This is what white supremacy AND anti-Blackness looks like…so I’ll say this AGAIN…don’t tell me shit about the how “progressive” Medicare 4 All is WITHOUT sharing an accompanying strategy that addresses MEDICAL RACISM

Also further proof that the conversation around, and the overturning of, Roe v Wade has ALWAYS been about preserving white birth rates

I’ve said it before, but I need to say again that I take it personally when community conferences choose a fun or familiar location over one that is safe for their LGBTQIA+ and even women attendees at a time of historic, concerted legislative and criminal attacks against us. It tells me absolutely all I need to know about your leadership and care for the diverse cybersecurity community. There are plenty of affordable venues in places that aren’t banning emergency healthcare and harassing people for using the bathroom.
Today would be a lot less remarkable if Gerald Ford hadn't been a chicken.

Imagine where this country would be today without the anti-democratic institution of the #ElectoralCollege which no democracy born after ours has copied.

#Trump never would’ve seen a classified document were it not for the Electoral College.

I was just reminded by a friend that today is the seventh anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre, where 49 people were killed and another 53 wounded. It’s shocking this event isn’t discussed more often— except that it was a gay nightclub, so we know why it isn’t.

I don’t know what to say. I’m not good at this sort of thing. But I do want the friends and family members, the survivors, to know that I will never forget that night. Never. To anyone who might see this: you’re in my thoughts and on my heart tonight.

In underreported news, the EPA reversed a Trump-era decision on plastic processing, which closes a major loophole that allowed the chemical industry to pass off toxic disposal as sustainable recycling. It isn’t.

Elections affect who runs the EPA. That also matters.

EPA opts to maintain existing pyrolysis air rules

Ample time and staff resources are needed to study and gain a technical and regulatory understanding of the air quality impacts of pyrolysis. In the meantime, the process should remain subject to more stringent regulatory requirements, the U.S. EPA decided.

It would be nice if the corporate news media didn’t treat Trump as a normal politician who has simply run into a little legal trouble, but as a traitor who compromised America’s national security for personal gain instead. They should be confronting Republicans who still support him on this too. #TraitorTrump
Perhaps my memory is faulty, but I seem to remember that there was a time when espionage, sedition, treason, and attempting a coup would have been considered dealbreakers for the Republican Party. The former "Party of LIncoln" now seems to be a Confederacy of Dunces.
