Indian origin Hindu guy who considers himself white and admires Nazi ideology crashes a truck into the white house to seize power.

Friends from SEA, do you have elite upper class people like these who consider themselves white and not Asian?

Btw... this is not the first instsnce of an upper caste Indian claiming "whiteness". There have been court cases by men requesting white status as early as pre first world war days.

If a corporation backs down to the haters it demonstrates that their alleged support of LGBTQIA+ was pinkwashing.

Time for a full boycott

"Target, which rolled out its Pride Collection at the start of May, is pulling some products from its stores after facing customer backlash, saying it was acting to protect employee safety, the company told Reuters on Tuesday."

A (one) person challenged Amanda Gorman's poem, the one she spoke at Biden's inauguration, because it "contains 'indirect hate messages' and causes confusion and indoctrination", so Miami-Dade County Public Schools District restricted access to it – not banned as such, but close.

Amanda tweeted: "So they ban my book from young readers, confuse me with [Oprah], fail to specify what parts of my poetry they object to, refuse to read any reviews, and offer no alternatives."

The specific paperwork demanding the total ban of the poem is attached. There were other books, too, and the parent demanding their banning shows a distinct lack of understanding of how to formulate a sentence.

"In March, five ... sued after enduring medical nightmares when they were refused abortions for pregnancies that had gone awry. Since then, the Center for Reproductive says it has heard from dozens of women in Texas with similar accounts. And this week, eight more women, each with her own harrowing story, joined the suit, which asks a state district court to clarify the scope of emergency medical exceptions to Texas’ ban."

Climate change is here, but your child likely isn't learning much about it at school

More than half of adults see climate change as a major threat to the country’s well-being, but most states don’t require children to learn about it in school.

New Jersey, Oregon, Connecticut and California feature climate topics or environmental education in their curriculum, but that isn’t the norm

After the victory, Ukraine will become a member of the European Union, — Scholz

The Chancellor of Germany is sure that Russia will not be able to win the war against Ukraine: "The bitter page in the history of our continent will end with the entry of free Ukraine into the European Union as a full member."

Republicans are a HATEFUL bunch of Assholes and Bigots!

Pride organizers in a number of Florida towns have canceled events slated for next month days after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed several anti-LGBTQ bills into law.

Why it matters: The laws — dubbed a "slate of hate" by activists — target aspects of daily life for LGBTQ+ community members and were signed just ahead of Pride Month.

Ein neues Gesetz in Florida überlässt es der Willkür von Ärztinnen, ob sie (beispielsweise queere) Patientinnen behandeln wollen oder nicht. Prinzipiell dürfen jetzt alle Patientinnen abgewiesen werden, deren Lebensweise den Medizinerinnen aus irgendeinem Grund nicht passt.

Die mindestens protofaschistische Politik der Republikanischen Partei kostet längst Menschenleben, und es werden immer mehr werden. Die demokratischen Grundwerte werden gezielt zerstört.

Wo bleibt eine angemessene Berichterstattung in Deutschland?
