The POLITICRAT ON Point: Affirmative action in the USA has always benefited white people far more than anyone else. Look at the Homestead Act of 1862 and beyond (G.I. Bill, Harvard, Yale entry, etc.) Watch this: https://bit.ly/3PGqqHC #ThePoliticrat #podcast #ONPoint #Mastodon #BlackMastodon #politics #affirmativeaction #USA #BlackFriday

Ok so I'm not exactly being very nice or communicative, but this is what I'm dealing with with #OnPoint
19 days since I first messaged them, someone can't figure out that my personal stuff is not my business stuff until today.
I don't remember when they took the site down, but I'm guessing it's been a month since I've had access to this card
🎁 #FreeRead | JeneenInterlandi @ #NYTimes spent a year following #OnPoint (#NYC), a two year-old #outreach program aimed to help #drugusers. Some of the #nonprofit's methods are "#controversial" but are working.
This deep-dive #editorial takes an eyes-wide-open look at failed #antidrug #policies, the #toughlove #Rx many/most Americans want administered to substance abusers, and OnPoint's "radical" (practical) solutions to saving lives and #taxpayer #dollars in #NY.
_______________
After #reading this piece a couple times, I wondered: "Do "Americans" (people who #vote and #politicians) truly *want to solve the addiction, un/de-housed and incarceration epidemics in the US?" Nope. I don't think so.

Neighbours in #E17 always do a brilliant Chrstmas display - mostly handmade. This is just part of it.
RT @raine_jh: The owners of a house round the corner from us always create the most amazing seasonal displays at Easter, Halloween & Christmas. This is just a glimpse of this year’s theme #onpoint #elfingbrilliant #christmas

Heard a great episode of #OnPoint on #NPR yesterday, discussing the way #SocialMedia has devolved over the past 10 years. 😔
It gave me an appreciation for the lack of a "Quote-Boost" here on Mastodon :mastodon: Being able to dunk on someone's Twitter post so trivially really has soured the tone of conversation over on the #birdsite. :birdsite:
Anyways, that podcast episode is on the #KPCC website for a week or two, if interested. 🤓

In praise of the #algorithm.
It just served me up this classic.

The economic consequences of the pandemic have been disproportionately adverse for women and female employment. They are calling this a she-cession.

@nodefunallowed@mas.to "By repeating the lie that programming is essentially hard, people can be convinced that they need rigid forms of organisation to get things done" - #onpoint
"Whereas the barrier to association in the Fediverse is technical – one can only be associated with one server at a time" and completely fixable!
I'm not in a position to comment on whatever "telekommunism" is. Sounds loopy.
