Still badass, at least in my mind. 😂 Mpls. Queer. Cat mom. Women’s b-ball. Kamala Harris for the people.

Hi! Wandering back here as I am solidly against supporting billionaires and oligarchs. Former Twitter, current Threads. Maybe it’s better here?

This is true at scale. A study found that Black profiles on LinkedIn are 13% less likely to have their connection request accepted as compared to white profiles.
There is also work by sociologists David Pedulla and Devah Pager that shows that job network formation is racialized. #econsky #blacksky

There was ANOTHER camp eviction today. Roughly 50 of your Minneapolis neighbors were forced out of their tents in 19° weather. Several of those tents (20?) were frozen to the ground, leaving their occupants unsheltered. This weather is deadly, we lose people to exposure every year because of this.

We know what the problem was — we just don’t want to admit it because of what it says about the true nature of this country. Two women ran against Trump and lost. Both were over-run by massive misogyny and misinformation. Now add race to the mix. Trump played identity politics the whole time.

Please reporters, for the love of god, don’t normalize this administration and manufacture consent for the abject evil they will commit. Your objectivity was always a myth! You know that, right? Now is not the time for sentences like, “Trump appeared to answer dishonestly.”

‘Meth. We’re on It’: South Dakota’s Anti-Meth Campaign Raises Eyebrows (Published 2019)
Many saw the slogan as tone-deaf or a failed attempt at cleverness. State officials said it was provocative by design.
