Seriously, what the hell is wrong with #CaitlynJenner? I wonder if she's really just another one of those rich narcissists, who enjoys the idea of other people being harmed for not being as rich as her.

@Susan_Larson_TN

The leopards' favourite face-food. self-hate to the max. #WTF is WRONG with her?

#InternalisedBigotry

@Susan_Larson_TN

The "immigrants" mostly filling the vacuum between the ears of bigots are overwhelmingly First Americans of various latitudes, continentals predating the later emergence of borders [and the petty jealousies entailed therein] and squatter arrivistes.

They're already "home."

But now buffeted by a tidal wave of abject ignorance.

@Susan_Larson_TN Just of the last two days:

"Trump puts all US government diversity staff on paid leave, effective 'immediately'"

"Trump administration halts NIH grant-making process, sending shockwaves into scientific research"

"Federal workers warned to report efforts to "disguise" DEI"

@Susan_Larson_TN
This also destroys a #Republican legacy, that of #GeorgeHWBush, who considered expansion of #CivilRights in the workplace to be one of his great accomplishments. I wonder if #GeorgeWBush is still sitting well with his honestly shocking decision not to endorse #Harris when his staff did.
