a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Texas has some of the best hospitals in the country, but too many children and families still can’t access the care they need.
I met with leadership from the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital to discuss how they’re developing innovative advancements in pediatric care.
it's Saturday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: February 8 edition" — Donny perceives it, Sporky believes it, and so much more...

This exchange between @rokhanna.bsky.social & @jdvanceoffical.bsky.social raises a number of questions including: why does someone the vice president of the United States seems to label a “racist troll on the Internet” and a “kid” have access to the sensitive personal data of millions of Americans?

Worth listening to this interview with @karaswisher.bsky.social and @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social ... Kara really has the smartest and what seems to me to be the most accurate take on Elon Musk that there is, because she has covered these tech bros for years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xXL...

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success.
Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success.
It's that simple.
Trump to install himself as chairman of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts? Is there anything this dictator doesn't want to control?

The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how.
And this is what the Dems focus on ?

The USA isn't investing $500bn in AI.
It is investing $500bn in a massive automated surveillance network that will record every single thing every American does.
Without needing the 500,000 people they currently have doing this.
I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.
I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

While this may be bad electoral politics for the GOP, it is essential to sucking up to Donald Trump. I expect that the billionaires will amplify the disinformation campaign.

Post quoting Maddow: If a guy got his job because the contents of an official government report into his alleged child sex trafficking was politically suppressed, and he's desperate to keep that hidden from the public, is that a good situation for the Attorney General of the U.S. to be in?
The cloud of suspicion should be enough to sink Gaetz’s nomination. Emphasis on should be.
