The CA Legislature tried to strike these words from the state constitution in 2020 (put there by Prop 209 in 1996). The voters smacked them down when 57.23% said NO—despite the YES campaign outspending the NO team by more than 14 to 1. Now they’re trying again—calling it a “clarification” instead of an effort to gut the provision’s application to public education. Don’t believe them. If approved by the voters, this would be a major change. The aim is to pave the way for the recommendations of California’s Task Force on Reparations. The Task Force wants to make college free to African Americans no matter how well off their parents are and to get school districts to fund individual schools based on the race of the students who attend. @christopherrufo

A friend who skydived died after a too-low hook turn in '98. I see the maniacs doing spiral dives and turf surfing with XRW rigs and wonder if I can take out a 3rd-party life insurance policy as an investment. Sorta like a viatical with poor impulse control.

Genius!

They could all drop the mandates today and this would all be over. The reason they won’t is because this isn’t about the mandates anymore. It’s about power.

I find Instagram's censorship of the truth offensive.

A better phrase is "In Senecto veritas".

How many of those family members are actual living registered voters? My grandmother was a lifelong Republican, but now she votes Democrat.
