Oh, so one of the cities with the lowest levels of racial equality also has a problem with transphobia? I’m not shocked, I’m not surprised. Between this and the people in Springfield Ohio instilling fear in the towns Haitian residents, I will never understand how people can become so hateful.
Tania Cepero López, a faculty union leader, isn’t a caricature of a leftist university professor. An English instructor at Florida International University, she has voted for Republicans and is married to a conservative Republican.
…
She has watched in horror in recent years, she said, as she saw the same government interference into education in the United States that she experienced in her native Cuba.
I hope Tania and her husband learned something from this. Who am I kidding, they’ll probably support and vote for Republicans down ballot and wonder why things are getting worse. Good luck to the students of conservative run states.

Rundle acknowledged that studies have raised concerns about the technology’s accuracy and fairness. “You cannot rely on this for probable cause alone,” she said.
However, her office said it could not commit to reviewing all 186 cases identified by The Post. In an email, Chief Assistant State Attorney Kathleen Hoague said “it is more important for us to work on a policy moving forward.”

Despite a New Jersey appeals court ruling that Arteaga had a right to information about his AI match, the NYPD, which conducted the search for police in New Jersey, declined to provide it. Prosecutors in New Jersey reduced the charges against Arteaga as a result.
By then, Arteaga had spent four years in jail awaiting trial. Though he maintains his innocence, he said he pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery to get back to his two children. Caitlin Mota, a spokeswoman for the Hudson County prosecutor, declined to comment.
got me. My disappointment with the legal system continues to grow, seemingly, endlessly.
Here’s a fun article about how different people are treated differently for the same crime. You gotta love the good ol’ U.S. of A.
That’s certainly possible, but I think they’re afraid of Trump and the Trump base. Whenever a Republican goes against Trump, he calls them out and his base picks up the message and goes on the attack. Not only are their rivals in primaries supported, they’re also threatened with violence. And, unsurprisingly, even when they’re on the receiving end of Trump’s ire, they will still vote for him:
The fallout “was like a tsunami,” Rogers said in an interview. “There’s people that actually worship Trump like a deity.” He still plans to vote for Trump, dismissing Democrats as too far left.
They’ll call everyone else a radical leftist Marxist, yet they’ll never reflect ‘Did we shift too far to the right?’ It’s such that, I believe, a copy of Ronald Reagan would be labeled a communist by the current Republican party.
Right! I use silicone spatulas because I like the slight bit of flop it has, but there are options besides pan scratching metal and really crappy, pan saving plastic spatulas.
Maybe not all of them were ready for violence, but a lot of them were prepared. They didn’t forget to bring guns, many had guns on them inside the Capitol building.. There were people with zip-tie handcuffs.. They were a hair’s breadth away from politicians who were their targets of ire, who they believed were stealing their country, when Ashli Babbitt breached the last barrier and reached the last line of defense before being shot. Behind Babbitt was a hallway/staircase full of insurrectionists.
Few started the day with a desire to get into the Capitol. Many were swept up in the moment by following far right extremist groups who were executing a plan to get in. Though we know how far they went following those extremists, we’ll never know how much farther they would have gone had those same extremists managed to reach politicians. Thank goodness they were stopped otherwise this may be a very different country.
Right! It took me all of 10s of seconds searching and a few minutes of reading to find that this was all BS coming out of Putin’s friend who runs the boxing organization which was banned by the IOC for shady dealings; and the disqualification for one boxer happened days after she beat a Russian boxer who was undefeated until that fight; and no one has come out to say exactly why both were disqualified.
Banned governing body that’s fueling outcry on Olympic boxers has Russian ties and troubled history
Summary-
The disqualifications were done in a tournament run by an organization banned by the Olympics.
Both boxers participated in tournaments run by this organization with no issues for the last several years.
The organization hasn’t said why they were disqualified.
The man spouting the ‘trans woman’ claims is the leader of the organization. He’s a friend of Putin and described as a drug trafficker.
The disqualification for Khelif happened after she beat the previously undefeated Russian boxer Amineva 3 days post fight.
Strangely, nobody who’s up in arms about the weird claim has looked into who made it, when, the context around it, or an explanation for it. They just ate it up.
Is it actually culture shock or is he just glad that it’s so familiar?
