"In other words, the people who are the most 'polarized' in the U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who oppose racists and sexists."

Screenshot of article which reads: These numbers are relatively similar between Democrats and Repub-
licans, which often leads political pundits to claim this is more evidence
of “polarization,” and that both sides are equally to blame. However,
a closer look tells a more interesting story. The people who are most
likely to vilify and dehumanize their partisan opponents are Republicans
who are high in racism and sexism and Democrats who oppose racism
and sexism. The people who are least likely to vilify and dehumanize
their political opponents are Republicans who are low in racism and sex-
ism. One explanation for these patterns is that those Republicans who
are racist and sexist vilify and dehumanize Democrats because they see
the Democratic Party as a party of racial minorities and women; and
Democrats who score low in racism and sexism will vilify and dehu-
manize Republicans because they consider Republicans to be racist and
sexist. In other words, the people who are the most “polarized” in the
U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who op-
pose racists and sexists.

begging documentarians to include non-white experts in some of their films. their omission too often leaves questions unanswered/PoVs underdiscussed. something will always be missing from the story that claims to be important for all audiences when white voices/experiences are the default.

There’s a chapter in the book I’m writing called digital life about how 6 weird dudes can’t steal the internet or our freedom unless we give it up. This is a nice little example of how people refuse to do so.

My 6 year old spends his weekends walking, scootering, & generally being wild all over LA. I don’t worry about his safety because of neighbors who are forced to sleep on the street. I do worry about the cracked sidewalks that trip him. My city spends too much on the LAPD to fix them.

You can read the pro-segregation goals in a lot of their founding documents. Fraternities are one of the classic examples used in sociological theories cynical about institutional change. The older a fraternity, the more likely they are to still have documents that explicitly ban Black members.

UPDATE: Florida killed Curtis Beasley this evening. Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty noted this is the DeSantis administration's "44th execution." Beasley is "the 13th veteran, the 14th senior citizen, and the 27th person ... to die despite a non-unanimous jury vote for death."

This interview with @timnitgebru.blacksky.app does a good job puncturing some of this BS. I think the private sector often profits off of just this sort of move: hiding ‘expertise’ behind proprietary doors and then making public claims that can’t be scrutinized is par for the course in business.
