"And this October, Hanania is scheduled to teach a seminar at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. The school did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment..."Peter Thiel,...expressed excitement over the book’s takedown of diversity, equity and inclusion programs. “DEI will never d-i-e from words alone,” Thiel wrote. “Hanania shows we need the sticks and stones of government violence to exorcize the diversity demon."
There be monsters here 🏴☠️
These are a couple of black spiny tailed iguanas, we say at Roatan, Honduras.

Justice Elena Kagan has voiced her support for a new Supreme Court ethics code — taking a sharply different stance than Samuel Alito.
"It just can't be that the court is the only institution that somehow is not subject to checks and balances ... We're not imperial." #SCOTUS
Regret to announce I've been veering dangerously close to doing history again
Winter has been with us almost 7 months. Winter was such a poorly little girl when she arrived with us. She had 2 broken limbs, was unconscious for 2 days, was hypothermic, hypoglycemic, dehydrated, blind, had serious head trauma and suffered with seizures.
On the whole Winter has recovered well from her ordeal that began when she was 5 weeks old however she is still blind and does have seizures of varying degrees.
Me cycling through Times Square this evening at double speed.
We should just pedestrinaize the whole thing.
4 Years After El Paso Massacre, Republicans Use Same Rhetoric as Mass Shooters
From @mallorynoepayne:
"Hi, good morning.
Just a reminder that Hitler led a failed coup, went to jail for it, came out to an exhilarated base, consolidated support from right-wing politicians, then walked into power.
All while the media gave him continuous coverage."

The Media and Democracy Project strongly endorses this: The Donald Trump trials should be broadcast for the public.
This kind of information is a public good and it makes our democracy stronger.
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison would have approved.

Remembering his experiences as a child in an internment camp for Japanese Americans, George Takei asks supporters to sign a petition calling for action to stop the cruelty Texas Republicans are visiting on migrants now. He writes,
"A leaked e-mail from a Texas Department of Protective Safety trooper documents the remarkably cruel measures Governor Greg Abbott has instituted at the border to deter crossings."

Governor Greg Abbott (R) of TX is an inhumane, Fascist, racist, cruel, evil monster.
That's it. That's the Toot.

Meet Dr. Jake Kleinman
He’s a husband
He’s a father
He’s the medical director of Ochsner Hospital for Children’s pediatric heart transplant, heart failure and ventricular assist device programs
In fact, he’s one of only three pediatric heart doctors in Louisiana
And he’s being forced to flee the state and take his skills somewhere else
All because its more important for Republicans to attack the LGBTQIA+ community than it is to have skilled professionals in their state
Libs: owned 🏆
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
