The notion that slavery had good benefits for the enslaved people (gave them skills?) implies that the enslaved people who were kidnapped from their country of origin, or produced from rape of those same people, or from being trafficked after being stolen from their parents, were in fact ‘feral’ by nature and thus, were being ‘educated’ by White Masters. This perpetuates the “lesser value/less than fully human” mythology that has enabled racism from the beginning. #Shameful #Racist

Disgusting. The Republican Party is a diseased cult.

#MikePence is such an idiot!

Why don't we abandon our justice system entirely and put every infraction up for a national vote?

Did you go through the red light?
"Let the people decide"

Did you swindle someone?
"Let the people decide"

Did you murder that dude?
"Let the people decide"

Guess what? A trial by jury IS letting the people decide!

A24, a small independent film company which makes low budget films, has already signed INTERIM AGREEMENTS with the actors and writers on strike. That means the employers have agreed to all the terms actors and writers are making of the big Hollywood studios. If indies can afford it, why cant billionaires? #wga #sagaftra #strike

Incidentally, some amazing things have come out of A24. Perhaps my favorite is Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, but they have so many gems.

Well, well, well...

"Republicans have bellowed in outrage at how little traction the story is getting in the media even now that the data is supposedly "confirmed" to be Hunter's. But that's not surprising either; it's almost certainly the result of criminal hacking."

DeSatan is a fascist authoritarian dick-tator who is a threat to OUR country, OUR elections, OUR democracy, OUR Constitution and OUR Rule of LAW.🤬 -ER
Lesley Abravanel 🪩@lesleyabravanel :
Since Grand Wizard DeSantis has dictated that Florida public schools teach our kids how slavery helped the slaves by teaching them skills, it’s only a matter of time before teachers must teach how some Jewish concentration camp prisoners also learned skills in the labor camps.

Republican Failures!

Researchers found that children in Florida aged 14 and younger are seeking dental care through emergency departments for non-traumatic dental conditions at the highest rate in the country.

That tells me Florida provides little to no medical assistance programs to their low and middle income residents!

Parents and kids are forced to wait until it's too late for their dental needs.. DeSantis should be ashamed!
