Notice that not one of Trump’s defenders in the GOP actually says he is innocent. They just say he is the victim of a politicized system. They are essentially saying that a guilty person shouldn’t be prosecuted when he’s a powerful politician. Who here thinks that’s crap?

GSA is currently doing a study to investigate racial bias in facial recognition technology, particularly for automated identity proofing. PLEASE share this as widely as possible so that they can get a wide range of feedback, not just from white folks. Thanks!

#introduction

Hi all! 👋 I come from Reddit, so you can probably understand why I'm hesitant to post too many personal details. I'm hoping to loosen up here over time, but you can just call me by my username, or should it ever come up, then you can call me Tee.
This is probably my first time letting the internet know that I'm a #bisexual #black #African woman.
I tend to cope with frustration by being facetious, and lately, the world has been VERY frustrating. I'm also an adult who is newly diagnosed with #ADHD, so my thoughts tend to go to interesting places, and I have an interest in a variety of topics.

Work in Healthcare
I am currently really into #Skincare and thus, I now have a small collection of hats 😀
Looking forward to participating more!

Hmmm. Terrific. I long for a day when there are not ballots full of kooks.

@shuttersparks @arstechnica I will now be referring to them as "artificial idiots". Cheers!

Trump knows there are crazy people out there who will take violent action on his behalf if asked. He knew that on January 6, and he knows that today. That’s why he must be stopped from publicly attacking judges and prosecutors. He’s a threat to the system and to lives.

Nothing worse than going out for breakfast and the place is full of cops and you're wanted in five states.

At five years old, I couldn't grasp the concept of a scapegoat; all I understood was that, because of Japan’s aggression that pulled the United States into the war, my family and I had to leave our home at gunpoint, taking with us only what we could carry. As I got older, I understood scapegoating for what it is: a channel for hate, blame, and bigotry.

My lifelong mission has been preventing this from happening again, yet my heart aches as the LGBTQ+ community faces it now. We've fought for our rights to live, love, and be ourselves—a vibrant, misunderstood, and often mistreated rainbow of identities.

I have seen where scapegoating, if left unchallenged, leads. And it is a very dark place. This week, I chose to share my story with you in the hopes that we never repeat the heinous mistakes of the past. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/takei-scapegoating-lgbtq-japanese-internment
