In fact, as I discuss in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR, it's a *feature*, not a bug of white supremacy.

White Northern pastors started preaching Jesus' "unconditional" forgiveness* re: the South just as their supremacy was at risk. For them, white unity > accountability, Black equality.

*see next skeet
Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.

You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

The thing is, if Americans weren’t so easily manipulated by anti-Blackness then we wouldn’t have fallen for the current psyop.
Lots of people pointed out that disinfo was being outsourced but got shouted down as conspiracy theorists.

Now many of you are primed to ignore what I'm saying, because no one wants to feel like a puppet on a string. But if wages are stagnating while costs rise everywhere is that just how the economy goes...or is that a lot of market manipulation because rich people make money from suffering?

Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

You also can not separate the art from the artist if the artist REFUSES to let you separate it. This woman has said multiple times that every consumption of her creation is an endorsement of her views. No matter how loud you say you dislike her views, as long as you consume her art, you support her.

Remember last year when we said we would drop The Tribune's paywall if we raised enough money to support the transition to free? About that… 😁

If you need a whistle in Somerville, stop by Gracie’s. If you need A LOT of whistles that’s probably ok too.

The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego.

Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.
Unpacked:
In Aug., Govt said if Abrego pled guilty he could go to Costa Rica, where he's okay with going. Abrego said no to plea. Govt now wants to send him to Liberia. Why not Costa Rica? Govt told judge Thurs that Costa Rica wouldn’t take him anymore. @mariasacchetti exposed them.
Costa Rica will accept Abrego, per @washingtonpost.com .
If true, DOJ, DHS, and Dept of State caused lies to be disseminated to Judge Xinis all day Thursday, where an ICE official testified about info sent him by Dept of State, claiming Costa Rica wouldn't take Abrego.

Where the banshees picnic, and they picnic well.
This is the oldest known family photo taken at Stonehenge. c 1865, back when you could picnic on the great sarsens themselves.

The original photo is owned by Queen Guitarist Brian May!

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.
Until a few years ago, ugly holiday sweaters didn’t exist. They’re ugly Christmas sweaters, with some generic Jewish iconography to be “inclusive.” But the truth is, when I have to buy one to wear to a work party, I feel like I’m in another culture’s drag.

I don't know how anybody who is old enough to remember the housing crash in the late 2000s would believe for a second that the private sector would continue building houses after the prices start dropping. The only way we will ever have enough housing is if we have a federal homes guarantee.
Ask yourself why it is you believe we need private developers to build homes when government can borrow money cheaper than any developer?

If it is profitable for private developers to build rental housing

Why wouldn't government be able to do the same? why wouldn't we want to collectively own it?

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I should probably be bothered that I’ve known what felching was for decades, now…
Good morning. In the past 24 hours, more Americans have Googled “felching” than have searched for “turkey recipes”

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.
We came to LA as refugees from the USSR in 1991. Life wasn’t easy, but we persevered and, I dare say, came to contribute something of worth to this nation.

Had I experienced the following when I was a boy, I don’t know what would have become of me.

The thing about Trump saying it’s fine for Mamdani to call him a fascist is that he genuinely thinks all of this is kayfabe, just as he could insult Rubio or Cruz but still work with them. It’s not possible for him to imagine other people being sincere about anything.

Again I say, if you have a friend with a baby, check to be sure they know about this. They might not have used ByHeart formula but they might know someone who does.
every single baby had to be
hospitalized.
The leader of the Association of Food and Drug Officials told Healthbeat that the FDA has been slow to share distribution lists for recalled ByHeart formula. “I’m not sure they recognize the sense of urgency,” he said.
