wartime is not a good time to hold an election if you're seeking to get rid of a far-right authoritarian. what you need to do is address the rise in support for far-right authoritarianism around the world. people are electing Trumps and Bibis all over the place right now.

so affirmative action is not the reason why Asian and Latin immigrants are doing well, but also Asian and Latin immigrants are doing well so they don't need affirmative action?

right. so we have not yet achieved fairness, so we still need affirmative action. so what the fuck are you arguing about?

the point of affirmative action is not to give recent immigrants an extra leg up. it is to CORRECT COURSE for the descendants of non-white immigrants who did NOT enjoy the upward mobility of their white counterparts, the descendants of Latin, Asian & African immigrants who were Jim Crow'd out of the prosperity that their Italian and Russian contemporaries enjoyed. You can't enslave people for 450 years then go "well these white Russians climbed the ladder w/o affirmative action, you do it too."

2 things: 1) how are we defining "native families" cause I'm guessing it's not "indigenous" and 2) you sit there & tell me after a few generations, immigrant families economically resemble "native" families, that upward mobility is in the toilet, and then that those "native families" descended from Latin or African immigrants don't need affirmative action because RECENT immigrants are doing so well?

keep your kids off social media.

fuck the Jefferson memorial, save the trees instead.

THIS IS BULLSHIT. IT WASN'T A FIGHT, THEY WERE JUMPED. THEIR HEAD WAS SMASHED INTO THE FLOOR UNTIL THEY LOST CONSCIOUSNESS. THE URGENT CARE DOC DIDN'T EVEN CHECK FOR A CONCUSSION. THEY WENT TO SLEEP AND WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY COMPLAINING OF A HEADACHE. THEY HAD ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH A DIFFERENT DOCTOR *THAT SAME DAY.* THEY DID NOT FUCKING DIE BY SUICIDE.

FUCKING. WAR. CRIMES.

this shit is why Katie Porter lost the CA Senate primary. 😡

the way this piece just abruptly stops, with no mention of WHY Republicans are blocking Ukraine aid despite ongoing public support 🤨

yeah well it angers my 9yo son when I take away his tablet but that doesn't mean it's a bad decision. tiktok is Twinkies for your brain, time to make America eat their fuckin vegetables.

same energy

this is the most important part of the tiktok legislation. idiots being idiots about a "silent depression" is a non-issue, the fact that China is censoring US conversations based on CCP values - including merely explaining the difference between capitalism and communism - cannot be allowed to stand. it was bad enough when celebrities were being made to apologize for calling Tibet a country, tiktok is a whole new level of indoctrination.

shoulda stuck with Pete

my sister in Christ, why do you think they took up the case in the first place?

#latestagecapitalism

oh, a Double Jeopardy question for $1000, "what is STOP GIVING THEM WEAPONS?"

fuckin everything Trump does revives memories of childhood bullying, THE MAN IS A CHILDISH BULLY
