I can't make this shit up

Well someone's trying to get reelected I see. This is a good thing and I hope it's a sign of more to come. #FuckICE

People should bring up that surveillance pricing is almost certainly racist because the inputs will be structurally racist. Imagine food staples from your culture costing more because of your background. That's what's on offer.

Everything you've been posting over the past 24 hours is completely ahistorical.

161 years after Emancipation, millions of lives have been damaged by the "reconciliation work" of the UDC. The UDC has had real-world material effects on Black Americans and this nation.

What scares me is that as Twitter gets worse, it will lose friendly academics who pop up under tweets like that to dispense information. So many of them are on BlueSky and I love them.

This admin has me agreeing with Rand Paul.
