Meta was more worried about censoring conservatives while pedophiles flourished on their networks.

I removed the tweet preview and provided a link instead, since there is a bare male ass in the preview image.
Further context: It was from a supposedly family friendly parade in LA (local news broadcast it, afaik). Two guys in the bed of a truck, leather-clad, one guy whipping another's bare ass.
Yeah, but you need to go to like 40 pride events a year, have at least 70 friends of the LGBTQI2389!!)+ community, and go to at least 30 of their cookouts to understand why this is family friendly. Until you do that, you're ignorant. /ptown
Seriously though LOL at ptown trying to say pride events are family friendly, especially in cities where posters live/have lived.

Those people, among several more that I'm aware of, are progressives and/or democrat socialists that are well known on youtube, twitter and media publications with some of them being activists and have worked on political campaigns. And while some of those people have a much more prominent public reach than the others, I follow these people because even though I don't agree with much of their ideologies, I find them to be fair in their reasoning.
In the past month or so, each of them has been saying some variant of "selective prosecution" concerning Trump. I find this kind of perplexing because most people wouldn't attribute a progressive pointing out this sort of thing. If I had to guess it is because of people like the Squad almost always going along with whatever the democrats sling. It's also interesting because while we have seen back-biting, infighting and splintering within the republican party, it may come to the point where we see much of the same problems springing forth in the democrat party.
At any rate, I recommend checking some of these people out. Be curious.
So apparently a bunch of people on the right have been getting offended at being labeled "cis".
For those who don't mean, it just means that you are the sex you were given at birth. For example, when I was born, the doctor and nurses saw the little lady bits and marked "F" on the birth certificate. I'm now a woman and so that makes me cis, I guess. The word rose to popularity on Tumblr, I think, and the Clicktivists have all started using it on all the social medias. Eh... it personally don't offend me, I've been called worse; the b word, c word, etc, and even those don't bother me.
But LOL! at those who get their panties twisted about it. I don't get it.
I’m not convinced they actually care about being called it. If they do, then they’re whiny clowns. However, I agree with the premise of not using made up words from those people.
Every time I hear the audio recording of Trump showing classified docs to a couple of biographers, I can just see their eyeballs reading top secret intel....
Wow, truly a bombshell.
Democrat state senator keys a guys car for having a "Biden Sucks" sticker. Denies it, pulls the "I'm a state senator" card, calls the guy a "gun nut" but ultimately gets caught on video.
So affirmative action is out.

Good, I have lost numerous jobs in my life because of it.

It's funny watching the people who make everything about race crying that colleges can no longer lazily stereotype based on race.
Although I suppose they realize it was never actually about diversity and, well, people get upset when you take their handouts away.
And colleges can still use diversity, just that the courts have said you can't use race because it's a poor proxy for diversity.
Student loan forgiveness out, which everyone should have expected.
Compelled speech out. Embarrassing the 3 dem justices disagreed.

hmmm....
I'd say that it is very possible that you've lost one, maybe two if I get really imaginative. But numerous?

Without googling, I can't remember if it was Harvard or Yale that heavily discriminated against the Asians. One of the biggest traits they held against them was "personality".

I didn’t realize dodge ball teachers were in that high demand.

He’s a government employee, so his claim is possible. The irony is that he’s on here preaching rugged individual nonsense while being employed by the state.
Looks like being progressive in France means you are slaughtered in the street by muslims.

Who knew there might be some risks with unrestricted immigration. And even inviting them in. Im sure the protests are mostly peaceful, though.

Do you have a passport?
I haven't followed the France case very closely, but it seems like yet another case of criminals resisting arrest and then cops making a fatal mistake in judgement. So, apparently, it's not just racist US cops that make these mistakes...
What I did not that was different, however, is France has arrested well over 1000 protestors. In the US, that number would be low double digits.
Typical guns drawn in your face, hit the gas, trigger pulled.
Peak Democrat:
When at a meeting a tenant advocate confronts NYC mayor Eric Adams about rent control apartments going up in price and she pointed a finger at him the first thing he says is that she is playing plantation owner at him and that she needed to address him with respect because he's the mayor.
What's interesting is that she is an older woman who fled the Nazi's in her youth. He, on the other hand, is the mayor of the biggest city in the US. And when he's being held accountable in public, the first thing he does is try to make it a racial issue.
Peak Democrat.

There's been a lot of problems building up in Marseille for many years and it's currently the big story maker with the rioting. France needs to address what it has done to both immigrants and where they ghetto them.
Also Peak Democrat:
Dems are now starting to call for the investigation of SCOTUS, including subpoena's, because of the affirmative action ruling. They are also making the claim that Alito was taking bribes.
