And they continually demand perfect allyship from black people, barely able to keep their racism from seeping out.

Once again white folks who have a marginalized identity think they do not have to work on their anti Blackness and their surface level understanding of community. Ugh

I have somehow stumbled into the dumbest Dem corner of Bluesky. Please help.

When future historians periodize US history, 2013 will mark the end of the US's first era of officially consensual multiracial democracy. After Shelby County v Holder began a period of acute struggle over democracy in the states and eventually at the federal level. The denouement remains to be seen

Eleven years ago, SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act in #ShelbyCounty, arguing that "things have changed" since the 1960s. Today, we know that things have changed since this ruling: namely, that the turnout gap exploded in formerly-covered places 1/n www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

“It’s a very scary feeling,” Segal said, “that the leadership of universities in the academic world, with very, very, very, very, very few exceptions, are legitimizing this brutal assault on academic freedom, on free speech.”

This kind of argument about schools is a classic sign of authoritarianism. It’s the opposite of how officials who value individual rights and free society should speak about education.

It's really weird (it's not really weird) how states that ban abortions are also states where women can't get leave to take care of their children.

What?!? "American has previously issued new flight attendants a 'courtesy' letter..In it, the company says that flight attendants only earn $27,315, and asks the reader to provide courtesy where they can. Having dealt with landlords, I’m sure they’ll all accept this piece of paper in lieu of rent."

I knew flight attendants get screwed with pay per “flight hour” but I really did not know just how little they take home. These are below poverty wages for what is a stressful, full time job
