A ProPublica/Washington Post analysis of Facebook posts, internal company documents and interviews, provides the clearest evidence yet that the social media giant played a critical role in spreading lies that fomented the violence of Jan. 6.
The former guy complained that expanding voting rights would set a stage where "Republicans could never get elected again." Frankly, since the Republican Party has been destroyed by his influence and corruption, that would be fine.
Anti-vax hysteria obscures the fact that a vast river of money is being spent on hospitalization of those who bought into anti-vax messaging.
Desmond Tutu didn’t just get us to march against something. He got us to march for something, for a better day, for a better world. Tutu “said no” to injustice, and—the critical difference—he “said yes” to goodness.

Racism is rooted in fear, and fear is rooted in what we don’t know and can’t see. It’s not even so much a thought or personal policy. Racism is an involuntary REACTION. And it must, for it’s true power and volition, descend from one who holds the power to one who does not.
