Mathematics is often positioned as an objective and pure discipline. However, the content and the context in which it is taught, the mathematicians who are celebrated, and the importance that is placed upon mathematics by society are subjective. Mathematics has been used to normalize racism and marginalization of non-Eurocentric mathematical knowledges, and a decolonial, anti-racist approach to mathematics education makes visible its historical roots and social constructions.
The Ontario Grade 9 mathematics curriculum emphasizes the need to recognize and challenge systems of power and privilege, both inside and outside the classroom, in order to eliminate systemic barriers and to serve students belonging to groups that have been historically disadvantaged and underserved in mathematics education.
As someone with a minor in Math, I can assure you that in all of the math classes I took, I was never taught anything that had anything to do with the color of someone's skin, which people had power or privilege, or could see any determination as to why Math as a subject would in any way serve to disadvantage anyone for any reason.
It is as pure and objective of a educational discipline could possibly be. No matter what color your pocket protector was, what Texas Instrument calculator you owned, or which Asian country you came from, Avagadro's constant was always 6.02214076×10 to the 23rd power. There was never a test provided that included anything having to do with social issues or politics. Sort of think that it the way it should remain.
So if we are now going to incorporate teachings about power and privilege in Math class, what classes can we still teach without turning them into a platform for liberal social agenda? The answer appears to be none. The thing that suffers here is that every minute a math teacher spends talking about social issues is just another minute wasted that should have been used teaching (gasp) math.
I promise you that the Asians, Indians, and other countries are not teaching social justice in their math classes. Which is why more and more of your computer programers, engineers, and other high tech jobs continue to go to Asians, Indians, and people from other parts of the world. Tech companies are not going to be reaching out to that Ontario graduate if they need someone who actually knows math.

Kristi Noem Slams GOP Governors Over Virus Restrictions
July 12, 2021 at 8:34 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 60 Comments
“South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem questioned the grit and instinct of fellow GOP governors who enacted Covid-19 measures like mask mandates and business closures to stop the spread of the virus… The state had 14,090 cases per 100,000 people, ranking South Dakota with the third highest rate in the nation,” CNN reports.
“Her comments Sunday were a shot across the bow from Noem as she positions herself in a field that has been essentially frozen by former President Donald Trump, who is teasing another run for his former office as he falsely claims that his 2020 contest with Joe Biden was rigged. Noem, who was greeted with a standing ovation at CPAC hours before Trump was slated to speak Sunday, has been defined in part by her intense loyalty to Trump.”

A Reminder on Working-Class DEMOCRATIC Voters
July 12, 2021 at 9:35 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Ray La Raja:
“Primaries are about factional battles within parties, and Eric Adams won a major fight last week. The message from Adams’s win in New York City’s Democratic primary — echoing that of President Biden’s victory last fall — is that the Democratic Party is much more than the progressive left, even in the most progressive of cities.
“His base of support, polling suggested, was not college-educated professionals but an ethnic and racial mosaic of older New Yorkers, many of whom lack college degrees.
“Adams reminded us that less educated voters who make up most of the party have different priorities than the progressive left — notably on crime, a major issue in the race.”

Coronavirus infects vaccinated leader at Florida condo site
AOL Associated Press
July 12, 2021, 9:53 AM
MIAMI (AP) — A vaccinated Miami-Dade county commissioner who helped other local officials in Surfside following the collapse of a condominium building announced that he and his chief of staff tested positive for COVID-19.
The news release late Sunday from Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman Jose “Pepe” Diaz said he and his chief of staff Isidoro Lopez, who also received a vaccine against COVID-19, came down with flu-like symptoms earlier in the day and later tested positive for the virus.
“Staff and others who have been in close contact with them will be getting tested between today and tomorrow,” the news release said. The statement also said Diaz and Lopez would be isolating and following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Diaz had participated in news conferences and meetings with other officials in Surfside, the Miami Herald reported. Miami Dade spokesperson Rachel Johnson told the newspaper that COVID-19 tests would be administered at the Surfside command center on Monday.
The search for bodies continues at the wreckage of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside, where earlier Sunday, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava confirmed the death toll had reached 90 in last month's collapse. Some 31 people remain listed as missing.
“Breakthrough” infections — fully vaccinated individuals who contract the coronavirus — do happen, although they are very rare. An Associated Press analysis of government data in May showed only about 1% of such cases resulted in hospitalization or death. The analysis suggested that nearly all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. recently have been in people who weren’t vaccinated, a staggering demonstration of how effective the shots have been and an indication that deaths could approach zero if every eligible person gets the vaccine.>
Last week, Florida health officials reported an increase in COVID-19 cases and a higher positive test rate compared with other recent weeks.

