#affirmative — Public Fediverse posts

@HamonWry
I would like to know where all the money went? Did it to for any #DEI initiatives? Did it to any pork barrel schemes of #Democrats? Did it go for any #Affirmative actions?

I am writing an open #letter to all #political sides as an #introduction to #hope I wish to turn #hurt away from and closer into as such through #affirmative #action accordingly if at all possible.

Let me start out by saying, that I #believe in the #power of real human prayer as #unbound #energy finding its way through us. And in turn, I'm no #religious #person by and large, but I am going to send this #prayer out there anyways because I feel it needs to be #said as is.

This will be a prayer covering several #topics of conversation that I #feel are important and significant enough to relay as one broadcast.

#extremism

To all #people I #pray that:
You realize living on your own #political #island sounds great in theory, be it on the #left or the #right of the spectrum. Or even at the #top or #bottom of it as well. But being unable to find or care for the #center of it, leaves you #vulnerable to #attack more so than anything else. And that is not a state of things I #desire for you to have to #live by.

#awareness

I pray that:
As #individuals you #collectively and #personally #understand that there are differences between the #perception of how you come across to others, and how others #perceive you in turn. It is okay to have a #difference of opinion, but to be #blind sighted by this, leaves you open to being #weaponized and I do not #wish that for you to have to #experience at all.

#sovereignty
I pray that:
You can #recognize how someone wants to be able to experience #respect without having to diverge or divulge your #interest in a #potential #conflict as such. In order for us to be able to #trust each other, we have to #remember how to #treat one another as #equals rather than constantly #competing for #dominance based on denying that there #exists a spectrum of #agreeability at play that we are all apart of.

#CommonSense
I pray that:
We keep building upon #frameworks that do not need to become a totally separate #foundation that exists just to serve you. But rather, exist as #modular #blocks that can join and detach from one another as already built #structures full and complete. This way, we are not trying to conflict over what block we have to share space with someone else in prioritizing. Because the entire thing is ours to shape in our own way. And so as a #metaphor, I feel it is #important to attach to the idea of having a sense in common, as opposed to a common sense where applicable, of things that cause us to #fight over how #relevant it is to most of us around the #actual or #planned #change currently in motion.

#battles
I pray that:
We are able to tell when to be #still and when to #move upon any #focus that #captivates us in part. Whether it exists as apart of a #whole or not. Doing so will help us make the best #impact #possible for the change we want to make a #reality for the #cause we are #concerned for.

And ultimately, I pray that we can move past the blatant need to have an #existential #crisis be on full display at the #crossroads of #agendas being carried out as they are each in turn, #instigated by #georegional #tribalism that serves nobody accept to put #humanity as a whole last, not first, as I intend to do.

All of these things are #real and can be #fixable and #doable as such. And I want to make sure, that this reality does not have a chance to get far out of #control the way it currently has.

For it is #outcomes like this, that #incomes should never have appropriately #manifested into #place that I want to #avoid and keep #preventable from ever #happening again.

To me, I find it very #unfortunate that we are living through #times of such blatant #hardship that should not have to be so unnecessary in today's day and age. For in this latest #protest #style #news #video we see this very inteersection of mounting, preventable #activities #culminating all at once in a display of #violent #behaviour best #repurposed for other #interests in my #opinion acordingly.

In #America #israel and #Canada or anywhere else in our #world we should not have to worry about #migration #problems at home #effecting the #symptom of #indifference at the #core of #ineffective #deference as such. Rather, if we simply #agree to #adapt our time towards #focusing on the #things we can #bear #witness to as our own #personal #legacy then I say we have done enough for our #community be it or we tied to a particular #faith or not.

I say this, in my own #human name for all it is worth. Because that is who I am now, and if any #guardian #angel believes this to be #true then all I ask, is that you add yours to this prayer and pass it forward.

Thank you for your #attention to this #matter as such. I #appreciate it and you very much for the #blessing that you are.

17 Zitate von Charles James „Charlie" Kirk

17 Zitate, die man von dem rechten Aktivisten und Trump-Verbündeten, der am Mittwoch in #Utah erschossen wurde, kennen sollte.

