I wonder if it has anything to do with Ravelry bringing down the mighty banfist on their Trump posting? There was a bit of a controversy a few months ago when a MAGA hat pattern got delisted, and the site admins had obviously had their fill of Pro Trump/white supremacy posting and blanket banned it in the interest of maintaining an inclusive knitting space safe from fascist bullshit.

It does seem like there's a bit of a groundswell very recently of "supporting Trump is tantamount to supporting white supremacy" being endorsed by organizations/websites/companies, which is one of the forms of authority that people at large do look up to.

You aren't wrong except in numbers. It does disproportionately affect black women but proportion of college graduates matter.

This is absolutely an issue, and one that absolutely must be dealt with, and if it was more targeted I would have no issue. If this was aimed at underserved under-represented communities I would find no problem. But the fact that it's a broad stroke applies to everyone solution rankles me with all of the problems that we face as a country.

My wife and I carry college debt and it's not something that is trivial, however I disagree strongly that this is the best way to go about solving the issue. Let's solve the problem going forward before we worry about ourselves.

I think it's kind of poo poo they didn't just outright nuke the place. The quarantine warning basically acknowledges they broke the rules (that other subs have presumably been banned for.)

Like "help the mods maintain the community by reporting violating posts." - I'm under the impression mods are typically per sub, and admins can oversee any subreddit? Lol yeah what good are reports to t_d mods gonna do.

I heard it had more to do with some posts advocating violence against the police for trying to round up the Oregon GOP runaways.

Pretty cool to see how thoroughly and absolutely the Republican party has become a captured cult of personality. Cheeto Benito says someone is bad, they're bad. Cast them out and cull them from the herd. Who they are, what they say, what they've done...meaningless. The Great High Anger Mango has spoken, do not question his proclamation.

Doubly so that it's all rotten mush-brained flailing of dying neurons.

Private schools are excuses for white conservatives to have a place for alternative education and pump out Fox News crazies to establish their power and are racist amongst other things.

gently caress private schools.

Also I went to a private primary education school set up by American and British embassies in Saudi with kids of diplomats and military and it was really baller and awesome.

Being that the red MAGA or USA cap has quickly become this century’s swastika armband, it’s not a surprise that loads of companies are trying to distance themselves from Trump and his supporters.

Wayfair has hopefully screwed themselves out of a customer base for a really long time.

Trump is saying "I'm glad he's dead because he was in my way". And he expected that to be an applause line.

That's Mitch McConnell's org posting the gif and Adam Scott posting a text-only request that they not do that. Twitter threading is somehow still terrible even when there are only 2 tweets involved.
