BiasED, people, the word is biasED. CNN has a bias, CNN is biased. He's/she's/they're biased. Their bias is obvious. I have a bias against misusing bias for biased when biased is more correct. They're either biased or have a bias (or biases).
NOBODY ever 'is bias.'
Stop it.

@NamiraGray @dnelsonmn @wil_da_beast630 An excellent book to read is Arguing About Slavery by William Miller. Very engaging and well sourced. Also helps to keep in mind that arguments about giving the south time to end slavery w/minimal social/economic disruption ignore the ongoing disruptions to lives of enslaved.

[DHM @DHMrs]

@dnelsonmn @NamiraGray @wil_da_beast630 And they had replaced importing slaves with robust industry of slave breeding. The south has violently rejected every effort to end slavery more 'carefully,' and were quite willing to impose their views on others via the fugitive slave act, reading private mail & owning humans.

@blz314 @godofbiscuits @Boxboyfan30 @preachyourtruth @Politics_Matter @DanielleEchev @sfchronicle You just declared every parent who objects to the unethical behaviour of these 2 teachers guilty of being a danger to their kids and hostile to the possibility of their kids being gay based on a movie & your imagination.

@jed81063586 @troller_lib @MrAndyNgo @IncogNeato111 How are the police 'entrapping' them? By posing as children. If these people weren't willing to sexualize real children, they would have no need to protect themselves from cops posing as kids. Healthy, safe people wouldn't hold sexual conversations with kids online.

I wonder if formally educated people tend to be more obedient?

[DHM @DHMrs]

@washingtonpost Yes. He was the selfish villain who betrayed somebody he had promised to love forever at the most vulnerable time in her life and he is still justifying it. He is still that villain.

@PublicShawnelle My dad. When he died we shipped his body off to science and had no service or acknowledgement of any kind. My youngest brother and I felt safe for the first time in our lives. I was 50 and he was in his 40s.

@godofbiscuits @blz314 @Boxboyfan30 @preachyourtruth @Politics_Matter @DanielleEchev @sfchronicle And they can discuss that with trained professionals rather than 2 teachers with wretched judgment acting on their own with no oversight, accountability, or special insight into family therapy.

[DHM @DHMrs]

@blz314 @godofbiscuits @Boxboyfan30 @preachyourtruth @Politics_Matter @DanielleEchev @sfchronicle That was a movie about adults. Your imagination is not data, and imposing it on a bunch of strangers is just baseless gossip. The facts are the teachers don't have any accountability or oversight for their secret project & they chose to avoid working with family therapists.

[DHM @DHMrs]

@godofbiscuits @blz314 @Boxboyfan30 @preachyourtruth @Politics_Matter @DanielleEchev @sfchronicle If the teachers really cared about the kids they'd recommend family therapy with specialists who could watch for signs of abuse &help parents & kids communicate and nurture their bond. No outings need occur.

@godofbiscuits @blz314 @Boxboyfan30 @preachyourtruth @Politics_Matter @DanielleEchev @sfchronicle Why would the reporter lie about it being conservative town, though? And how does she know the parents concerns are not about 2 rogue teachers w/o oversight stalking kids and running a secret club?

@melanatedreader 18 of 125 books I read this year were by black women, 15 by black men. I read more YA & historical stuff which is why one of my favourites this year was The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands. Also enjoyed Kekla Magoon, Rita Williams Garcia, & Mildred Taylor.

[DHM @DHMrs]

@thejamesmax @millihill Ironic that you mocked her about not being an expert & then in your show with Debbie you quote 2 actors most famous for being able recite the words J.K. Rowling gave them as though they have more expertise than the woman who created the whole universe in which they roleplay.

[DHM @DHMrs]

@thejamesmax @millihill I had no idea who you or KJ were. I watched & saw you repeatedly cut her off, talk over her, mock her, use strawmen, and put words in her mouth. She was polite in the face of your open hostility. You were rude &dismissive, yet totally different w/the man in a dress.

[DHM @DHMrs]

@Herstorynothis1 And he was noticably more deferential with the man in a dress.

[DHM @DHMrs]

He talks over her, cuts her off, deliberately misreprepresents her, and she never loses her cool.
