One thing people don’t get with the “sports issue” is it is MADE UP WHOLE CLOTH by the SAME BILLIONAIRE FUNDED ORGS WHO FOUGHT TO ROLL BACK ROE V WADE and would like to overturn Brown V. board. They have gay marriage in their sights and speak openly about it. The media has completely ignored this!
Google Glendale school board riot. That violent spectacle was the explosion point of nearly 3 years of a tiny group of reactionaries filming their school board meeting public comments for amplification by the right’s viral media networks- everything from libsoftiktok to the daily wire to Fox News.
attracting media attention with "stunts" was literally the entire core of the civil rights movement. visuals of cops and other officials harassing, beating, killing organizers was pivotal. the civil rights movement would have gone wild for selfies and tweets.
Protect the kids! Not from discrimination or campus sexual assault though apparently!
Trump's Office for Civil Rights stopped making pending school discrimination investigations public. So @propublica.org sued for the case data, and now we've made it available to all. www.propublica.org/article/civi...
Folks must read @kkdumez.bsky.social ‘s new Live Laugh Love on women of the Christian right, & of course her essential Jesus and John Wayne- key to understanding christian supremacy in the US (& check Allie Beth Stuckey’s pastel fascist Instagram to see how many “Christians” you know follow her).
Elon Musk is a liar and, enabled by our tax dollars, responsible for the deaths of countless children. He is trying to buy our elections and end democracy. His assets should be seized and he should face trial at the ICC at the absolute minimum.
Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ
This is always where the anti-CRT panic was leading and we’ve been shouting it from the rooftops for years. The reactionary right has been organizing to re-implement state sanctioned segregation since Brown v Board and it would be nice if the media and liberal institutions would act like it.
SCOTUS making its first move to go after race-neutral high school admissions standards:
Meanwhile, according to an @trevorproject.bsky.social survey “14% of LGBTQ youth reported sleeping away from parents or caregivers because they were kicked out or abandoned due to their LGBTQ identity.” Anyone at the Wall Street Journal or NYT interviewing those kids???

Yes. The conservative scheme for education is a three-way split: high-priced academies for the children of the wealthy, religious instruction to brainwash the middle class, and a rump of prison-like public schools to discipline the lower class into obedience.
the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

ultimately it's shit like this that makes the decline of birth rates and resulting demographic skewing towards old people self-reinforcing. Greedy, wealthy retired people voting to destroy the funding for public services they relied on throughout their life now that they no longer need them
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.
Inadequate property taxes are how you get the housing shortage, defunded schools, and the homelessness crisis of California. Prop 13 came out of its own astroturfed “taxpayer revolt”- we know what happens. The wealthy will privatize everything from schools to fire departments while the masses suffer

Anyone still on Facebook sees meta’s ideological alignment pushed daily- locally, despite one’s own liberal/left posting folks report seeing content from right wing media, hyping Sonja Shaw & Steve Hilton and even explicitly Nazi content- like this Camp of the Saints promo 1 local parent was served

Ossoff demonstrates the only way Dems should be talking about the Nazi infiltrated Republican Party . No “reaching across the aisle” to insurrectionists and white supremacists. If Karl Rove can speak clearly about current stakes every member of the “opposition” party should do it easily.

Of all the options on your ballots, Richard Barrera for State Superintendent of Public Instruction is who will keep your, our, all kids safe and represented. His MAGA opponent's only achievement is shrill, anti queer/trans rhetoric and attacking trans student athletes. Kids. Keep 'em safe 💖

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.
Breaking News: Paramount officially closed its deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, creating a vast media empire.
Chris Rufo invented the moral panic about “CRT” to push increasingly segregationist aims amidst reactionary (mostly) white parents and his entire career is attempting to legitimize and launder anti-democratic illiberal goals.
not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.
