This is the truly maddening part.
And the part that I don’t understand from the morons who continue to defend this shit because, well, they’re morons.
Oh, and because Trump is a convicted felon.
I’m sure some of that is true. Where I work they try doing some of this and are trying to change policy but the one obstacle they have trouble overcoming is reality.
In schools, the belief that’s pushed as fact on teachers, in spite of zero evidence, is that black students are punished for infractions that white students aren’t. The reasoning is that the disproportionate number of suspensions points to inequities in how students are disciplined with regard to race. The solution is to punish white kids to fix the gap but then reality shows that white kids don’t commit infractions as much as black kids. But, since teachers are told there is a race (racist) based discrepancy, they hesitate to report infractions committed by black kids.
The school that gets used as an example is 89% black and 8% white. 97% of infractions were committed by black students and 1% by white students. They insist that the disproportionality is due to white kids not having their infractions reported. They never presented any evidence that that was the case. It’s just assumed to be true because the other possibility, black students commit infractions at a higher rate, can’t be true. So if they can’t create real equity, they’ll manufacture it by underreporting infractions by black kids to even up the numbers.
This is what happens at these meetings and workshops. They cultivate a sense of guilt, using terms like implicit bias, to influence policy.

We needed a book to tell us something we already know and, happened not that long ago? Did he think we forgot?
You get an A+ today.
We’re flipping 'em left and right in Maine. The only legs Maine Democrats have left is the rigged system of elections, their base of cult members who won’t give it up (often deeply invested in it), and calling their opponents monsters and everything that historically leads to.
Its still a tripod, for now.
On the plus side wrt Klan activities, Maine is FUCKEN AHMED, we still have a state constitution, and people are growing in their understanding of what has been happening in the last six years.
The Maine Reddit Klan says a lot of wild shit, just like that KKK paper, and boy does it get a lot of upvotes. The sad truth is that many who latch on to the ideology and especially transgenderism are unwell people on some heavy medication, so you never know what the future holds when you make enough of them REALLY mad. The KKK just had alcoholics and probably some typical drug users of the era. These people have access to way more than that. Easy access.
In fact, we literally provide for all of your needs if you want to pursue fentanyl use, except for the fentanyl itself.
I guess this is what living through history feels like.
It’s just assumed to be true because the other possibility, black students commit infractions at a higher rate, can’t be true. So if they can’t create real equity, they’ll manufacture it by underreporting infractions by black kids to even up the numbers.
And the ironic part is that this exact thing is why black communities are not improving.
They don’t want them to. By insisting it’s the system and “whiteness” that are the problems, they can force the system to change.

Wait…I’m gonna tie this in to Big Pharma!
Maine was like the drug trials before the finished product Rollout. A small state (the trial “participants”) with a red voting area, a Rino Senator, -nice microcosm of the country, so a representative trial group. Straight out of the pharma playbook.
AG Pam Bondi stating that Epstein list stuff will start being released tomorrow. Says that they have been spending time making sure the information of the victims is protected. Optimistically, I will take her at her word.
Drain the mothereffing swamp. I can’t wait.

I think there might be a bit of odd circumstance that led to Maine becoming a prototype for the whole mass migration takeover of elections, but that’s part of what I’m tackling in the book. It’s a weird story so far.
What the initial Somalian migration definitely did was lay the non profit model down to be expanded down the line. Our current Mayor actually campaigned on us becoming a “service city”, which is what they’ve made us into, Lewiston citizens be damned.
With a national average of 1 in 10 non profit employment rates and Maine’s average of 1 in 6, I wouldn’t be surprised if Lewiston is closer to 1 in 4, or perhaps even higher.
We’ll see how the federal funding web ends up unraveling and what’s left afterwards, but the cuts are definitely being felt in Maine.
Well, we should get an idea of how serious they are about all of this.
Oh boy! I’m giddy!
And how many billionaires does Trump have in his admin.?
More likely spending time making sure the predators are protected. What to leave in, what to leave out.
They are a dirty motherfucking industry that needs to be eliminated.
Where am I supposed to get my heart meds, Genius?
I confess I go to sleep every night with adoring eyes transfixed upon the Elon Musk plushie nestled in my loving arms.
Almost everyone I’d rather not run into while shopping has posted about the same “Economic Black Out” tomorrow, although this is the first I’ve heard Al Sharpton’s name attached to it.
I’ve always imagined him as having a volcanic lair where he monitors the nation’s activities. When an opportunity for some race hustling arises, he hops into his supersonic VTOL, takes off from the volcano’s secret hangar, accelerates to Mach 3 to reach his destination, and then rappels down to where his race hustling is needed most.
It seems the only likely explanation for how he has covered so much ground during my life.
What if this supposed to accomplish? Even if no one buys anything tomorrow, they’re still gonna buy it eventually. And why is there more then one bullet point? Does the first one not cover all of the rest?
