It is despicable that the Covid vaccine manufacturers are going to charge more than $110/dose for the new XBB.1.5 boosters when available in mid-September.

The US government previously paid ~$25/dose, supplied free of charge, and subsidized these companies with untold $ billions.

Cheating is the Republican platform so we've got to flood the ballot boxes enough to get them out of power in every state as fast as we possibly can.

Decolonization is not a metaphor
By Eve Tuck & K. Wayne Yang

“Our goal in this article is to remind readers what is unsettling about decolonization. Decolonization brings about the repatriation of Indigenous land and life; it is not a metaphor for other things we want to do to improve our societies and schools.”

A -45% drop in UK students taking German and -37% French A-Levels (courses for 16 to 18 year olds). Really saddening.

Studying languages changed and immeasurably enriched my life, but as a student I still had to defend my choices against idiotic 'but they all speak English don't they' statements.

No, 'they' don't. And even if 'they' do, why not return the favour?

Being an admin of a large-ish instance has been quite an eye opening experience into how awful some people are towards trans people. I really don’t understand the energy they put into hating people.

Clarence Thomas had 38 free luxury vacations.

A lot of folks haven’t had 38 vacations of any kind.

The NY Times can’t stop telling us how much Trump’s indictments are helping him—but they are very wrong! My new article on how NY Times and other media outlets peddling this BS are helping Trump create the narrative he wants. https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-ny-times-cant-stop-telling-us

OK, so, on September 19, 2022, over 3 dozen congressional Republicans sign and send this letter (https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:ff125470-b391-37fa-99d6-a19c930b5386) to AG Garland demanding that David Weiss be made special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation. Then, this week, Garland makes David Weiss the special counsel over-seeing the Hunter Biden investigation. So, naturally, Republican lawmakers are overjoyed by this news. Oh…. Wait….

HOUSE
House GOP blasts appointment of Hunter Biden special counsel

BY SARAH FORTINSKY - 08/11/23 1:20 PM ET

Top House Republicans are accusing the Biden administration of attempting to stymie their investigation into Hunter Biden following the Department of Justice’s appointment of a special counsel.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) raised doubts about whether special counsel David Weiss could be trusted and pledged in a statement that House Republicans would continue their investigations into the president’s family.

It is literally happening in front of our eyes. #globalwarming #Glacier I took the photos of Mer de Glace in Chamonix in 2012 and 2023, to the day 11 years between.

You all are even more cynical than I am!

The first thing I saw was 300 but it turns out that is only “visible minorities” and doesn’t include the 800 Indigenous people (I’m shocked there are that many given Canada’s genocide history.

So just over half a percent of the population is not white.

@digitalrob @toussaint if getting shot is an inherent risk of being a teacher, where is our hazard pay?

“America is a republic, not a democracy.”

Ok let’s play:

- A republic doesn’t allow leaders to overturn election results when they lose

- A republic doesn’t allow a leader to summon a violent mob to stop the legislature from meeting

- In a republic, no one is above the law

The senator was for David Weiss' appointment as special counsel in the investigation of the president's son before he was against it. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/ted-cruz-hunter-biden-special-counsel-inappropriate-1234806154/
