@nazgul What happened to HIPAA laws that are so stringently enforced? This is illegal.

@BigAngBlack "Encourage free schools, and resolve that not one dollar of money shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian school. Resolve that neither the state nor nation, or both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land the opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, Pagan, or Atheistical tenets. Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and the state forever separate."

— Ulysses S. Grant, Speech to the Society of the Army of Tennessee (1875) —

These are the Republican billionaires funding the Texas GOP.

They are the ones who give Abbott his marching orders.

@Computeforloot @RobertDaleParker Thanks for posting that.

When I hear "book ban" I think maybe pornography or something. But no, it's books that contain facts and truths, and books that make you think.

Illinois is about to become the first state to ban . . . book bans at public libraries and public school libraries.

@GatekeepKen Lol. It's been the same since Europeans came to the continent and long before there was a Republican Party. But yes, the Republicans are capitalizing on this feature of human nature. They capitalize on all manner of negative aspects of human nature because it's easy to do.

"Entire [Editorial board of Neuroimage] resigns over actions of academic publisher [Elsevier] whose profit margins outstrip even Google and Amazon"

theguardian.com/science/2023/m

Extremely relevant to discussions I've had here yesterday about #academic #publishing

$2700 to publish in their journal. Elsevier made nearly $3 billion in revenue with 40% profit margin last year.

Another example of #academia being pay to win

@GatekeepKen This is true of all immigrants. When immigrants come to a new country the first thing they want to do is slam the door on more immigrants.

This feature of human nature is most visible in the U.S.A., which, unlike every other country in the world, is composed entirely of immigrants.

How media enables white supremacy.

First pic: How NY Times depicted an unarmed Black teen killed by law enforcement—“problematic & no Angel.”

Second Pic: How NY Times depicts a white woman who unapologetically stole $700M & harmed countless people—“a loving mother & a new beginning.”

@ftp_alun It's all just another tempest in a teapot to keep the rubes riled up. This has been going on since the 70s, when the Republican Party leadership got together and chose an issue on which to focus that distracted from segregation, the real issue. They chose abortion as the cause. Since then they've added more red herring "causes" and keep coming up with more. Drag shows is just the latest one.