Mathematics can be understood as a way of studying and understanding structure, order, patterns, and relationships. The power of mathematics is evident in the connections among seemingly abstract mathematical ideas. The applications of mathematics have often yielded fascinating representations and results. As well, the aesthetics of mathematics have also motivated the development of new mathematical thinking. The beauty in mathematics can be found in the process of deriving elegant and succinct approaches to resolving problems.
At times, messy problems and seeming chaos may culminate in beautiful, sometimes surprising, results that are both simple and generalizable. Elegance and chaos are both integral to the beauty of mathematics itself and to the mathematical experience. In other words, the beauty of mathematics is illustrated and enhanced by students’ diverse interpretations, strategies, representations, and identities – not diminished by them. Most importantly, students can experience wonder and beauty when they make exciting breakthroughs in problem solving. Therefore, these two aspects of mathematics, aesthetics and application, are deeply interconnected.
The Grade 9 mathematics course strives to equip all students with the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind that are essential to understanding and enjoying the importance and beauty of mathematics. Learning in Grade 9 mathematics begins with a focus on the fundamental concepts and foundational skills. This leads to an understanding of mathematical structures, operations, processes, and language that provides students with the means necessary for reasoning, justifying conclusions, and expressing and communicating mathematical ideas.
When educators put student learning at the centre, provide relevant and meaningful learning opportunities, and use technology strategically to enhance learning experiences, all students are supported as they learn and apply mathematical concepts and skills within and across strands and other subject areas.
The Grade 9 mathematics course emphasizes the importance of establishing an inclusive mathematical learning community where all students are invited to experience the living practice of mathematics, to work through challenges, and to find beauty and success in problem solving. As students engage with the curriculum, they are supported in incorporating their lived experiences and existing mathematical understandings, and then integrating the new ideas they learn into their daily lives. When students recognize themselves in what is taught and how it is taught, they begin to view themselves as competent and confident mathematics learners who belong to the larger mathematics community. As students develop mathematical knowledge and skills, they grow as mathematical thinkers. As students explore histories of mathematics and comprehend the importance and beauty of mathematics, they develop their mathematical agency and identity, at the same time as they make connections to other subjects and the world around them.
Human Rights, Equity, and Inclusive Education in Mathematics.
Research indicates that there are groups of students (for example, Indigenous students, Black students, students experiencing homelessness, students living in poverty, students with LGBTQ+ identities, and students with special education needs and disabilities) who continue to experience systemic barriers to accessing high-level instruction in and support with learning mathematics. Systemic barriers, such as racism, implicit bias, and other forms of discrimination, can result in inequitable academic and life outcomes, such as low confidence in one’s ability to learn mathematics, reduced rates of credit completion, and leaving the secondary school system prior to earning a diploma. Achieving equitable outcomes in mathematics for all students requires educators to be aware of and identify these barriers, as well as the ways in which they can overlap and intersect, which can compound their effect on student well-being, student success, and students’ experiences in the classroom and in the school. Educators must not only know about these barriers, they must work actively and with urgency to address and remove them.
Students bring abundant cultural knowledges, experiences, and competencies into mathematical learning. It is essential for educators to develop pedagogical practices that value and centre students’ prior learning, experiences, strengths, and interests. Such pedagogical practices are informed by and build on students’ identities, lived experiences, and linguistic resources. When educators employ such pedagogy, they hold appropriate and high academic expectations of students, applying the principles of Universal Design for Learning and differentiated instruction to provide multiple entry points and maximize opportunities for all students to learn. By acknowledging and actively working to eliminate the systemic barriers that some students face, educators create the conditions for authentic experiences that empower student voices and enhance their sense of belonging, so that each student can develop a healthy identity as a mathematics learner and can succeed in mathematics and in all other subjects. Mathematics learning that is student-centred allows students to find relevance and meaning in what they are learning and to make connections between the curriculum and the world outside the classroom.
In mathematics classrooms, teachers also provide opportunities for cross-curricular learning and for teaching about human rights. To create anti-racist, anti-discriminatory learning environments, all educators must be committed to equity and inclusion and to upholding and promoting the human rights of every learner. Students of all identities and social locations have the right to mathematics opportunities that allow them to succeed, personally and academically. In any mathematics classroom, it is crucial to acknowledge students’ intersecting social identities and their connected lived realities. Educators have an obligation to develop and nurture learning environments that are reflective of and responsive to students’ strengths, needs, cultures, and diverse lived experiences – identity-affirming learning environments free from discrimination. In such learning environments, educators set appropriate and high academic expectations for all.

With Republican-backed voting bills moving rapidly through a special session of the state Legislature, Texas Democrats are planning to make a break for it — again.
At least 58 Democratic members of the state House of Representatives are expected to bolt from Austin on Monday in an effort to block the measures from advancing, a source familiar with the plans told NBC News. The unusual move, akin to what Democrats did in 2003, would paralyze the chamber, stopping business until the lawmakers return to town or the session ends.
The majority of the members plan to fly to Washington, D.C., on two private jets chartered for the occasion and use the time there to rally support for federal voting legislation, the source said. Others will make their own way.
The lawmakers risk arrest in taking flight. Under the Texas Constitution, the Legislature requires a quorum of two-thirds of lawmakers be present to conduct state business in either chamber. Absent lawmakers can be legally compelled to return to the Capitol, and the source said Democrats expect state Republicans to ask the Department of Public Safety to track them down.
“It's really exciting to see Democrats taking a bold move with this potential walkout,” Carisa Lopez, political director for civil liberties group Texas Freedom Network, said.
House Democrats already staged one successful walkout to defeat election legislation prioritized by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. Members quietly left the House floor in the final minutes of the regular legislative session that ended in May, breaking quorum and forcing Republicans to adjourn without passing the key agenda item. But that victory was always likely to be short-lived, as Republicans control both legislative chambers. Abbott kept his vow to call a special session, which began July 8.
Republicans didn't waste time. Lawmakers advanced a pair of voting measures — House Bill 3 and Senate Bill 1 — Sunday after marathon committee hearings in both chambers, with the House hearing lasting nearly 24 hours. Both panels featured members of the public waiting hours to give testimony in the middle of the night. Floor votes were expected to take place as soon as this week.
The Republicans who run the government in Texas can send Texas Rangers to bring them back to Texas, of even arrest them and force them back to Texas.

