Today Mazie Hirono said the term "sexual preference" is offensive. @SteveKrak showed as of September 28 Merriam-Webster didn't say it was offensive, but today it does say that.
So I checked when the entry was last changed according to merriam webster and *THEY CHANGED IT TODAY* ImageImageImageImage
@thorsvensonn found the original change:
@SteveKrak with the signal boost:

Let's give credit ppl!

Hat tips and follows where they are due!
Also @Voice0fReazon had a hand in the find as well!

And, to make sure this is clear, merriam webster says they last updated the entry for preference october 13. I only had room for four screenshots in my tweet Image
I only had room for 4 screen shots, but just so it is clear, merriam-webster says they updated the entry for preference on October 13. My tweet is correct. Image
And, just so it's clear, it still says that the entry was last updated October 13. My tweet is correct.
I only had room for 4 screenshots so I left this one out, but I am including it here as further proof that my tweet is correct.

👍👍👍 Image

 This "government teacher" doesn't know when America was founded, won't teach students the official curriculum, and teaches kids about activism, anti-racism, and Black Lives Matter.

Woke teachers took over K-12 education and the get funded by grants like these,

A Thread🧵
2/
 The entire education system is full of activists, professors, and teachers who believe teaching is a political act, and Social Justice (AKA: woke ideology) should be the foundation of all learning and education.

Many of them are funded by the grants Murkowski wants to protect
3/
 Let's take for example the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Murkowski mentioned in her letter.

This grant funds a school Rann Miller teaches at. Miller wrote an article defending the use of Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project in education👇 Image

 The U.S. Government Accountability Office was designed to be a non-partisan watchdog that Audits government for waste, fraud, and abuse.

However, the GAO has been captured by progressives who are using it to advance to advance their political ideology.

And I have receipts.🧵 Image

 The job of the GAO is to hold government institutions accountable for the way they spend money and carry out their mission. That is, the GAO doesn't decide what policies get implemented, it makes sure the policies government passes get implemented, whatever those happen to be.
3/
 In other words, the GAO is supposed to ensure that government institutions are actually using the funding they get from congress to implement the policies congress has actually passed, rather just implementing the policies that the bureaucrats themselves prefer.

 In March this guy farmed 11 million views and 20K RT's by saying an "RFK blackmail story is breaking from multiple angles," while vaguely insinuating the CIA and Pfizer were involved and regurgitating widely available information.

And he hasn't tweeted about it since march... Image
2/
 His whole game is to take widely available information dug up by other people and use it as a pretext to suggest that various events are caused by powerful interests who "pull the strings," and then make vague and unfalsifiable insinuations regarding who the string pullers are
3/
 This is how he posture as a brave truth teller whose doing his own research when all he's really doing is regurgitating readily available information read through a cynical and conspiratorial lens, while engaging in wild speculation about "whose really pulling the strings."

I don't think the left realizes the degree to which giving puberty blockers and sex-changes to kids who wanted to change genders was a test of moral and intellectual integrity, and that test utterly destroyed the moral and intellectual credibility of everyone who failed it.
The people who went along with gender ideology didn't just end up on the wrong side of public opinion, they demonstrated for the whole world that they had no intellectual integrity, moral fortitude, and no ability to stand up for the truth or think for themselves.
The people who went along with gender ideology showed that they have no intellectual or moral anchors of any kind, and that they will pretend to believe anything and go along with any ideology in order to preserve their social standing and the esteem of their colleagues.

Woke leftists think people's conscious beliefs are determined by their cultural environment, so whoever controls the content of the culture controls the consciousness of the masses.

They want to control culture so they can control thought, which is basically the game they're in.
They think everyones views are socially/culturally determined; programmed into them by social forces of which they are unaware. Of course, the leftists never think their own views are just culturally determined, or that they have been programmed to be leftists.
They think they have transcended the cultural programming and are now able to influence the culture, to move culture forward because they are critically aware (or have critical consciousness) which lets them see the development of culture and the source code of social reality.

 This quote from Chase Strangio (ACLU's transgender lawyer) is a nice example of how the woke left fully adopted the views of the 60's counterculture.
They really believe things like "being trans" are a threat to "the system," and cultural rebellion will lead to revolution. Image
2/
 The woke left and the 1960's counterculture had the same underlying worldview that said the entire culture is a system of ideology that maintains power by brainwashing the masses and socially conditioning people to accept the legitimacy of "the system" and their place in it.
3/
 For this reason they think things like reforming institutions and changing laws are trivial and superficial solutions because they accept the legitimacy of the institutions and rules created by "the system"

For this reason, a much deeper solution is needed...
