Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

There’s more that unites us than what divides us. And I got to believe that all of us (MAGA included) feel that the sexual predation and trafficking of children is wrong and should be prosecuted even if we find out that the worst culprit is the US President! Release the files!

Donald Trump claims to be "Pro-Life." Indeed, he was the first sitting president to attend the annual March for Life.

But this didn't stop him from conspiring with Elon Musk to kill 600,000 (so far) people, 2/3 of them children. You see, when Elon says we need more children he means *white* ones.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Turning Point doing the devils work I see - making it clear women”s lives mean nothing to them. The pope was right - not very pro life to call for the death penalty particularly on women making impossible choices. They will cast the first stone…

AI medical tools found to downplay symptoms of women, ethnic minorities

Bias-reflecting LLMs lead to inferior medical advice for female, Black, and Asian patients.

None of this should be surprising, considering the terribly flawed data that these tools are based upon. Garbage in, garbage out.

We overthrew a petty tyrant once before! By declaring war on your own people - Americans who don’t agree with you, the felon POTUS has shown he is not fit for office. He continues to violate our constitutional rights! If the President and the Supreme Court won’t protect us it’s time to depose them!

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/