A dangerous precedent that will be used for door-to-door forced quarantines and gun confiscations
What these Lake County documents reveal is a dangerous escalation of government dispatching “strike force” teams — likely accompanied by armed personnel at some point — to intimidate, harass and illegally coerce people into doing the government’s bidding. These strike force teams are taught to impersonate public health officials, lie their way into residential buildings, trespass onto private property, deceive the public about vaccine safety and side effects, and make a written recording of those who refuse to be vaccinated.
This is a coercive, dangerous government initiative being run under color of law“authority” that essentially seeks to intimidate people into complying with gross violations of their civil rights and human rights.
But since the covid plandemic has established this precedent, governments will readily use this as a template for other campaigns of coercion and intimidation. This will almost certainly include mandatory quarantine efforts where people are literally dragged out of their private residences and swept away to concentration camps, against their consent. All it will take is one more “covid variant emergency” and local governments all across the country will leap at the opportunity to assert more power and deprive citizens of their civil rights.

When The President of the United States uses the bully pulpit near the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia Pennsylvania tomorrow, he may make the most important speech in his life.
Mr. Biden’s speech on Tuesday may signal whether he intends to become involved in pushing that legislation and the overhaul of voting laws to passage.
Mr. Biden made voting issues a priority in his campaign, but as president he has emphasized bread-and-butter issues like infrastructure spending and coronavirus relief. He was largely absent in June when Democrats in the Senate tried and failed to bring up the For the People Act for debate — in part, perhaps, because even Democrats realized that it must be stripped down to a more basic bill to have a chance of passing.
The president is unlikely to have that option again. Over the weekend, a close ally, Representative James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, told Politico that Mr. Biden must push to modify the filibuster so both voting bills could pass.
So did civil rights leaders in a meeting with the president on Thursday. “We will not be able to litigate our way out of this threat to Black citizenship, voting and political participation,” Sherrilyn Ifill, the president of the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said later. “We need legislation to be passed in Congress.”
The consequences of doing that — or not — could be profound, said Dr. Sabato.
“If there was ever a moment to act, it would be now, because Republican legislatures with Republican governors are going to go even further as we move into the future,” he said.
“For years, Democrats will point to this as a missed moment. And they’ll be right.”
But I disagree. His understanding of the United States and his experience with governing will lead to the future.

It's becoming increasingly hard to keep up with these fuckwits these days. Thank God we have the alky as their point man.
If you’re looking for the right to vote, you won’t find it in the United States Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights recognizes the core rights of citizens in a democracy, including freedom of religion, speech, press and assembly. It then recognizes several insurance policies against an abusive government that would attempt to limit these liberties: weapons; the privacy of houses and personal information; protections against false criminal prosecution or repressive civil trials; and limits on excessive punishments by the government.
But the framers of the Constitution never mentioned a right to vote. They didn’t forget – they intentionally left it out. To put it most simply, the founders didn’t trust ordinary citizens to endorse the rights of others.
They were creating a radical experiment in self-government paired with the protection of individual rights that are often resented by the majority. As a result, they did not lay out an inherent right to vote because they feared rule by the masses would mean the destruction of – not better protection for – all the other rights the Constitution and Bill of Rights uphold. Instead, they highlighted other core rights over the vote, creating a tension that remains today.
[...]
Today, the country remains engaged in a long-running debate about what counts as voter suppression versus what are legitimate limits or regulations on voting – like requiring voters to provide identification, barring felons from voting or removing infrequent voters from the rolls.
These disputes often invoke an incorrect assumption – that voting is a constitutional right protected from the nation’s birth. The national debate over representation and rights is the product of a long-run movement toward mass voting paired with the longstanding fear of its results.
The nation has evolved from being led by an elitist set of beliefs toward a much more universal and inclusive set of assumptions. But the founders’ fears are still coming true: Levels of support for the rights of opposing parties or people of other religions are strikingly weak in the U.S. as well as around the world. Many Americans support their own rights to free speech but want to suppress the speech of those with whom they disagree. Americans may have come to believe in a universal vote, but that value does not come from the Constitution, which saw a different path to the protection of rights.

