the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

What happened to the destination tab in Fate Saga? Was there a way to integrate both Portal menu and solar system destination tab or not. I would find getting rid of the solar system destination tab ripping away a foundational aspect of the game.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

I said it 30 years ago and I'll say it again today: you cannot balance the budget on the backs of working people.
My Shutdown Message
My message today is the same as it was nearly 30 years ago when Newt Gingrich shut down the government: you cannot balance the budget on the backs of vulnerable and working people.

You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth.

Now watch the video and listen.

It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it.
For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words.

@abreezeclayton.bsky.social When are NCDEMS going to start having town halls in red congressional districts talking and listening to all the people impacted by the Trump regime, those districts aren't getting town halls from republican reps. Show the people that dems are for the working people.
