“Overall, KPERS projects the legislation could mean the pension fund would reap as much as $3.6 billion less in investment returns.”

Just in case anyone wanted to put a dollar figure on anti-woke #politicalstunts

“Republican presidential hopefuls are vowing to wage a war on "woke," but a new USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll finds a majority of Americans are inclined to see the word as a positive attribute, not a negative one.”

Woke means recognizing that America has not lived up to its promise of “liberty and justice for all” and trying to live up to that promise.

And the @GOP are villainously anti-woke.

US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger on Tuesday ripped into Fox News host Tucker Carlson over his commentary about footage from the January 6, 2021, insurrection that he aired Monday night, saying the host "cherry-picked" from the footage to present "offensive" and "misleading" conclusions about the attack.

“Walgreens announced last week that it would go ahead and refuse to dispense mifepristone in 20 states, in response to threatening letters from Republican attorneys general, because Walgreens is a fuckin' coward. California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat obviously, has responded to that announcement by saying fine, then the state of California will quit doing business with Walgreens.”

The @GOP has stripped all nuance, understanding, or expertise from every policy they had.

Now it’s just a race to the fear-filled bottom for all of them, through lies, bullying, the the ever-present and growing threat of violence.

That isn’t governing. It’s dictating.

For anyone who misses Twitter, I did as well, sometimes….

But that Twitter is no more. The new Twitter - v2.0, I guess - is ran by a man perfectly willing to fire a person with a disability, because of that disability, and then proceed to mock and bully him.

If that isn’t enough to be “over” Twitter…whatever version…I guess nothing will be. I am very much done with Musk and and the Villians, Inc group that he represents.

Violence, intimidation, and threats are the only tools the @GOP know how to use.

Woke = standing up for everyone’s right for equality and Justice.

@FoxNews is definitely anti-woke. No way they show a straight white Christian male committing crimes to protect their own privilege.

Everyone else is fair game.
