislabeling 6 African countries on a map. The map was also made using ChatGPT.
At this point, these people are the same as antivaxxers who believe vaccines cause autism. There's so much science proving that ADHD is real and genetic, this position is antiscience.
Scott Bryan@scottygb.bsky.social · last wk.Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”
Studies have shown that things like dyes, pesticides and even sugar affect ADHD brains differently because ADHD brains are different. People have the connection backwards. It's eugenics to ask how we can work backwards to prevent ADHD or neurodivergence.
Scott Bryan@scottygb.bsky.social · last wk.“While traits of ADHD undeniably exist – the question is why they exist. Is ADHD actually a neurodevelopmental disorder? Do people with ADHD have differently wired brains? Or does our world – with…processed food, and regimented education – serve as the catalyst for certain…patterns of behaviour?”
I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.
Two physicists won the Nobel Prize for the 2012 discovery of the so-called “God particle.” Under a new rule proposed by the Trump administration, American scientists might be forced to watch similar discoveries from the sidelines.

There was a bolo for a person creeping in the women's bathrooms in my work building. It was a cis man. It's always a cis man. Cis men who prey on people never need an elaborate pretense to do so. Unless it's signing up to be a Christian youth pastor.
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 6d agoBathrooms: "Gee we should be making sure predators aren't pretending to be trans to get into women's bathrooms and attacking them," realizing this is essentially an urban legend and then dropping it.
The collapse of critical thinking, functional and historical literacy are very real.
politiburb@politiburb.bsky.social · last wk."Oh yeah? You have a vast network of programs designed to try and maximize the number of people who have enough food to eat in a country of over 300 million?

I remember all the people who needed all the bars and restaurants to be open and the reason for that is they needed to drink their problems away instead of being locked down in the house with their problematic spouse and kids. They hate Fauci because he forced them to be with their families.
I only ever skim his rants anymore because there's nothing ever new. He's a small man with a small heart and a small mind. He's boring.
