“All of these girls are all wearing suits that are cut the same way,” Langford said. “And the only girl who gets disqualified is a mixed-race girl with rounder, curvier features.”

WTF washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/09…
her sisters have been singled out too
Stop making girls feel bad if they are curvier or if they are not. Stop sexualizing girls non-sexual behavior of girls, particularly that of black and brown girls. Stop putting girls in one-size-fits-all clothes and identities and then penalizing them if that's not so.
Girls do not come in one size, and yet we are constantly told we are "over-developed" or "under-developed."
Watch this video. See how hard these sisters are working to be great swimmers. To single them out as "having what's coming to them"

Hate-watching The Newsroom was actually a pretty fun time, in the Before
I am currently rewatching West Wing. (Long story) Even its worst moments are better than any moment in The Newsroom, which is slower, horrifically slow, chews WAY more scenery, and hello, only the control room would be that dark.

Corporate America demanding GOP do something about gun violence is promising—though should be backed by threat—and is thanks to work of @MomsDemand and other activist pressure. nytimes.com/2019/09/12/bus…
“Missing from the list, however, are some of America’s biggest financial and technology companies, including Apple, Facebook, Google, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, some of which debated internally whether to sign the letter.”

If you work at these companies, demand action.
This push, from @BetoORourke and @andrewrsorkin and others is why the banks are nervous to make statements, I'd gander.

As one who spent 9/12 participating in a mass effort to buy supplies for 1st responders and ferry them down to Ground Zero checkpoints this is bullshit

@realDonaldTrump can't produce anyone who can testify to his doing anything, except bragging he now had tallest building in NYC
@realDonaldTrump What Trump is doing should rightfully be called a version of stolen valor.
@realDonaldTrump It's not like it was possible to get through those checkpoints unless you were a first responder or some members of the press.

Even if Trump had, he'd have made damn sure everyone knew at the time.

Besides, he's clearly a coward. And squeamish. This was not the place for that

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/h…
@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

It’s true. That’s step one of realizing the truth.

Step two is knowing you have been paying for this service all your life. That’s why people call it an “entitlement;” because you’re entitled to it. You’ve already paid for it.
2/
Step three is understanding what “entitlement reform” means. People want to take this from you. They don’t want to pay you your money back.

If I stole your life savings, what would you call that!

So now let’s look at Medicare. It works the same way. Everyone pays into the system and everyone gets the same service when they become eligible.

When the government cuts Medicare spending, changes Medicare requirements or adds a means test they’re stealing from you.

There are a couple of things gnawing at me about my Fri nt thread on the NYT’s FBI counterintelligence investigation.

In my breathless stream o’ consciousness, I closed with a few tweets about Obama signing an Executive Order that “supercharged” the FBI’s investigation.

1/
The thread has gone a bit viral and has been blowing up my notifications.

Among the feedback, there was some strong criticism/outright rejection of the Obama EO parts by people who are expert in nat. security, the NSA, etc.

I take that criticism very seriously.

2/
The main thrust of the criticisms were:

1) The revised guidelines Obama signed had been in discussion for years

2) The executive order was not hastily written

3) It was not written or signed because of Trump or to specifically empower an investigation into him.

 Boys and girls have on average similar abilities in #maths

But girls in addition have a consistent advantage than boys in #reading and #writing.

The consequence?👇👇👇

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
