The single greatest moment of this is Kanye West‘s tweet.

Possibly the greatest unintentionally funny tweet ever.

Yeah. In Trump v Hawaii, the Supreme Court essentially told him "make at least one country not majority Muslim so we can pretend it's legal and not just a Muslim ban" and then let it through once he complied, despite many public statements where he clearly identified that it was a Muslim ban. Bonus: in the process, they pretended to be overturning the decision that allowed Japanese internment camps. Something to remember for later this year / term.

Speaking of libtards.

A 2021 academic study led by UCLA academics identified Pinker as one of the “political centrists” who have “played a role in legitimizing the ideas of the human biodiversity movement” in a way that has benefited white nationalists, despite not being core proponents themselves.

Holy shit, that's gnarly. Gross stuff. The thing about all of that sort of garbage is before you even have to grapple with the emotions or ethics of this school of thought the science has already moved on. It's all bunk. Geneticists, anthropologists, other biologists have put in the work. Race is a scientifically bunk concept. It's a cultural impression not a consistent way to objectively categorize humans. That's what makes these yahoos so infuriating. They're trying to revive 19th century pseudoscience for purely political reasons.

i understand the intent isn't to make fun of people w/ disabilities, but it's basically using the r word and there are much better ways to get the point across without also punching down
It's what the Christian Republicans use for anyone who opposes them. I'm not using it to insult hypocritical liberals or the disabled.
We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.

Edited to my preferred tactic for dealing with tightie righties in the real world. I shall listen to you. I shall provide quality services to you (ethical mandate). I shall acknowledge and defend your basic humanity. I just might fart more often when you're around and I won't accept hateful rhetoric.
