The Canadian and Mexican governments could set up COVID booster clinics just past the drive-in border crossings, and right near the exits at airports. Require a US passport, charge a service fee of $25, and have a kiosk to let the recipient send a personalized email to RFK Jr.
1. Good news for transgender people in Michigan. Multiple state senators confirm with Erin In The Morning that they will NOT take up the transgender sports ban passed by the Michigan House. Democrats are holding strong for trans youth in the state. Subscribe to support my journalism.

@jeffowski so true! Even though it's hard to choose differently, when all your social environment thrives on hatred.
@jeffowski for the GOP it is not a choice, it is a living.
@jeffowski Ok; and perhaps identifying as #white is a choice. But what ELSE are they supposed to identify as? That's a light-skinned opportunity and not my problem.

@gdsherif ---

LMAO... Are you mixed race?

I'm Asian and European. I will never be white enough for white society and I will never be Asian enough for Asian society.

Why don't people simply identify as human?

I think your comment directly points to the internalization of race within certain groups, even though everyone clearly recognizes it as a construct.

Makes you go Hmmmm.

@jeffowski @gdsherif back in the 90s I hung out with some Irish dudes who insisted that Italians were half black, therefore the Irish Boston guys wouldn’t associate with the Italian Boston guys. They had a derogatory name for Italians that I don’t remember. “Half a (something beginning with an M?)”

So even pure blood Italians are not considered white by the racists. I think they had opinions about Greek people as well, but they didn’t clash with those guys.

@maggiejk @jeffowski I sometimes wonder if race and class are ways to divide workers. Sure, American dark-skinned folk claim the “B” as in Black, and that’s cool. My biological people are Irish Catholic, Ukrainian Jewish, and Albanian/Sudanese Moslem by way of Egypt (Kemet).

@gdsherif @jeffowski Noel Ignatiev is a racist with a hidden agenda. And he's not a white male himself.

"If you are a white male, you don't deserve to live. You are a cancer, you're a disease, white males have never contributed anything positive to the world!

Noel Ignatiev"

@jeffowski Just to be clear, I'm not for "Hate is a choice"...
@jeffowski :Yes,a bad choice. Always
@jeffowski Race is only compulsory because those that consider themselves “white” keep insisting it’s real. Totally delulu.

@jeffowski

And ignorance.

The age of information is gone. It was really great. We are now in the age of disinformation. It's less great

@jeffowski i choo choo choose to hate fascism
@jeffowski Sorry: Hate is no choice. Love is the choice.

@jeffowski
Empathy is a choice
Kindness is a choice
Love is a choice

There are so many joys

@jeffowski If sexual orientation was a choice I would not be attracted to men. I was going to say that human women are the only species who date their only natural predator, but I’m sure that’s incorrect. Male Praying mantis’ seek a mate even though she will eat their head after.

But otherwise I think it’s just us.
