"Hollywood liberals didn’t destroy the family farm, college professors didn’t move manufacturing jobs overseas, immigrants didn’t pour opioids into rural communities, and critical race theory didn’t close hundreds of rural hospitals. When Republican politicians and the conservative media tell rural whites to aim their anger at those targets, it’s so they won’t ask why the people they keep electing haven’t done anything to improve life in their communities."

Computers as tools for humans are so useful exactly *because* they can’t think and do tedious work like calculations or information storage and retrieval for humans in a *deterministic* way.
It took like nearly 90 years of digital computers to make them powerful enough to run a wasteful algorithm that pretends to think (but doesn’t) and to deliver bullshit non-deterministic results while using absurd amounts of computational and environmental resources.
“The [Arizona] decision should serve as a warning for the rest of the country…In the hands of a far-right court, a dead, openly misogynistic, wildly unpopular abortion ban can spring back to life with a vengeance.”

Another way to put this is a 0.12% wealth tax on billionaires would raise a billion dollars to end food insecurity and with a 1.2% wealth tax on billionaires we could do the same for 100 such causes.
“How can you listen to a kid who wants to change sex? My kid wants to be a dinosaur!”
Because unlike wanting to be a dinosaur, there's decades of science showing kids with persistent gender dysphoria:
1. Rarely grow out of it
2. Continue to suffer if not treated
3. Suffer lifelong pain if they go through the wrong puberty
4. Are at significant risk of suicide/self-harm if untreated
5. Thrive as well as cis kids if they are supported by family/friends and given gender-affirming care
Do you want to see what voting would look like if white people set it up for just white people? Well, we don't have to wonder. There's an actual real world example that we can look at right now. Let's look at Utah.
Utah is 87% Caucasian and only 1% black by population. In Utah:
➡️ EARLY VOTING exists.
➡️ MAIL IN VOTING exists.
➡️ ONLINE REGISTRATION exists.
➡️ SAME DAY registration exists.
➡️ ALL REGISTERED VOTERS are automatically sent ballots.
➡️ Not ballot applications. ACTUAL BALLOTS.
➡️ You get an AUTOMATIC NOTIFICATION if there's any problem with your signature so you can correct it in time for your vote to be counted.
➡️ You DO NOT NEED proof of citizenship to register to vote or to cast your vote. They just trust you.
➡️ If you are a CONVICTED FELON, you regain your right to vote once you serve your sentence.
➡️ Or even if you are merely granted PAROLE OR PROBATION.
Yet, despite all this, for some reason, Republicans never seem to mention potential voter fraud in Utah.
Gee, I wonder what the difference is.
The state of abortion rights in the U.S. unequivocally demonstrates that women are second class citizens. All the orange and tan states deny women autonomy over their own bodies, the most basic element of liberty. The federal government permits this. I’m angry and heavy-hearted. #abortion #patriarchy #misogyny