Trump Demands Republicans Embrace the Insurrection
Former US President Donald Trump speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) ... MORE
By Josh Marshall
July 12, 2021 11:01 a.m.
A week ago I noted that Donald Trump’s Sarasota campaign rally demand for freedom for indicted insurrectionists signaled the central theme of the 2022 midterm campaign. Trump also demanded retribution against for the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt as she broke through the final line of defense protecting fleeing members of Congress. The subsequent week has only confirmed that prediction as Trump has escalated his demands and fine-tuned his rhetoric.
Trump returned to the theme twice yesterday, first in an extended interview with Fox Business News’ Maria Bartiromo and then in a speech to CPAC in Dallas. With Bartiromo he declared the insurrection “a lovefest between the Capitol Police and the people who walked down to the Capitol” and repeated his demand that “they have to release the people that are incarcerated.”
Trump has also begun to rebrand shooting of Ashli Babbitt, who he calls “an innocent, wonderful, incredible woman.” Far from being shot as she broke through the doorway separating the insurrectionists from the evacuating members of Congress he now says she was “fatally shot on January 6 as she tried to climb out of a broken window,” as though she were shot down trying to flee.
He has also begun to claim that the officer who shot Babbitt was working either for Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi. On front after front, Trump has returned to the escalating incitements to violence which caused the Jan 6th insurrection in the first place.
I’ve seen numerous journalists and commentators refer to this as Trump’s ‘revisionist history’ of the events of January 6th. That’s the wrong way to look at this. No one, especially Trump’s target audiences, forgets the pictures of Capitol Police officers being struck with flag poles and dragged into the crowd for beatings or insurrectionists marauding through the halls of Congress. The point of his over-the-top claims isn’t to litigate the particulars of any specific encounter. Their very absurdity is less an effort to deceive as a demonstration of power. They are meant to make the case that the whole event was justified, righteous and right. It was right and necessary and praiseworthy because the election was stolen, rigged, illegitimate. The Big Lie and the insurrection are inseparable and Trump is arguing that one can’t be vindicated without the other.
This argument about inseparability and vindication is a clue to the first goal of this push: maintaining an iron grip on the GOP and making the 2022 campaign about him. Congressional Republicans have almost unanimously opposed any efforts to investigate the events of January 6th. But that’s not enough. Trump wants them to embrace the insurrection explicitly. He is defining the embrace of the insurrection as the dividing line between RINO insiders and pro-Trump true believers. He is using it as a cudgel to maintain his hold over the party and keep his own grievances, demands and drama as the party’s animating core.
He is pressing for a public argument in which the only meaningful question is whether the insurrection is right or wrong, believing that – almost certainly correctly – that this will leave Republican candidates no space and no choice but to line up in the former category.
More fake GW hoax records set for the US!!!!! While rat pushes there is no right to vote.....his GOP is doing everything they can to stop millions from voting in order to maintain their power!!!!!!

The past month of June saw record-high temperatures, as some areas hit over 120 degrees, making it the hottest June on record.
Temperatures in North America were just over 2 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the month’s average calculated from 1991 until 2020, according to metrics released by the Copernicus Climate Change Service on Wednesday. Throughout the month, Death Valley, California, hit 124 degrees, and Billings, Montana, reached 108 degrees, shattering its previous record by 10 degrees.
“For North America, record-breaking heatwave conditions were centered initially over the southwestern USA and then over the northwestern USA and south western Canada. The all-time record for daily-maximum temperature in Canada was broken three days in a row in British Columbia,” the report said.
Only small pockets of the southeastern United States, central Mexico, and northern central Canada recorded temperatures at or below the respective averages for their regions.
The continent’s previous warmest June on record was in 2012, which saw temperatures about 1.9 degrees higher than the same average.
Scott, this is your Republican party now.
Regarding Joe Biden’s idea to go door-to-door encouraging people to get vaccinated, Rep. Dan Crenshaw tweeted: “How about don’t knock on my door. You’re not my parents. You’re the government. Make the vaccine available, and let people be free to choose. Why is that concept so hard for the left?” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene went a step further, saying people “don’t need your medical brown shirts showing up at their door ordering vaccinations.” And Rep. Lauren Boebert tweeted that “Biden has deployed his Needle Nazis to Mesa County [Colorado],” before asking: “Did I wake up in Communist China?”
You aren't as qualified as William F Buckley Jr. But someone has to risk everything and speak out against Trump and his bonker supporters.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed just shy of 35,000 as investors grew more optimistic ahead of second-quarter earnings reporting season set to kick off this week.
The Dow rose 126.02 points, or 0.4% to 34,996.18, a new record close. The S&P 500 added 0.4% to 4,384.63, also a record close. The Nasdaq Composite traded up 0.2% to a new closing high of 14,733.24. The S&P 500′s gain for the year so far now totals more than 16%.
CNBC
Investors appeared cautiously optimistic ahead of the start of second-quarter earnings reports. JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs will be among the first big companies to report Tuesday before the bell. Both stocks were higher on Monday and financials led among S&P 500 sectors,
“Most investors are expecting blockbuster earnings results and these will likely be peak earnings results,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Cresset Wealth Advisors. “The most important element of these reports this week will be the outlook discussion from management and not necessarily the numbers of the last three months.”

How Arizona’s ‘Critical Race Theory’ Ban Could Backfire,
July 12, 2021 at 4:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Politico:
“When Arizona lawmakers turned their eyes toward their own ‘critical race theory’ ban this past spring, few seemed to remember how the previous attempt to prohibit race-related studies in schools had turned out here.
“In 2010, Gov. Jan Brewer signed a law banning Tucson’s Mexican American studies program. But today, 15 years after the curriculum first caught the attention of Republican lawmakers and a decade after they outlawed it, the courses — or at least a version of them — live on, thanks to a court-appointed monitor… Today, the program is larger than it’s ever been.”

