“AR Gov Sanders suggests course on Black history spreads ‘hate’ against U.S.”

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Some white people were enslavers. Other white people were abolitionists. If you think teaching that accurate history “spreads hate”—then you’ll have to first explain why you associate more with enslavers than with abolitionists?🤔

    Baja doesn’t have much infrastructure as is, with most of the peninsula without enough fresh water to sustain growth outside of the already established villages and cities. Hurricane Hilary is a significant threat to its vulnerable, beautiful communities - keep an eye on them, because I’m sure socal will get all the attention from the news cycles.

    I talked to @parismarx on the Tech Won't Save Us podcast about my dilemma in covering given it's not clear how much they truly intend to follow through on their stated goals vs. just pump the token.

    Take the ability to block away, and Twitter immediately becomes utterly unusable for anyone who doesn’t revel in being overwhelmed by an avalanche of racist, misogynistic, bigoted filth - and that’s intentional, of course. An incitement of abuse.

    I’ve fought over 350 BC coastal wildfires from 1981-93 and I’ve never seen anything like what’s happening now in our country with the current wildfire behaviour, prevalence, areas covered and consistency.

    NEW: The “Heartstopper” books have been restricted to the adult section of the Columbia-Marion County Public Library and now require parental permission.

    Now, the residents who pushed to ban the gay coming-of-age series are targeting 14 other YA books.

    'The family fears he could return and try to take revenge for their efforts to publicise the case at the time of the trial. The family’s refusal to stay quiet meant the case resonated with the public, and the police who failed to show up to the repeated calls for help from the neighbours were even tried for negligence' - living in fear as convicted murderers freed to fight for return

    Seeing national and international organizations (thinking of UN organizations but also independent media) on Twitter is starting to look and feel so absurd. There's this W3C standard called , you know.
    European Union and BBC now run their own servers. Are there more good examples I can bring up? Any national governments?
