🇺🇸 California Jewish State Senator Scott Wiener killed a bill to ban registered children sex offenders from running for public office.

Registered offenders can still continue to run for school boards and other official roles in California.

The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "six thousand years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not.

Ancient humans were collectivist. The likelihood that one individual invented anything is slim to none.

This is the myth of the genius.

Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.

Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.

Believing that the plow was invented by one genius is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.

This is called 'presentism' and it is both an uncritical and ignorant way to view history.

Social learning was the main driver of human evolution. Collectivism is how we both survived and progressed as a species.

The myth of the genius is an example of uncritical analysis and a flawed lens used to justify the grotesque hoarding of wealth and obscene inequality that is currently tearing at the social fabric our species.

It needs to be thrown on the trash heap of history.

The independent autopsy results are in. The cause of death for baby Kohen Wiley was a gunshot wound to the torso. The manner of death has been ruled a homicide. The bullet entered his body from the right side. Police claimed the driver was driving toward them. If that were true, why was the shot fired from the side? This family deserves the full truth. Release the body camera footage and the Walmart surveillance video now. Justice for baby Kohen.

White Family Mistaken for Black in 1955 Florida.

In the spring of 1955, Ebony magazine featured the Platt family, orange pickers from Lake County, Florida. Although the family identified as white, local officials claimed that six of their seven children had darker complexions and facial features they associated with Black people.

Because of that judgment, the children were removed from white schools. The family was also pressured to leave their white neighborhood and relocate to housing with far fewer basic amenities.

Their story showed just how arbitrary racial classifications could be under Jim Crow. A person's education, where they lived, and the opportunities available to them could depend less on documented ancestry than on how teachers, neighbors, or local officials perceived them.

The article also highlighted a reality that affected many Americans. Some families fought to avoid being classified as Black because segregation carried serious legal and economic consequences. At the same time, some light-skinned Black Americans passed as white to escape discrimination and gain opportunities they would otherwise have been denied.

An interesting detail is that the same issue of Ebony placed the Platt family's story beside an advertisement for Palmer's Skin Success, a product promoted for creating a more even complexion. Whether intentional or not, the contrast reflected the complicated relationship between race, skin color, identity, and opportunity in mid-century America.

Two years ago today, we lost D'Vontaye Mitchell. He was pinned face down for 8 to 9 minutes during what his family believes was a mental health crisis. The fight for accountability continues. His life mattered. His story will not be forgotten. Rest in power, D'Vontaye.

America was not built by billionaires.
It was built by workers, immigrants, slaves, rebels, organizers, tradesmen/women, nurses, teachers, farmers, and fighters.
Remember who actually keeps the lights on.
A billionaire doesn't know how to sustain a power grid, but workers sure do