The Loudest Voices Crying ‘Racism’ Are Always Some Of The Most Famous, Well-Paid Black Americans
Isn’t it weird how the loudest voices assuring America we’re all incurably racist tend to do so from very comfortable, financially secure perches?
That fact couldn’t have been illustrated more perfectly than in an article last week by Washington Post columnist Paul Butler, an oppressed minority who also happens to be a law professor at the prestigious Georgetown University and a well-paid legal analyst on national television for MSNBC.
The thrust of Butler’s column is that America remains a top-to-bottom racist country and that even when blacks achieve success in white-dominant fields and spaces, it sucks.
“[F]or now, I am okay with working at a university that in its early years was financed by the sale of enslaved people,” he wrote. “I love my students and respect my colleagues, and have been part of the community’s efforts, still incomplete, to make reparations for that travesty.”
He added that “helping majority-White spaces be less racist and more inclusive feels transformative,” but also that “other times, it feels like an intellectual version of my great-grandfather’s job; he cleaned outhouses — i.e., shoveling White people’s excrement.” Knowing what’s really on Butler’s mind must fill the heart’s of his colleagues with great affection and admiration for him. Who wouldn’t want to be around a person who associates you with feces?
But how is it that someone with so much opportunity and financial security at his fingertips — and at a level most white people couldn’t bother to dream of — can be so miserable? It’s almost always the case in our never-ending nightmarish discussion on race that those leading the insistence that America is hopelessly racist are curiously doing very well, even thriving, despite not being white.
Race hustler Benjamin Crump, an alleged attorney, is making a fortune by hyping up every single run-in between cops and blacks that he can spin into another example of the absolute myth that police everywhere are out to shoot them.
He said in a recent interview that his firm gets one-third of the settlement claims he negotiates with local governments that he shakes down through his wild media campaigns. That means the $12 million settlement in September for the death of Breonna Taylor earned Crump an almost $4 million cut. The $27 million settlement for the death of George Floyd just four months later got him double that.
Joy Reid moved swiftly from guest to contributor to weekend morning host to finally having her own primetime show at MSNBC. If that’s not the face of oppression, what is?
The New York Times’ Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Stacey Abrams of journalism, whined her way to a tenured job at the University of North Carolina, akthough she ultimately refused the offer after complaining that “the credentials, the awards, [and] the status that I have” weren’t properly appreciated. (Victimhood is now weighed in credentials, awards, and status.)
Her colleague Charles Blow, also at the Times, wrote last month in earnest that as a bisexual black man, he is so aggrieved that in one interview he had to remind the journalist “that I had written a best-selling book about my identity and that that book has been developed into an opera that will become the first opera by a Black composer to be staged at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in its history.”
Ibram Xolani Kendi, formerly known as the more easily pronounced Henry Rogers, holds lofty jobs with the prestigious Atlantic magazine and at Boston University, writing things like, “Whenever an American engages in a racist act and someone points it out, the inevitable response is the sound of … denial.” Kendi’s department at BU last year got a $10 million donation from Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. How do black people survive in this country?
Admittedly, it’s possible to point out problems without actually having personally experienced them, but that’s not what any of these people are doing. Each of them professes to have been marginalized and disadvantaged because that’s the black experience in this country. Yet there they sit with some of the most coveted jobs and status that America has to offer.
Are they special? Were they able to accomplish something in spite of being black that others in the same race cannot?
What’s their secret? Maybe black Americans would be in a better position if they shared it.

Thank God we have the US Constitution.
"federal judge in Tennessee has ruled in favor of a Tennessee farmer, granting an injunction against the U.S. Department of Agriculture in its effort to grant federal loan forgiveness to only “non-whites.”
The Southeastern Legal Foundation and the Mountain States Legal Foundation joined to represent Union City farmer Robert Holman as he challenges a provision in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) that allows for automatic loan forgiveness up to 120% of the federal loan for farmers or ranchers who are “socially disadvantaged,” which is defined as “Black, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Hispanic, or Asian, or Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.”
The legal ruling estimated while there was not a cap on the amount of loans that could be granted, $3.8 billion had been allocated to the program and, without an injunction, those funds might be gone before the case is resolved.
A case in Wisconsin granted a temporary restraining order against the USDA loan program, but Thursday's ruling from U.S. District Judge S. Thomas Anderson created an injunction against the USDA, halting the distribution of funds through the program until the case is fully resolved.
“The reason that is so vital is then the USDA cannot spend all the money and come to court and state that this is now a moot point,” said Braden Boucek, director of litigation for the Southeastern Legal Foundation. “Now the government will have to bring new information to show that it has the legal basis to do this, and this is the only way to remedy it.”

