I am a scientist
I seek to understand me
All of my impurities and evils yet unknown
I am a journalist
I write to you to show you
I am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me

2/2. "2.0" *IF* the black/brown representative loses, REP party steps in and says, "See! The DEMs are not the party for YOU! Come join our party because we get you!" (🤥) Purpose-filled fracturing of an electorate to legitimate/entrench minoritarian rule.

It's pretty clear that the Christian Nationalist pushing hardcore minoritarian rule do not support democracy if it means they might lose.

I'll say it again, *this* is gender ideology.

Now *that* is gender ideology.

This from the great AP photographer Ashley Landis-+ @ashphotog on the Instagram....;)

For example,"...By incorrectly blaming female teachers, society may also end up downplaying some of the gendered harassment that girls and their female teachers experience — another problem that doesn’t seem to be abating..." 2/2

it went something like this. ...

Like your []'ing. it resonates with the ways Im trying to understand certain parts of our current predicament:*I* can't help but wonder if the success [MAGA] enjoyed in disinformation and other kinds cyber campaigns gave them a false sense of ..superiority that doesn't translate to actual [politics]
