What is the difference between honest ignorance (which we all have on any number of topics, and if we're humble, we learn) and prideful ignorance ("I know everything already, shut up")?

This man

He came to the #Wisconsin state legislature to speak against #genderAffirmingCare. Instead, after listening to testimony, he apologized and said he learned a lot

On #socialMedia we are drowning in #bigotry

But, sometimes, you can educate those who will listen

#Trump signed a new #ExecutiveOrder instructing admin ofcls to alter a #StudentLoanForgiveness program for #PublicServants to exclude nonprofit groups that engage in activities that have what he erroneously called a “substantial illegal purpose.” His order targets groups supporting undocumented #immigrants, #diversity initiatives or #gender-affirming care for children, among others.

Fuck Gavin Newsom.

What the hell was he doing on a Charlie Kirk podcast anyway?

EDIT: This was Gavin’s podcast. He invited Charlie Kirk on his own podcast on the debut episode. That’s actually a lot worse.

The Congressional #Hispanic Caucus [#CHC] released a statement hitting back at the #Republicans attack on its chairperson.

“This #xenophobic rhetoric from #Trump Republicans proves that you can follow the #law, get your papers, become a #citizen, get elected to #Congress — swear multiple #oaths to protect & defend the #Constitution — & all you will ever be to Trump Republicans: an ‘illegal immigrant,’” the group wrote in a post.

#Espaillat has been a US citizen for >40 years & is the first formerly undocumented immigrant to serve in #Congress. When his family first immigrated to the US from the #DominicanRepublic roughly 60 years ago, they briefly overstayed their tourist visa but obtained green cards within the year, acc/to HuffPost. [that’s the extent of his former 50 years ago “undocumented” status]

"#Musk's #DOGE fires federal tech team that built free #tax-filing site"

#MAGA parasocially identifies with #plutocracy robbing them. Rich MAGA "doesn't pay #taxes." Poor MAGA hates taxes

So they think this is for them! "This hurts black people" and so they like it

The trick is mind-numbingly simple:

Be a stupid *poor* cruel ghoul

Adore *rich* cruel ghouls

Who rob them, see them as cattle to abuse

And they never. fucking. see. it.

She added: "Now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools."

#Health Secy #RFKJr announced Wed that his department had issued new “guidance on sex-based definitions” aimed, in part, at keeping #transgender women & girls out of female sports & fulfilling #Trump’s pledge that the federal government will recognize only two sexes: male & female.

"Musk and his online minions often refer to #liberals as NPCs, or nonplayer characters, a #VideoGame term referring to the figures who populate the background of #games...

as they see it, most of humanity is simply not #human. We are ants, or even less: bits of #programming to be moved around at Elon’s whim...

Any suffering he brings down on NPCs is meaningless"

#ElonMusk ridiculed a blind person on X. Then the mob went to work.

Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette works at the Project on Government Oversight, a nonpartisan watchdog group focused on reducing bureaucratic waste. He also happens to be blind. So when he criticized Musk’s US #DOGE Service in testimony on Capitol Hill last week, #Musk unleashed an online attack Hedtler-Gaudette described as “surreal” in its #juvenile #bigotry.
