@JamesSurowiecki Not a single kid who is taught about Rosa Parks in school knows about this.
English
Setting aside that everyone knows this story, I don't even understand what the complaint here is. The civil rights movement was fighting a vicious system of legalized racial discrimination and oppression. How is it a problem that they were strategic in combating it?

We have literally been lied to about everything Matt Walsh “The Rosa Parks story you were taught in school was fake too. This was not just some woman on her way home from work. Civil rights leaders thought Parks would make a sympathetic face for their lawsuit and then told her, a longtime NAACP volunteer, to create a situation where she'd be arrested. This gets sold to the public as totally organic when actually it's playacting to create ideal conditions for a court case or scandal. The iconic photo of Parks on the bus was staged months after the incident as part of a press campaign. (The photo is shown in the clip) The white man, sitting behind her in the bus photo was a journalist, which you probably didn't know.” Let’s fact check this. It’s 100% true What Actually Happened on December 1, 1955 Rosa Parks was a longtime NAACP volunteer and secretary of the Montgomery chapter. She had been deeply involved in civil rights activism for years (including work on cases like the Recy Taylor rape and voter registration efforts). She was not just a random tired seamstress on her way home from work who spontaneously refused to move. Local civil rights leaders had been looking for a strong test case to challenge bus segregation. They even had people cast for the role before Rosa Parks. Earlier attempts include 15 year old Claudette Colvin were passed over because leaders felt Rosa Parks, a mature, respected, married woman with a spotless reputation, would be a more sympathetic plaintiff in court and to the public The Iconic Photo was 100% staged The famous photo was taken on December 21, 1956, this is over a year after her arrest and on the first day the buses were integrated after the Supreme Court ruling It was deliberately staged by journalists, Look Magazine and UPI, for a press campaign to dramatize the victory The white man sitting behind her is Nicholas Chriss, a UPI reporter, not a random angry passenger or segregationist

Reading this headline you’d think Yale admitted 50 or 100 or 1000 black medical students. It is the grand total of 44 black students compared to 100s of Asian and White students that has caused this furor. Sending hugs to all black students who will suffer abuse.

@JeffAnderson_ This is interesting, but it's not a rebuttal. Both can be true.
English
Yale School of Medicine Has a total of 553 students across All four classes.
Total Black students: 44. That’s ~10 per class.
Total Asian students: 157. That’s ~40 per class.
There are nearly as many Asian students PER CLASS as there are Black students in the entire school.
Black: 14% of America. Only 7% of Yale Med
Asian: 7% of America. 28% of Yale Med.
Who exactly is getting discriminated against here ?

At Yale Medical School, a black applicant is 29 times more likely to be invited to interview than an Asian with equally strong academics. Today, @CivilRights told Yale that its use of race in admissions is ILLEGAL—and that @TheJusticeDept will step in to enforce Title VI. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

@Alacritic_Super @BernieSanders Moronic statement.
They take nothing. You have no clue what you're ranting about

@BernieSanders If CEOs take billions while cutting jobs, what example does that set?
Don't be shocked when employees tokenmaxx or quiet quit.
Fish rots from head. Culture rots from tax form.

Amazon cut 30,000 jobs & got a $7.8 billion tax break
Meta cut 8,000 jobs & got an $8 billion tax break
PayPal cut 4,800 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes
Disney cut 1,000 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes
Corporate tax breaks don't create jobs. They enrich the 1%.
English
@BernieSanders Corporate tax breaks plunder money and wealth from the American people.
But they also destroy jobs and competition because it subsidizes predatory greed.
It's time to tax the rich and make them pay taxes.

As early as February, I began receiving credible reporting that @DNIGabbard's investigative team was being track and communications collected because their work was revealing "uncomfortable facts."
Today, James Erdman alleged to Congress the CIA illegally spied on the computer and phones belonging to the Director's Initiatives Group, along with their investigations and contact with whistleblowers.
@CIASpox said, "The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul. This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous."

EXCLUSIVE: Credible sources tell me that elements of the Intelligence Community (IC), federal law enforcement and Congress have targeted @DNIGabbard' s Director's Initiative Group or DIG because it revealed "uncomfortable facts and findings" on several matters entrenched members of these bureaucracies don't want out there. I understand the push has been to "disband, dismantle or diminish the impact of the DIG and its work." As one example, I confirmed through multiple sources that the report and findings into Directed Energy Attacks or AHIs (Anomalous Health Incidents) were finalized and prepped for release weeks ago. But there is strong IC resistance to releasing it. DNI Gabbard committed to a new review of so-called Havana Syndrome after our 2025 independent investigation. Our reporting revealed that brain injuries suffered by US spies, diplomats, military operatives and civilians are progressive and can lead to brain cell death and atrophy. When it was launched by DNI Gabbard, the DIG's stated goal was "rebuilding trust in the IC" by "investigating weaponization, rooting out deep-seeded politicization, exposing unauthorized disclosures of classified intelligence, and declassifying information that serves a public interest." In response to our question's about the status and future of DIG, a DNI spokesperson said -- “The Director remains committed to rooting out politicization and weaponization in the IC and revealing the truth to the American people.” We are reaching out to multiple agencies for comment to advance the reporting. We will update as warranted.

Elon Musk is bashing Christopher Nolan for #TheOdyssey casting, alleging the director cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy because he “wants the awards.”
In additional X posts, Musk re-tweeted posts that mocked Elliot Page’s masculinity and claimed that Nolan was stomping all over Homer’s grave because of his casting choices.
