This is a shocking thing to say. So the UN, International genocide scholars, and even Jewish/Israeli genocide scholars....are all wanting to just commit another Holocaust according to Noah.

It only took the Washington Post 2 more months to complete the purge of black staff columnists.
Continued appeasement of an ideology that believes black people don't belong in certain spaces.

There's a surprising amount of social progressives I watched that became either genocide deniers or defenders.
There's a "complexity" they grant to the genocide wherein they would see clarity with other human rights issues.
Maybe they'll be open to the evidence they establish as required.

Remember though that before the election, and before Trump, the main topic was the cost of living and things like the previous years under Liberal government.
Not every voter abandoned that framing or saw the election as primarily about Trump.
This was from the end of March.

The media continues to show itself unprepared for the current moment, in completely swallowing the Trump administration's false pretexts for its attacks on higher education.

Received my copy of the really great The Carlson Girls by author R.S. Penney (@richsp.bsky.social), who was one of my first social media friends years ago.
I read an early edition of this book and got completely immersed in it.

Grandmaster Fabiano Caruana reached a heart rate of 170 during a chess game.
Now I see why my Garmin watch thinks I'm so stressed during the day. It's just evaluating my chess games as running from a pride of lions.

And look at this from that Michael guy.
"The exaggerated harmfulness of child-adult sex"
The man is talking about rape, and not labeling it pedophilia. I sure remember Cantor was one of the ones who was pushing a different, more innocuous definition too.

Another aspect of that situation that was interesting for me is that Michael Bailey was an important person in the fight against trans people, and a lot of those who jumped to his defense were also members of the TERF community.

The closest I came to quitting social media was when I called out a person who uses terms like "virtuous pedophiles" and generally advocates for pedophiles, and got an incredible amount of push back from mainstream people calling for sympathy for them.

Ontario, Canada's most populous province has the Special Investigations Unit to investigate police use of force. This unit was created after protests about police killing multiple black men.
But sure, it's "wokeism" that introduced the idea of racism.

![Before the SIU, police services investigated themselves or in some instances, another police service was assigned to conduct the investigation.
In December 1988, the Ontario government established the Task Force on Race Relations and Policing following the deaths of several black men.[13] During hearings conducted by the task force, there was public concern, spearheaded by the Black Action Defence Committee, about a conflict of interest when the police conduct their own investigations.[14]
The task force's report recommended 57 changes in the law and policing policies.[13] As a result, the SIU was formed in 1990 under a new Ontario Police Services Act, introduced by Ontario Solicitor General Steven Offer.[10] Initially, the SIU was headquartered in Toronto, but in 2000 it moved to its current location in Mississauga.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gqqqg5xi4p2x4bfgphr7akip/bafkreiddr37c5ocndnn5mrtbdindwew5l2turx7u2fez7ljt7ci35ochne@jpeg)
