\nQuote – Ngo also disingenuously proffered as evidence a post by Brooks he described as \u201cabout how to get away with running people over on the street\u201d\u2014even though the post in question was actually written by an ex-Minneapolis police officer who encouraged drivers to run down BLM protesters, and Brooks had posted it as evidence of violent police attitudes. Of course, there is still zero evidence that Brooks ever participated in any BLM march or engaged in any protest organizing.
\nClick through for details<\/a>. I am honestly more sick of fake journalists than I am of fake news itself. And don’t think there aren’t any on the left. We have to be responsible for moderating our confirmation bias … because RWNJs certainly will not moderate theirs.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – But catalytic converters have been round for nearly 50 years. So why is this happening now? The economic downturn caused by the pandemic might be one factor. Another is the soaring price of the precious metals that put the catalyst in catalytic.
\nClick through.<\/a> Yes, this is what you might call a “graphic article.” But try to find a non-graphic one which lays out this information so clearly.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – Kara Dixon Vuic, who studies gender and the U.S. military at Texas Christian University, said the passage of this amendment would be \u201chuge, though largely symbolic\u201d when it comes to the fight for women\u2019s rights and gender equity in the military. \u201cRight now, the only legal difference between what men and women do as civilians is men sign up for selective service,\u201d said Vuic, who is currently writing a book on the history of military draft eligibility in the country. \u201cIt\u2019s not that women don\u2019t have to; it\u2019s that they can\u2019t.\u201d
\nClick through for the scoop.<\/a> I have always felt that if one really wants to be treated equally, then one must accept being treated equally. As obvious as that soounds, it seems to be a difficult concept when it comes to feminism. Perhaps that at least partially explains why misogyny is more powerful than racism (as the 2016 election proved.)<\/p>\n
