CREDO’s 2020 Study Biased against Public Schools - The same research fallacies that created bias in this study plague their new 2023 study. It is bad scholarship verging on propaganda. tultican.com/2020/05/14/credos #privatization

Suspicious mole...

Called PCP on 6/15 can't get in until 7/11.

Opened my insurance app and was instantly able to get a teledoc appointment and within 10 minutes received a referral for a dermatologist based on a photo I uploaded.

I can't decide if this is a win or a loss. Certainly if local doctors want to remain relevant then they will need to update their practices or they are going to be Ubered out of a job.

Boaz Dvir: I see public schools failing to give students the historical knowledge needed to keep our democracy strong - At least 36 states have halted or are seeking the legal means to stop teachers from examining racism in their classrooms. networkforpubliceducation.org/ #Censorship

Rudy Giuliani now says his secret surprise witness against President Biden has “mysteriously died.”

Thoughts and prayers to his entire fictional family.

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest

“ Florida is projected to have a 60,000 person nursing shortage in the next 10 years,

so the governor of pudding cut $20 million to the University of South Florida to a STEM nursing program. "
He did find $ to illegally fly Texan migrants to CA however.

The General Board of the AFL-CIO voted this morning to endorse @potus Joe Biden and @vp Kamala Harris for re-election in 2024, the earliest presidential endorsement vote in AFL-CIO history.

Here's why ⤵️

Pregnancy is too complicated to regulate & legislate.

And so called “exceptions” to abortion bans are bullshit PR stunts.

Per @jessicavalenti:

“Heather Maberry was 20 weeks pregnant when she got the news, and was told that despite the prognosis the law prevented her from getting care. But she couldn’t bear the idea of carrying the pregnancy for another 17 or 18 weeks: ‘I said, 'I physically can't and mentally can't continue carrying her knowing that she's never gonna breathe, we're never going to have a life with her.’

Maberry was able to get financing from abortion funds, who helped her with the cost of procedure and travel to Chicago, where she had the abortion. Without their funding, she would have had to pay $6,000 to $7,000 out-of-pocket.

She doesn’t blame her doctors, she says, but the politicians.

‘I mean most of them are men. They are never going to have to carry a child. They're never going to have to be in the position, they're never gonna be the one that was carrying that baby and had to go through hell.’”

Thanks to Quip for donating $50,000 in support of LGBTQ communities.

Organised religion has corrupted one of the purest, most powerful and sustaining things in the human condition. It has imposed a middle management, not only in our politics and in our finances, but in our spirituality as well.

Y’all ever find yourself thinking about the parents of the kids of Sandy Hook? Or Uvalde, Parkland, & Covenant. Or Columbine, Santa Fe, & more?

We may move on—but their lives are frozen in time. Forever fixated on a moment they can never change.😓

It just doesn’t have to be this way.

Ahhhh. You truly can’t make this shit up. What a clown show! #RudyAkaHelen

Apparently Rudy Giuliani is saying the whistleblower witness in the Biden bribery case had died.

Oh gee, I hate it when that happens ...

PGA Tour’s Deal With LIV’s Saudi Backers to Be Investigated by Justice Department.

DOJ was investigating PGA Tour and other leading golf bodies for anticompetitive behavior - and will now review merger for antitrust concerns.

A bill has been reintroduced in the House to strip the Tour of its tax exemption. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a CT Democrat, said earlier this week that he was opening an inquiry into the agreement and demanding documents from both parties.

47 per cent of Black people surveyed believe they have been treated unfairly by an employer in hiring, pay or promotion in the last year. That’s three times higher than white Canadians at 15 per cent.

Some of the report’s findings include 90 per cent Black Canadians surveyed, and 82 per cent of Indigenous people view racism in the criminal justice system as a serious problem.

Publicly commenting on a woman’s body, clothing and appearance in general, illustrates how we as a culture are ok with treating women’s bodies as “public spaces”. It’s dehumanizing and puts all women at risk. Let’s please knock it the fuck off.