This case makes it harder for plaintiffs to prevail," Gardner said. "Why? Because they have to have very clear facts and they have to demonstrate a pretty significant disparity between the impact on white and Black voters."
The 6-3 decision from the high court, delivered on the final day of its term, came as GOP-led states debate changes to their voting rules. The November 2020 presidential election and concerns about election integrity after former President Donald Trump claimed without evidence there was widespread voter fraud served as the catalyst for legislative proposals tightening voting procedures.
In addition to Georgia's sweeping elections measure, Florida also enacted a law that changed its elections procedures, and Republicans in Texas have renewed a legislative effort to impose restrictions on voting, though Democrats there are attempting to thwart their attempts.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday called proposed laws restricting ballot access "authoritarian" and "the worst challenge to our democracy since the Civil War." President Biden is set to deliver remarks on voting rights in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
While the Biden administration has pledged to fight efforts to impose new restrictions on voting, those battles may have to be waged not in the federal courthouses, but in state courts, where judges can review voting laws under state constitutions.
"There's really nowhere else to go, because with the federal law as it's been interpreted, it's not just an uphill climb, you're climbing three mountains back-to-back," Levinson said. "You're really dependent on what the state law is and how protective the state law is."
Fights to expand, rather than restrict, ballot access can also take place in state legislatures, through ballot initiatives and in Congress.
"The federal courts are increasingly disinterested in patrolling these things," Derek Muller, a law professor at the University of Iowa who focuses on election law, said. "We've been in such a litigation-focused approach to voting rights for a long time that people have neglected the lawmaking process."
Congress attempted to pass a sweeping elections reform bill, called the For the People Act, but Republicans blocked the measure from advancing in the evenly divided Senate. Lawmakers now have an eye on legislation that would restore the protections of the Voting Rights Act dismantled by the Supreme Court in 2013.
Any voting bill will need support from at least 10 Senate Republicans to advance, though Levinson said she hopes the Supreme Court's decision in the Arizona case will mobilize lawmakers to act.
"It's not just that we're without our shirt without Section 5, now we're without our shirt and our pants," Levinson said. "Do you really want us out here naked in the wind?"
This is getting more interesting.
The Trump Organization has removed longtime finance chief Allen Weisselberg as an officer at some of its subsidiaries, after prosecutors accused him and the company of a 15-year tax-fraud scheme, according to public filings and people familiar with the matter.
The removal of Mr. Weisselberg as an officer from multiple Trump Organization entities comes amid discussions of potential changes in the chief financial officer’s duties, responsibilities and possibly title at former President Donald Trump’s company, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Weisselberg, who has worked for the Trump family since 1973, is expected to remain at the company, the people said.
One company that is facing charges in the same criminal case, Trump Payroll Corp., previously listed Mr. Weisselberg as treasurer, director, vice president and secretary on Florida Department of State business records. Now Mr. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. , is listed as executive vice president, director, secretary, treasurer and vice president on records filed late last week. His son Eric Trump is now listed as president, director and chairman on those records.

Only to the TDS sufferers and perhaps the clinically insane. Us normals are thinking - "no biggie."
Regarding the right to vote, there is no positive and declarative right to vote in the constitution. The constitution, as 0linsky so begrudgingly acknowledged, was a document of "negative rights. Not what the government gave you the right to do, it's what the government COULD NOT do to you or keep you from doing.
Look at your example.:
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
and the money quote -
"shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."
It targets that no one can keep you from voting because of your age.

Here’s how the New York Times covered the freedom protests that took over Cuba:
Shouting “Freedom” and other anti-government slogans, thousands of Cubans took to the streets in cities around the country on Sunday to protest food and medicine shortages, in a remarkable eruption of discontent not seen in nearly 30 years.
Thousands of people marched through San Antonio de los Baños, southwest of Havana, with videos streaming live on Facebook for nearly an hour before they suddenly disappeared. As the afternoon wore on, other videos appeared from demonstrations elsewhere, including Palma Soriano, in the country’s southeast. Hundreds of people also gathered in Havana, where a heavy police presence preceded their arrival.
“The people are dying of hunger!” one woman shouted during a protest filmed in the province of Artemisa, in the island’s west. “Our children are dying of hunger!”
One clip circulating on Twitter showed protesters overturning a police car in Cardenas, 90 miles east of Havana. Another video showed people looting from one of the much-detested government-run stores, which sell wildly overpriced items in currencies most Cubans do not possess.
In a country known for repressive crackdowns on dissent, the rallies were widely viewed as astonishing. Activists and analysts called it the first time that so many people had openly protested against the Communist government since the so-called Maleconazo uprising, which exploded in the summer of 1994 into a huge wave of Cubans leaving the country by sea.
Carolina Barrero, a Cuban activist, went even further. “It is the most massive popular demonstration to protest the government that we have experienced in Cuba since ’59,” she said by text message, referring to the year Fidel Castro took power. She called the public outpouring on Sunday “spontaneous, frontal and forceful.”
“What has happened is enormous,” she added.
The protests were set off by a dire economic crisis in Cuba, where the coronavirus pandemic has cut off crucial tourism dollars. People now spend hours in line each day to buy basic food items. Many have been unable to work because restaurants and other businesses have remained on lockdown for months.
The desperate conditions have triggered an uptick in migration by both land and sea.
Since the start of the fiscal year last October, the U.S. Coast Guard has intercepted more than 512 Cubans at sea, compared with 49 for the entire previous year. On Saturday, the Coast Guard suspended the search for nine Cuban migrants whose vessel overturned at sea off Key West, Fla.
Did you notice how in the first paragraph, the NYT referred to “freedom” as an anti-government slogan?
It appears that the Time accidentally revealed where they actually stand.
You see, it is the government’s job to PROTECT freedom.
That’s why we have the constitution.
Freedom and the government should not be enemies
and the money quote -
"shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."
It targets that no one can keep you from voting because of your age.

Biden Wins By Not Playing the Game

“Biden, by contrast, insisted that the way to win was not to play. In the face of the new politics of spectacle, he kept true to old-school coalition politics. He understood that the Black Church mattered more in Democratic primaries than any amount of Twitter snark, and, by keeping a low profile on social media, showed that social-media politics was a mirage.
“It is the belief, animating Biden’s whole career, that there is a surprisingly large area of agreement in American life and that, by appealing to that area of agreement, electoral victory and progress can be found.”

July 12, 2021 at 8:37 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
The Atlantic:
“To many Americans, Brad Raffensperger is one of the heroes of the 2020 election. Georgia’s secretary of state, who is a conservative Republican, refused then-President Donald Trump’s direct pleas to “find” the votes that would overturn his defeat in the state.”
Said Raffenperger:
“I’ve shown that I’m willing to stand in the gap and I’ll make sure that we have honest elections.”
“As he bids for a second term as Georgia’s top election administrator, however, Raffensperger is not so much standing in the gap as he is falling through it. A Trump loyalist in Congress, Representative Jody Hice, is challenging him in a primary with the former president’s enthusiastic endorsement, and the state Republican Party voted last month to censure him over his handling of the election. GOP strategists in the state give Raffensperger no chance of prevailing in next May’s primary.”
I HOPE THEY GET A BIG SURPRISE, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, SOONER OR LATER.

