@JRBuckley Why is Mary Trump even relevant?
@StillIRise1963 @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop That’s just it. I wasn’t responding to anything you said. I was responding to @ricardoharvin.
@StillIRise1963 @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop I think we’ve both taken each other out of context.
@StillIRise1963 @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop From where I entered, it was relevant to the conversation. This is a problem with this kind of discussion…we don’t all enter at the beginning. And when there are multiple people involved, the response could be to any one of them.
@StillIRise1963 @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop I was making a general statement. Just because it hasn’t entered this thread doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
@StillIRise1963 @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop Not here. Not recently. The only person to block me here did so because I objected to her laying sole claim to slavery.
@JRBuckley @ewdocparris@writing.exchange WHAT?! I thought for sure Chuck Todd would go to Fox or CNN. Somewhere where he can feel more comfortable.
@ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop @StillIRise1963 The fact is our two communities have been through similar outrages. We have more in common than not. Neither of us should diminish the experiences of the other, but neither of us can claim them solely as our own.

A year ago in Texas, a teenager just one day past his 18th birthday legally purchased an AR-15 and 3 days later purchased another. Four days after that he entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and killed 19 children and 2 teachers. Texas Republicans offered prayers...and nothing else.
Only regulations for gun safety are the problem. However, bans against women’s rights, gender affirming care, D.E.I., books…well, that's alright. They just need hate for votes.

@StillIRise1963 This “white American” got very early lessons on fascism and hate. At age 7 years old I was beaten and ostracized by the neighbor kids because their parents told them I’m a Christ killing Jew, they would hold me down and feel for my devil horns. Not one neighborhood kid was allowed to enter my house. This bullshit in 1961 California! People of color aren’t alone in carrying the burden of ignorance and hate!
What is the difference between, say, the kind of cheese biscuits served as an appetizer at many restaurants, and a cheese scone?
@habibcham@mastodon.social Very much so.
@habibcham@mastodon.social I’m really only interested in the next iteration of iOS and iPadOS anyway.

Here's my take on what really happened in the debt limit fight: Biden has a theory about how to marginalize and defeat MAGA that seems to be working.
I talked to senior Bidenworld people to understand their thinking on this. Free link:

Adam and Eve were the first “Naked and Afraid” participants.
@habibcham@mastodon.social I have a class that starts halfway through. I may just watch when I get home so I can FF through all the stuff that doesn’t interest me.

Just parked behind a car with multiple queer and trans bumper stickers, several medical bumper stickers and one that says “straight outta surgery” (like the “straight outta Compton” meme) and I’m delighted to read this as being a trans surgeon and someone happily celebrating their own gender affirming surgery.

#Politics is all about choices:
#RishiSunak & his wife #AkshataMurty have donated $3m to a Californian college, while schools in his own constituency would have welcomed a donation;
recall Murty avoided a significant tax bill by retaining her 'non-dom' status before the publicity 'encouraged' her to begin to pay domestic tax (what with being married to the PM).
Money she saved by not paying UK taxes has gone to a rich US College instead of UK school;
their choice(s)!