#Schwarze

• „In den Städten Amerikas kommt es ständig vor, dass herumstreunende Schwarze zum Spaß weiße Menschen ins Visier nehmen, das ist eine Tatsache. Das passiert immer öfter.“ (Quelle)

• „ Wenn ich einen schwarzen #Piloten sehe, denke ich mir: ‚Mann, ich hoffe, er ist qualifiziert.‘“ (Quelle)

• „Sie kommen heraus und sagen: ‚Ich bin nur wegen der #Affirmative #Action hier.‘ Ja, das wissen wir. Ihr habt nicht die geistige Kapazität, um wirklich ernst genommen zu werden. Ihr musstet einem #Weißen den Platz wegnehmen, um einigermaßen ernst genommen zu werden. “ (Quelle)

• „Wir haben einen großen Fehler gemacht, als wir Mitte der 1960er Jahre das #Bürgerrechtsgesetz verabschiedet haben.“ (Quelle)

• „[Die #Todesstrafe] sollte öffentlich sein, sollte schnell vollstreckt werden, sollte im Fernsehen übertragen werden ... Ich denke, ab einem bestimmten Alter ist es eine Initiation ... Ab welchem Alter sollte man öffentliche #Hinrichtungen sehen dürfen?“ (Quelle)

• „Die Demokratische Partei unterstützt alles, was #Gott hasst.“ (Quelle)

• „Ich kann das Wort #Empathie eigentlich nicht ausstehen. Ich denke, Empathie ist ein erfundener New-Age-Begriff, der viel Schaden anrichtet.“ (Quelle)

• „Lehne den #Feminismus ab. Unterwirf dich deinem Ehemann, #Taylor (Swift). Du hast nicht das Sagen.“ (Quelle)

• „Vielleicht solltest du mal deine Bibel aufschlagen. In einem weniger bekannten Teil derselben Schriftstelle, in Levitikus 18, steht: ‚Wer mit einem anderen Mann schläft, soll mit Steinen zu Tode gesteinigt werden.‘ Ich sag's nur! Also, Miss Rachel, du zitierst Levitikus 19... Das Kapitel davor bekräftigt Gottes perfektes Gesetz in Bezug auf sexuelle Angelegenheiten.“ (Quelle)

• „Dieser Typ war ein Dreckskerl.“ (Quelle)

• „Es ist keine Theorie des großen Austauschs, es ist eine Realität des großen Austauschs. Allein in diesem Jahr werden 3,6 Millionen Ausländer in Amerika einreisen. Bis zum Ende der Amtszeit von Joe #Biden werden es 10 bis 15 Millionen sein. Jeder von ihnen wird wahrscheinlich durchschnittlich 3 bis 5 Kinder haben, während gebürtige #Amerikaner 1,5 Kinder pro Paar haben. Ihr werdet absichtlich ersetzt.“ (Quelle)

• „Es lohnt sich, leider jedes Jahr einige #Todesfälle durch #Schusswaffen in Kauf zu nehmen, damit wir die zweite #Verfassungsänderung haben können.“ (Quelle)

• „Jüdische Spender sind die wichtigste #Finanzierungsquelle für radikale, neoliberale, quasi-marxistische Politik, kulturelle Einrichtungen und gemeinnützige Organisationen, die sich für offene Grenzen einsetzen. Das ist ein Ungeheuer, das von säkularen Juden geschaffen wurde, und jetzt kommt es auf die Juden zu, und sie fragen sich: ‚Was um alles in der Welt ist passiert?‘ Und es sind nicht nur die Hochschulen. Es sind die gemeinnützigen Organisationen, es sind die Filme, es ist #Hollywood, es ist alles.“ (Quelle)

• „#MLK war schrecklich. Er ist kein guter Mensch. Er hat eine gute Sache gesagt, an die er eigentlich gar nicht geglaubt hat.“ (Quelle)

• „Sie verbergen ihre Absichten nicht einmal. #Muslime planen, #Europa durch demografischen #Austausch zu erobern. Wird Europa rechtzeitig aufwachen?“ (Quelle)

• „Ich glaube nicht, dass dieser Ort existiert.“ (Quelle)

• „Ihr seid eine Abscheulichkeit vor Gott.“ (Quelle)

Cyclones on the #rise ✊ 🌪️ 💩
As a son of a radio and television technician, I understand the concept of a TV. :D

Some folks might have wrongly interpreted the concept of a monitor(display) or TV to monitor the customer, which is utter Bollocks & BS.

After her death, strange signs appeared.

The real estate billionaire Robin Arkley
— the man who had provided the money to lobby for Roberts and Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court
— invited the Leos to spend some time at his ranch in California.

On the way there, they spent a night in a hotel in San Francisco.

After checking in, they went up to their room and Margaret’s younger sister Elizabeth rushed over to a bowl of complimentary candy and dug her hand into it.