"Child Tax Credit Payments Go Out This Week
July 12, 2021 at 6:01 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 108 Comments
The expanded monthly tax credit payments announced by the White House in May will begin going out Thursday, Axios reports.
“The enhanced child tax credit will provide eligible families with $300 monthly cash payments per child up to age 5 and $250 for children ages 6–17. About 39 million households — and 88% of children in the U.S. — will be covered by the monthly payments"

The pederast has no idea about the spam he posts, just look at his stupidass post this morning lamenting that the poor were harmed by a free vaxx.
He dumber than a brick and spams shit simply because he thinks it makes the USA and Repubs look poorly
He’s an unthinking drone of stupidity
James, don't be like alky and Dennis .
Actually debate the topics you bring here.
Trickle Down Economic Disaster is over.
Mr. Biden has now correctly declared that this 40-year “experiment” has failed. “Capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism,” he proclaimed at the signing of the executive order. “It’s exploitation.”
Perhaps the most progressive part of the executive order is its denunciation of the way in which big corporations suppress wages. They do this both by monopolizing their labor market — think of the wage-setting pressures exerted by Walmart in a small town — and by forcing millions of their employees to sign noncompete agreements that prevent them from taking a better job in the same occupation or industry.
The president and his antitrust cabinet have turned an important aspect of traditional business competition on its head. For too long, those who advocate more competition among companies have offered employers a warrant for slashing wages and benefits, as well as outsourcing services and production. But Mr. Biden envisions a world in which businesses compete for workers. “If your employer wants to keep you, he or she should have to make it worth your while to stay,” Mr. Biden said on Friday. “That’s the kind of competition that leads to better wages and greater dignity of work.”
The nation’s antimonopoly tradition arises once more.

LOL.
Awesome shot there rat you lying sack of trumpist idiocy!!!!!!! It ain't plagiarism .....look up the definition before you look dumber than the goat fucking loser!!!!!!!!!
He’ll never get it. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole with him before on whether the Constitution says you have a right to vote.
At least he's consistent. Everything the alky claims to know about constitutional law is patently and demonstrably untrue.
It ain't plagiarism ....
Posting the words of others without attribution is the very definition of plagiarism. Around here it's the alky's lifeblood.
And it's why he can never rise to a challenge to defend his beliefs. It's simply not possible when one is 100% reliant upon the words of others to express "their" opinion. The opinions of ivy-league credentialed asshats are theirs, not his.
It's why he's blatantly stolen the military valor of his family members as he himself dodged the draft, lived vicariously through others, and even relied on the work of accomplished contractors as he passed their work off as his own.
His only accomplishments are that he's an alcoholic, and a chronic physical abuser of women.
The alky is a fraud by every legitimate measure of the human condition.
Landslide The New Book.
Trump believed that the Democratic Party’s elders would pull Biden, sure to lose, at the last minute, and replace him with a ticket of Andrew Cuomo and Michelle Obama. He toyed with the idea of using the pandemic as a pretext for indefinitely postponing the election. The most notorious line in his speech to the incipient mob on Jan. 6 — “we’re going to walk down to the Capitol” — was an ad-lib, not in the text his staff had prepared. But the strength of “Landslide” comes less from these stories and more from a coherent argument that Wolff, in partnership with his sources, makes about how we should understand the period between Nov. 3 and Jan. 20. Most quickly produced books about political events don’t do that.
Trump, in these pages, is self-obsessed, delusional and administratively incompetent. He has no interest in or understanding of the workings of government. He doesn’t read or listen to briefings. He spends vast amounts of time watching conservative television networks and chatting on the phone with cronies. The pandemic puts him at a special disadvantage; many of the people around him are either sick or afraid to come to work because that would entail complying with a regime of Covid noncompliance that Trump demands. If anybody tells him something he doesn’t want to hear, he marginalizes or fires that person and finds somebody else to listen to, who may or may not hold an official position. If Fox News becomes less than completely loyal, he’ll switch to Newsmax or One America News Network. He lives in a self-curated information environment that bears only a glancing relationship to reality.
Before the belief that the election was stolen had taken full control of Trump’s mind, the idea was already there — because he chose to regard all forms of expanded access to voting, which tend to favor the Democrats, as stealing. He turned down entreaties from his staff to set up a Republican get-out-the-early-vote operation, just as he also turned down entreaties to endorse masking and social distancing during the height of the pandemic: off-brand. He was utterly disorganized, with endless firings and reshufflings of the key players. And during his second impeachment trial, Trump was represented by a comically incompetent, squabbling team of lawyers whom he had barely met.
In the early hours of election night, when he was running well ahead of the pre-election polls, Trump decided he had won. After it became clear to everyone but him that he hadn’t, he empowered an alternate-reality team of advisers, headed by Rudy Giuliani and including people whom even Giuliani considered to be unacceptably out-there, like Sidney Powell, the freelancing lawyer, and Mike Lindell, the C.E.O. of MyPillow, and he embraced every available conspiracy theory and strategic fantasy about how he could change the result. To Trump, in Wolff’s telling, elections are roughly similar to the due dates for loans in his real-estate business — a place to start negotiating. Because he divides people into two categories, strong and weak, and because he has the deep cynicism of an unprincipled person, he chose to believe that he was not the first result-denying presidential candidate, only the first who was manly enough to challenge a typically corrupt outcome.
Nobody holding official power in the White House or the Republican Party — in particular, Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell — took Trump’s ravings seriously, so the horrifying events of Jan. 6 came as a surprise, probably even to Trump himself. The various rallies that day had been organized by independent right-wing political entrepreneurs with businesses to promote, not by the White House, and it wasn’t yet clear to most Republicans in Washington how fully Trump’s followers had accepted his insistence that the election had been stolen. Almost nobody in the White House was actively trying to persuade members of Congress to vote for the election challenges that were before them on Jan. 6.

