Look I know this is going to be hard here but rigid adherence to lies about Covid is going to push you to the right. It has to. The eugenicist ideas that we can abandon the vulnerable and that vaccine mandates and lockdowns weren’t necessary because only “those people” died can never be democratic.
NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.”
Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.

We should stop referring to what ICE agents wear as “masks,” as it feeds into stigmatization and actual legislation to ban face-masks, including respirators. ICE agents technically do not wear masks; they wear neck gaiters. However we should refer to them as what they actually are: hoods

If an admissions committee even suspects you used ChatGPT for your application letter, they'll almost certainly decide not to waste a precious admissions spot on you.
Instead they'll give it to, you know, someone who actually likes to write and knows how to do it.

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school.
Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling").

Cringe is one of those words that people use to try and control others' behavior. Hate that bullshit. The words people use for this change but the meaning is always the same. Humiliation and and shame as a method for control

In a war between Europeans and white Americans, Black and Brown people always lose. Remember that, brothers, sisters, sibs, and cousins, and remember to pick your battles.
None of these people care for us and they never did.
I just hope that -we- can come together.

You do not, should not, accommodate Nazis. A "difference of opinion" or the "right to speak" or "reasonable debate" stops when you're dealing with a Nazi. Run them out on a rail.

Because of that essay alone, I was immediately set into the honors program.

If they tell you to "ask ChatGPT" for sources, drop the class.

This was in North Minneapolis a few nights ago, same time they shot another Mpls resident.
"DHS deleted this one because: The family was driving home and got blocked; ICE deployed flashbangs and tear gas INSIDE the car; The 6-month old child stopped breathing and had to be rushed to hospital."
