THIS is what folks are mad about?! I’m a Castro fan (this is not an endorsement) but the media has to relax. There’s no way this is “disqualifying.” Y’all just aren’t ready for anyone challenging the person you’ve already christened as the nominee.
Here's how I know that the Castro "two minutes ago" thing is manufactured outrage. If Castro had said THE SAME THING to Bernie, the media wouldn't have called it "disqualifying." The only people who would've been upset are Bernie supporters. And Bernie is older than Biden.
Similarly, if Biden (or any other candidate) had used Castro's "two minutes ago" line on Trump, every Democrat in America would be calling it a strong line.

If you want someone tough to go after Trump, they have to prove their mettle against their fellow nominees. Grow up.

Already in America, millions of women are struggling to access affordable birth control.

Thanks to the Trump administration and Republican officials in states across the country, women face new barriers to basic reproductive health care.
#CVSDeniesCare 1/
Women are being deprived of the fundamental right to make the decisions that are best for their bodies, their futures, & their families.

Now, @cvspharmacy has decided to deprive tens of thousands of women of the right to make personal health care decisions.
#CVSDeniesCare 2/
Thanks to @cvspharmacy, women who use services like Pill Club, Nurx, and other providers could lose access to birth control altogether.

It’s no coincidence that CVS supports the same GOP politicians who are cracking down on women’s reproductive health care. #CVSDeniesCare 3/

Diddy is allegedly dating Lori Harvey, who is half his age, and the ex-girlfriend of his own son.

Lori is the daughter of Marjorie Harvey, wife of Steve Harvey. Steve was allegedly having an affair with Marjorie while still married to his 2nd wife.

Do I have that right?
Eaux.

Welp.

Anyone curious what happened after Trump blamed Iran for trying to blow up the Front Altair and Kokuka Courageous on June 13 2019..and everyone called bullshit? Yep. Nothing. Yet the media inserts the Iran attack meme into every story about shipping risk marinetraffic.com/en/maritime-ne…
Has anyone seen an investigation, insurance or legal claim against anyone for damaging two very expensive ships? No hard proof of guilt? One ship left a KSA harbor, the other left a UAE harbor before explosions occurred. Please don't ask too many questions. The B Team is silent.
Does it seem odd that the USG and the Navy had same day proof: A video of Iranians removing a mine from one of the ships late in the PM after the early AM incident. This single event should be investigated by Congress because it was a US govt fraud.

Earthquakes are good. That means the tectonic pressure is being released along the fault lines. Gaspar de Portola recorded the first one in 1769 while he was exploring in the desert southeast of Los Angeles. There are between 12,000 - 14,000 a year. #Relax.cnn.com/2019/07/06/us/…
There are over half a million earthquakes around the world and we forget that population growth in vulnerable areas is the main reason why these natural events become disasters. We keep building on fault lines and shores.
By contrast war and famine are preventable disasters yet we can't seem to figure that out. So we worry about the "big one" while our President threatens the "big one" with Iran and other nations. Just google "Trump Threatens". #Gofigure

Folks got mad at me when I tried to tell em about Beto. Read this. Sit with it. He spends so many words describing the problems in-depth. Saying he's gonna "work to fix them". But that HE doesn't think giving anything directly to black people is the way WE should fix it.
"Instead of giving you direct compensation, which is within our power, instead we're going to try to completely overhaul almost all of the deeply entrenched institutions in government. That's way better for you. Trust me."
I know a lot of y'all are still struggling with passing judgment on candidates just because they're white men. But that's not what's happening here. It's possible for a white man to do the right thing here. It's also possible to *know* that they won't. You just have to listen.

Media that covers #Media #Publishing #Journalism #tech #SocialNetworks is often critical of traffic-driving algorithms, distribution of ad revenue, personal data collection/sale. Yet these writers have the ability to get users to force change. /1 notd.io/notes/56844813…
Most of the abuses that this sector of media is critical about come from internet giants, who pay lip service in response, because those abuses are very profitable, & regulation is unlikely in the US & users not motivated enough to change their usage of networks. /2
US regulation that would help stop the criticized practices is unlikely to help, mainly because Congress isn't qualified to design these regulations, so they would leave it to lobbyists working for the industry to be regulated /3
