JerryBaumchen 1,415 #1401 March 13 Hi folks, People should not ignore orders from the bench: Ezell, the OPM acting director, did not appear to testify in court or even sit for a deposition. Trump must rehire fired federal employees immediately, judge says - oregonlive.com I think we all knew this was coming; along with many other bench decisions. Let's see how 'King Donald' acts.

NW teacher refuses to remove these particular signs from classroom, as ordered - oregonlive.com Bullshit like this is why I refuse to be silent.

Jerry Baumchen In doing so, district administrators appear to have inadvertently drummed up division and controversy of their own. Lol at ‘inadvertently’. Anyway, this is all part of the far right shell game. You can’t ask kids not to be racist because that’s pushing an ideology. When the kids grow up and go to college the university can’t make any effort to better think about how to admit a fair proportion of qualified black kids because that’s race based. They can give preferential admission to an unlimited number of alumni kids - who surprise surprise are almost all white - because that’s just fine and is perfectly acceptable in the ‘meritocracy’. Then when those college graduates apply for jobs you can’t give any consideration to whether there are likely to be equally talented minorities graduating from less prestigious colleges, and you can’t do anything to try and stop the racists who were never taught not to be racist from bringing their prejudices into the interview room - because if you did that would literally be worse than burning black people to death. Its all the circle of white supremacist life. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,415 #1406 March 14 Hi folks, IMO we need to do more of this: "People are livid with the takeover by Trump and are not going to be quiet about it." Vice President JD Vance booed at The Kennedy Center : NPR And the BS about diversity is just that, bullshit. Diversity in Trump 2.0; now, that is a true dichotomy.

I was hopeful of some diverse insight, some conspiracy,and the works of authors like Jonathan Haidt,all of which would have added to that awsome diversity score. I hope the likes of Base don't decide "life is short" and just do a Solzhenitsyn on this sight.

Oh and one of his rules are always use "Quotes." The triad; "It is not on the impassioned partisan, it is on the calmer and more disinterested bystander, that this collision of opinions works its salutary effect. Not the violent conflict between parts of the truth, but the quiet suppression of half of it, is the formidable evil; there is always hope when people are forced to listen to both sides; it is when they attend to only one that errors harden into prejudices, and truth itself ceases to have the effect of truth, by being exaggerated into falsehood."

Jerry Baumchen The Nazi's first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me. Rev. Martin Niemoeller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
