It was a common practice post-Reconstruction to refuse to seat politicians elected by newly enfranchised Black men, especially on the local level. White ex-Confederates were MORE upset about having local Black officials because, as they would say, those people actually impacted the daily life.

There are also cultures that do not routinely circumcise and have similar rates of autism.

I mean, there’s actual logical numbers to look at here. Jews should have a noticeably higher level of rates. There would be noticeable generational differences between boomer and Genz. Huge differences Men/boys and women/girls.

🇲🇽 rustbelt rebel 🇲🇽 @rustbeltrebel.bsky.social · 2h

The most circumcised generation would’ve been RFKs gen lol. Gen Z rates have plummeted. But apparently they have the most autism. The most fatness. The most shots in their fat weak little bodies. That wouldn’t even qualify to be soldier in US Military.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Pope Leo said go to hell neolibs

Lucius Fox In The Box @carnegro.bsky.social · 7h

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

The screen door slams- Mary’s dress sways. Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays…

That was one of the first images I paid attention to in a song as a wee thing. I could literally smell the air on front lawn of where that porch was when I heard that song for the first time.

Favorite is Bruce Springsteen. Don’t think he’s the greatest tho, although so many of his images are so beautiful/powerful.

According the victim's attorney, body camera footage captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good.”
