Gutzon Borglum was the sculptor and was involved with the KKK. He was chosen because he was the sculptor of the "Shrine to the Confederacy” which was the inspiration for Mount Rushmore.

Guess it shouldn’t be too surprising given the way the land was taken from the local tribes despite it being sacred.

Credit to this comment by u/alcoholicorn that drove me to look it up.

I switched to reusable shopping bags along with the rest of Colorado when they enacted a ban this year and honestly prefer them now. Once you get in the habit of bringing them to stores it’s easy.

Edit: The US presidential election is not based on popular vote so if you live outside of the ~5-6 swing states that decide the election you can go ahead and vote for a candidate that fits your beliefs even if it’s 3rd party (shoutout PSL), there’s no argument not to. Continuing to vote for the lesser evil when it’s not needed just means they can take your vote for granted.

Make sure to pay attention to local/state elections too, those who often affect your life even more. As always voting is only a small part in how we affect change, find local organizations and agitate for change that way.

I wont disagree that there should be a ranking for using loaded language but combining it with the factuality ranking twists what the ranking means since to the average person they’re going to read that as how accurate the facts are.

It should be its own separate rating from factuality. Again if we’re going to have to have a bot like this put clear disclaimers and ideally find a better one than this.

Since other commenters aren’t bothering to look into it at all:

Cuba says it has disrupted a scheme in Russia to recruit Cuban citizens to fight in Ukraine.

In a statement, Cuba's Foreign Ministry called the alleged plan a human trafficking ring. It said Cubans, both in Russia and on the island, had been recruited to fight in Russia's war against Ukraine.

Cuba is actively trying to prevent this.

Can’t remember the specifics but the Mali government was allowing free (or super cheap) use for awhile so that was the reason.

In 2016 Democrats ran a widely disliked neoliberal through a heavily biased primary and wonder why they lose.

Yeah maybe it’s changed recently with the growth in popularity but as someone who’s gone to raves and festivals for well over a decade it’s always been one of the most welcoming cultures.

I know the more major festivals have gotten less so over the years but it’s more just generic assholes not Nazis.

Maybe not actively but there’s a lot of past presidents that should be charged if the world was fair. Most obvious example is Bush.

Really depends on the country you’d be going to.

If it has these same financial companies in them or any credit bureaus that factor in debt from here then you could run into issues.

If not then from what I remember reading this would actually work if you’re not planning on coming back since typically unpaid debt isn’t a crime and definitely not one a country would extradite over.

Wtf is the point of passing this bs watered down version? It’s basically a strongly worded letter if it’s not demanding an immediate ceasefire. It also has more bs like Israeli prisoners going free but no mention of any palestinians going free? It’s completely one sided.

The meme is that westerners care more that that the people that are seeing their kids murdered condemn the only (while very imperfect) group that is helping them instead of focusing on the fact that kids are being murdered.

I mean clearly there’s systemic issues driving people to seek this stuff, just removing fenty without addressing those means they’ll just seek out other things. Realistically we should be legalizing the safer stuff (psychedelics, MDMA, etc) that isn’t as damaging or addicting and raising living standards to combat the harder stuff but in our current state where weed isn’t even legal federally and it’s all treated the same more or less addicts and ODs on hard drugs are going to be the outcome.

Absolutely disgusting that the embargo continues.
