@chibears99 @CourtneyRCronin @NFL Ryan Poles benefited from it, now he thinks it’s strange. Hilarious. Bears hadn’t hired a Black GM in its 100yr history. And still wouldn’t have without that rule.

@CourtneyRCronin Has anyone asked the non white coaches, management, etc how they really feel about the Rooney Rule and if it insulting to them to be used as a tool to gain picks and be a DEI hire because of color of their skin and not because of what they can bring to a football team?

Ryan Poles' overall view of the rule that minority candidates who leave their club to become GMs at another net their former team draft compensation: "I mean I’ll be honest. I think it is a little strange. At the end of the day, you should want to develop your staff regardless of the color of their skin. I think that is important. I think we take a lot of pride with the Bears in our setup and I take a lot of pride in that. So to be compensated for that is a little strange. I saw the Chiefs get a pick because of me and then I watched that player go and play. It’s just a little odd. But if at the end of the day, they think that’s what is best to help incentivize, then that’s what they want to do. But at the end of the day, like I said, that’s not the purpose of why we develop our staff. But if that is the rule they have in place, I think it’s very clear in the situation what should happen. We’ll see what they think."

@DaveEvans5555 @rn_independent @JonahDispatch @jonkarl Lack of standing isn’t technical bs. It’s literally the basis of a cause of action - the right party has to sue! Trump’s federal govt has ZERO standing problems now. What else? They have subpoena power to get all that info and compel all of that testimony. Guess why they won’t.
English
@rn_independent @JonahDispatch @jonkarl I don’t believe either of those things. You have no clue how the courts dealt with the lawsuits. Most didn’t weight the evidence at all, but rather disallowed the causes to move forward because of lack of standing and other bs technicalities.
Just keep watching, angry RN.

This stuff is truly crazy ... claims that Italian spy satellites ... the CIA ... the FBI ... China all conspired tried to steal the 2020 election. Oh, and Obama tried to overthrow the government he led in 2016.
In the hours after FBI agents seized 2020 election ballots from an elections facility in Georgia on Wednesday, President Trump posted a series of thoroughly discredited conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election -- and the 2016 election too.

I was watching Netflix’s new series Death by Lightning. It’s set in Chicago, 1880 - and this establishing scene pops up.
In the foreground:
•an Asian woman,
•two Black men,
•and a one-legged man - all walking together downtown.
It immediately stuck out to me, so I looked up the actual demographics for Chicago in 1880.
Here’s what the numbers say:
•Chicago’s population: about 503,000
•Black population: 6,500 (≈1.3%)
•Chinese population: 172 total (≈0.03%)
•Chinese women? About 3% of that - meaning roughly 5 total in the entire city.
•Disabled/one-legged men from the Civil War era? Plausible, maybe 0.1–0.2% of the population.
So if you ran the math on the odds of seeing all of that - an Asian woman, two Black men, and an amputee - in one random 50-person crowd downtown, it comes out to about 0.00016%, or roughly 1 in 640,000.
In other words, Netflix made a scene that’s about as statistically likely as spotting a UFO on your morning commute - but hey, at least the diversity box got checked.

What a lame take. Wilbon puts on full display what is wrong in today’s society….he “used to like him”??? But because he made his political and religious views known it makes him a “divisive” figure. Weak.

@lucas_wolfe30 @mamijtres @ericmmatheny No no…go back further than 20 yrs. Much further. Let’s include what your great great grandfathers were up to. If you want to tie violence to race, let’s really open it up. Put those genocides on your books and the numbers become laughable.

@mamijtres @ericmmatheny Such a lazy and pathetic reply. Let’s add up all the deaths from white male shootings and all deaths from black violence over the last 20 years and it won’t even be close who has caused more carnage

@Hillary60363296 @GovPressOffice Circle where Newsom wrote the word “citizenship” in his post. You’re too stupid for words, but he says take away his residency. These are two different things.
English
First, a U.S. state like California cannot take away citizenship from a resident, as the authority to grant or revoke citizenship lies exclusively with the federal government under the U.S. Constitution.
Second, Kid Rock sold his Malibu home in 2017. He does not own any property in California and I think his primary residence is in Tennessee.
So….. just another low IQ statement from the libtards working for Gavin Newscum.
English
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT KID ROCK IS NOT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR GREAT STATE, I AM GIVING SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO TAKING AWAY HIS RESIDENCY. HE IS A THREAT TO CALIFORNIA'S EARDRUMS, AND SHOULD REMAIN IN THE WONDERFUL STATE OF MICHIGAN, IF THEY WANT HIM. GOD BLESS AMERICA! — GCN

Hey @grok Examine states with six or more congressional seats. Compile a list of the five most egregious gerrymanders, defined as the biggest delta between the percentage of the congressional delegation a party wins & the percentage that party wins statewide.

Can ANYONE actually just tell the truth in the media or politics... @BarackObama you started this in 2016
AI Search:
Here’s what I’ve found regarding when Barack Obama began working on—or supporting—political redistricting (“maps”) initiatives after leaving the presidency:
⸻
Timeline & Post-Presidency Involvement
•2016 (during his final year in office): Obama co-founded and began supporting the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC)—designed as Democrats’ central strategy to combat Republican-led redistricting efforts, particularly those born out of the 2010 REDMAP initiative . While technically launched in 2017, its groundwork began before he exited the White House.
•2017–2018: After leaving office in January 2017, Obama scaled back other initiatives (like merging Organizing for Action into the NDRC in December 2018), signaling his continuing focus on redistricting as a top post-presidency engagement .
axios.com/2017/12/15/oba…
Barack Obama@BarackObama
Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.

@wil_da_beast630 You just don’t know what genocide means.
English
"Genocide is a crime that can be committed without a single person dying."
Then, I'm fine with it.
The great weakness of the post-modernist is that word games do not actually change reality. If "genocide" now means "war," or even "teaching Hispanic kids in English," there are 100 fully justified genocides annually. #fuggouddahere
Alonso Gurmendi@Alonso_GD
Genocide is not and has never been defined as “killing everyone in sight”. Since 1948 genocide is a crime that can be committed without a single person dying. This popular notion comes rather from exceptionalising the Holocaust’s Final Solution as the only “real” type of genocide