In it, she discovered a Sacred Heart medal.

On the last day at the ranch, Leo’s wife Sally came across another medal.

A few weeks later, someone visiting Leo at work told him they found another medal in their airplane seat.

The Leos told friends that they were convinced these medals were signs from heaven that Margaret was both safe and still with them.

The experience would deepen his faith, marking him out as a crusader
— and a target for Opus Dei.

As chaplain of the "Catholic Information Center",
the Opus Dei chapel and bookshop on K Street,
just a stone’s throw from the White House, #Father #Arne #Panula introduced a number of new initiatives in the early 2010s
to generate a steadier stream of donations
— and to better integrate the movement with wealthy Catholics.

Blue-eyed and silver-haired, Father Arne was a big figure within Opus Dei.

For a period in the nineties, he was the organization’s most senior man in the United States.

A native of Minnesota, he had grown up in a small town on the shores of Lake Superior and had joined the Work while at Harvard.

He moved to Rome after graduating, where he lived alongside the Opus Dei founder #Josemaría #Escrivá and trained to become a priest.

After ordination, he moved back to the States to take on the role of chaplain at "The Heights",
an Opus Dei school in Washington, which was still in its infancy.

During his forty years in the movement, he had also spent some time in California, and had become a close friend of #Peter #Thiel, the billionaire entrepreneur who helped found PayPal and who had been an early investor in Facebook.

On long hikes in the Marin headlands, just north of San Francisco, the two men bonded over their shared disdain for government
— and the dangers of liberal attempts to correct the ills of society through policies like #affirmative #action.

His first big initiative at the "Catholic Information Center" copied a popular strategy that had proved lucrative in almost every industry:
the awards dinner.

By bestowing an award on Washington’s most respected conservative Catholics,
and then hosting a lavish dinner in their honor
— to which all the city’s wealthy Catholics were invited
— he generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single evening
and established the CIC at the heart of this influential community.

And so the ⭐️John Paul II Award⭐️ was born in 2012.

The inaugural award went to Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the Archbishop of Washington,
who was popular with conservative members of his flock and who had recently stoked controversy by becoming one of the most senior members of the Church to sign the #Manhattan #Declaration.

This was an ecumenical statement drafted by Robert George, and co-signed by the Opus Dei operative Luis Tellez, Maggie Gallagher, and other members of the Catholic right,
which called on Christians not to comply with laws permitting abortion, same-sex marriage, and other practices that went against their beliefs.

The following year the award went to George Weigel, a biographer of Pope John Paul II and a big figure within the American Catholic right.

The Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, an influential and wealthy Catholic brotherhood;
the founder of the Becket Fund, a lobby group championing religious rights;
and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia would all become recipients over the next few years.

An array of high-rolling lawyers with cases before the Supreme Court paid money to one of Justice Clarence Thomas’s top aides through Venmo.

The Guardian reports that these lawyers have done everything from successfully arguing #against #affirmative #action, to leading the charge to #limit the #Environmental #Protection #Agency’s ability to, well, protect the environment.

These top lawyers appeared to be paying for exclusive access to a Christmas party hosted by the justice, according to the payment descriptions on Venmo.

One of the lawyers paying the Thomas aide was #Patrick }'#Strawbridge, a partner at Consovoy McCarthy, who successfully helped #overturn #affirmative #action.

Another was #Kate #Todd, former White House deputy counsel under twice-impeached, twice-indicted, and liable for sexual abuse former President Donald Trump.

Yet another party-going lawyer was #Elbert #Lin, West Virginia’s former solicitor general, who was very influential in a Supreme Court case that #limited the #EPA’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. And that’s just a taste of who attended

The far right turns to ‘legal vigilantism’

After the supreme court’s recent rulings against #affirmative #action and #anti-#discrimination #precedent, researchers who track the far-right movement are flagging a new model of #conservative #activism: #legal #vigilantism, an aggressive, lawsuit-threatening tactic used to intimidate universities and private institutions to comply with the new rulings.

His latest victory at the Supreme Court is the culmination of a long fight to take #race out of college admissions.

The feeling of commiting Justice in this circumstance would be world shaking.

AlterNet—#Twitter owner #ElonMusk launched a #poll on Sunday afternoon asking users to #vote on whether he should stay on as the social media giant's #leader.

"I will #abide by the results of this poll," Musk pledged.

The survey ultimately received more than 17.5 million responses. A clear majority – 57.5 percent – answered in the #affirmative, meaning that Musk now has to decide if he will keep his word.
