“The media’s portrayal of these laws as moves in the ‘culture wars’ is an unconscionable misrepresentation of fascism,” writes Jason Stanley https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/13/african-american-studies-republican-ban-florida
@goosname The #NYT can go to hell. They may be slightly better than #Fox, but that bar is so low that my high school #newspaper had better #journalists.

Did the NYT really publish an Opinion speculating that young girls today are more depressed than ever because of _phones_?
In a world where they lost the right to control their own reproductive healthcare? Where states are pondering making them report their periods? In a world debating genital inspections to play school sports? While banning books? Where they practice school shooting drills? With climate change? Where sexual assault isn’t disqualifying for public office?
Sure, it’s the phones.

The thing about red states is that they are also voter-suppression states.
For example, Tennessee uses felon-disenfranchisement to prevent more than 20% of black adults from voting; florida enacted a poll tax after a voter referendum (should have) ended most felon-disenfranchisement there; and Texas is trying to bar all on-campus voting.

Republicans aren’t afraid of “Critical Race Theory,” they are afraid of critical thinking.
They know the biggest threat facing their party is a new multi-racial generation of young people unafraid to speak truth to power.
That’s why they are waging a war on America’s teachers.

@punkrockscience Yes they are fun. You never kn ow what you'll find. I would avoid trying it in a hotel though.
@punkrockscience If you catch one, you can shine a black light in it's face and the teeth glow. It's kind of weird.
@punkrockscience I did not know that, but did you kn ow that the bones of the Eastern Fox Squirrel glow under UV light? https://vmnhpaleontology.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/squirrel/
@ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs There is a prevention for that. It's been proven to work that exposing vulnerable individuals to weakened forms of the extremist arguments works in a similar fashion to a vaccine. It's called Attitude Inoculation. https://cognitiveimmunology.net/

Have you seen that meme going around about how to make box cake mix taste like you made it from scratch? Does it really work? The only way to know for sure is to test it, and that's what this video is. https://youtu.be/TCAoLnSxIfc

The typical CEO of a company listed on the S&P 500 earned $18.8 million last year — up roughly 21% from 2021.
Meanwhile, people working full-time minimum wage jobs can’t afford a two-bedroom apartment anywhere in the United States.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
