I have immense respect for Mark Cuban but am baffled by the notion that free speech doesn’t refer to allowing/respecting all viewpoints, but rather “promoting” them.

Crazy that a United States Senator can openly violate civil rights law on Twitter

He’s in luck: The ratio of total millionaires to billionaires in America is roughly 23,600 to 1.

This is one of my favorite bits, where they just straight up tell you they want to pay unlivable wages to brown people to pick their crops or clean their toilets but somehow you’re the racist for wanting to stop it

The thing that never happens happened again
A Massachusetts family says the state took custody of their teenage daughter after they refused to affirm her as a boy, citing their Catholic faith.
The parents allege a school counselor socially transitioned their daughter without their knowledge, then reported them to the Department of Children and Families.
Now the state has guardianship, and a restraining order prevents the teen's parents and older brother from contacting her.
A judge has temporarily blocked the state from administering high-dose testosterone as the family fights the case. The next court hearing is set for Oct. 29. | @LaurenGreenFox @AmericaNewsroom

COVID is such a funny topic for anyone who has a memory longer than 6 years. The right at the beginning was concerned about this disease and called for locking down travel from infected countries. The left called this racist, Nancy Pelosi went to China town and told people to hug a Chinese person. Trump spearheaded the vax development the left claimed they would never take the Trump shot.
Then the same people who called shutting down flights to China racist started saying your kids can’t go to school anymore. The ones that said they’d never take the Trump shot we’re going to fire you if you didn’t take it.
It’s ok to admit pretty much everyone lost their heads during the pandemic. It’s pretty dumb to pretend that never happened.

THEY DID THE MEME!!! THEY DID THE MEME!!!!!!!!!!
So now fishing is bad just because Brown people are the ones doing it to survive? You bad faith conservatives make me sick.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video and local reports show immigrants dragging a live baby bottlenose dolphin ashore in Ceuta and beating it to death with a stick, not fishing. This violates Spanish law strictly protecting cetaceans from capture or harm.

"But she was mentally ill!"
Oh shoot, really? I thought she was one of those psychologically healthy child murderers.
AtlasMitchell retweeted
Once you take "gender affirming" drugs and have "gender affirming" surgeries, there is no going back. It is PERMANENT.
Could you imagine being stuck with a decision you made as a child for the rest of your life? What if that decision left you with missing body parts and sterilized?
No child has the mental capacity to make these choices and any adult advocating for them to do so is a monster, point blank.

I replied to Derek but I thought this is worth bringing to the front:
There isn't a good right-wing equivalent to Woke 1.0 because Woke 1.0 was a massive and insanely powerful cultural force that was the most disruptive, censorious, and vindictive movement since McCarthyism
Here are some things that happened during Woke 1.0:
- The MLB ripped an All-Star game away from Atlanta over politics
- Mass censorship across every social media network, including censorship of academics and gov't officials
- the unpublishing of massively popular children's books and the industry-wide crackdown on even allowing third parties to sell used copies of those books
- Racially motivated lockout from publishing and academia that remains to this day
- If we're counting post-Floyd events, a 40% increase in the murder rate (it was so craaaazy)
- mass firings over vaccines (even among pregnant women and remote workers)
There is nothing even remotely equivalent like that on the right. People are saying "2020 election truthers" but that isn't something that made any difference to the lives of normal people.
what would be the republican equivalent of democrats deciding that woke 1.0 was crazy?
i think it ~might~ be something like: a party-wide acknowledgement that their party leader, now polling at record lows, really did lose the 2020 election and doesn't deserve kingly featly while he rakes in billions in crypto schemes as inflation rises and iran squeezes the strait of hormuz.
so while i think conservatives are right to be miffed about lefties saying "ha ha whoopsies" about the worst SJW nonsense of the early 2020s, the bigger story, i think, isn't democrats letting go of woke 1, but rather the republicans' amazing inability to let go of the million-pound anchor dragging down the party

In 2020 a mob toppled the Ulysses S. Grant bust in Golden Gate Park. In 2026, SF still can't summon the courage to put it back up.
He defeated the Confederacy, crushed the Klan, and enforced Reconstruction, and his bust sits in storage.

These young women are heroines. They're peacefully protesting against the grotesque unfairness of men playing in women's sport. The only people who are "f*cking insane" here are those making a mockery of fair sport for women and trying to bully girls like this into silence.
Last night, @seattlestorm co-owner Celeste Keaton cursed out two teen girls for wearing @xx_xyathletics shirts, calling them "f*cking insane." One of them was left in tears. I tried to get security involved and was told I should email the front office.

America is such an incredible nation, even the poorest people are overfed and obese, and the people who whine the loudest about the country refuse to leave.

I am finding the entire discussion surrounding the SPLC revelations to be insane. We can argue the specific charges, but how can anyone defend what they were doing?
The defense some people have settled on here is that they were paying informants, like law enforcement sometimes does. Except they aren't law enforcement?
There is no special exemption for funding criminal activities from hate groups just because you claim to also be fighting them. Also, the amounts they were paying far exceeded what anyone would need just to gather information. Millions of dollars in funding for the very people they were pretending to fight.
The truth is, they were treating this like a business.
It worked as a business model. They spent a few million to help fund hateful extremists and then raised tens of millions based on highlighting the growth of the very threats they helped fund.
Meanwhile, they would also often conflate political opponents with those extremists, thereby also providing cover for hate groups.
The country would be much better off if the SPLC were put out of business.

If we are taking Bethany at her word, she's telling us that Hill reporters are *not allowed* to talk about scandals or stories that they are not specifically assigned to
She's telling us that her entire industry is about narrative building, not truth seeking