Goldman Sachs reported its second-quarter earnings before the bell on Tuesday.
Here are the numbers:
Earnings: $15.02 per share vs. $10.24 expected by analysts polled by Refinitiv. A year ago, Goldman recorded an EPS of $6.26 (53 cents per share if accounted for costs related to the 1MDB settlement.)
Revenue: $15.39 billion vs. $12.17 billion expected
Investment banking posted its second-highest revenue quarter ever with $3.61 billion, behind the first quarter of 2021, as a booming IPO market boosted Goldman’s equity underwriting.
Last month, following the strong results of the Federal Reserve’s annual stress test, Goldman said it planned on boosting its dividend by 60% to $2 per share, subject to approval from the bank’s board.
For its first quarter of 2021, the New York-based bank blew past analysts’ expectations with record net profits and revenues on strong performance from the firm’s investment banking and trading businesses, thanks to a rise in retail banking fueled by cheap consumer deposits.
Of the six biggest U.S. banks, Goldman gets the largest share of its revenue from Wall Street activities including trading and investment banking.
Shares of Goldman have risen 45% in 2021 on the back of the economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Flashbacks: Aren’t California’s High Gas Prices What The Left Have Wanted?
Well, it’s a start, as Steven Chu, former President Obama’s then-incoming energy secretary, told the Wall Street Journal in the fall of 2008: “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”
In September of 2019, after CNN’s seven hour “climate change town hall,” Bryan Preston wrote, “Seriously, if you see all of the above — which is just a sample — and vote for any of these people for any office at any level, it’s on you. If you like Venezuela, voting for any of them will bring you a whole lot of Venezuela.”
And as Kate of Small Dead Animals wrote after the CNN horror show, “Don’t make the mistake of thinking they don’t mean it.”
QED: Biden Permanently Kills Keystone XL Pipeline, Developer Abandons Project After Permit Pulled.
● NBC, the Washington Post, and the New York Times in lockstep call for higher gas taxes.
● 2008 L.A. Times headline: “The joy of $8 gas.”
● 2012 CNN headline: “Rising gas prices aren’t as bad as you think.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will lay out the “moral case” for voting rights as he faces growing pressure from civil rights activists and other Democrats to combat efforts by Republican-led state legislatures to restrict access to the ballot.
Biden has declared that protecting voting rights was the central cause of his presidency, but the White House has taken sharp criticism from allies for not doing more while contending with political headwinds and stubborn Senate math that have greatly restricted its ability to act.
Biden’s speech Tuesday in Philadelphia, to be delivered at the National Constitution Center, is intended as the opening salvo of a public pressure campaign, White House aides said, even as legislative options to block voting restrictions face significant obstacles.
“He’ll lay out the moral case for why denying the right to vote is a form of suppression and a form of silencing,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday as she previewed the speech. “He will redouble his commitment to using every tool at his disposal to continue to fight to protect the fundamental right of Americans to vote against the onslaught of voter suppression laws.”

Several states have enacted voting restrictions, and others are debating them, as Republicans have seized on former President Donald Trump’s false claim of massive voter fraud in the 2020 election as a pretense for curtailing ballot access.
Psaki said Monday that Biden will vow to “overcome the worst challenge to our democracy since the Civil War.” But aides have suggested that his address will not contain much in the way of new proposals.
Democrats on Capitol Hill have already tried to respond with a sweeping voting and elections bill that Senate Republicans united to block. Most Republicans have similarly dismissed a separate bill, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore sections of the Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Court previously weakened.
Those roadblocks have increased focus on the Senate filibuster, which, if left in place, would seem to provide an insurmountable roadblock to the pair of voting rights overhaul measures pending in Congress. Republicans have been unanimous in their opposition, and it would take the elimination or at least modification of the filibuster for the bills to have a chance at passage.
Moderate Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona so far have expressed reluctance to changing the Senate tradition. The voting bills have little other chance of passage in a body that is a 50-50 deadlock, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie.
Biden’s long-awaited speech was to roll out just hours after a group of Democratic Texas lawmakers arrived in the nation’s capital after fleeing their state to try to kill a Republican bill making it harder to vote in Texas. The legislators said they were ready to remain in Washington for weeks, forcing a dramatic new showdown over voting rights in America.
Private planes carried a large group of Democrats from Austin to Washington, the lawmakers skipping town just days before the Texas House had been expected to give early approval to sweeping new voting restrictions in a special legislative session. They hoped to deprive the Legislature of a quorum — the minimum number of representatives who have to be present for the body to operate.

If Biden won the election by legitimate means then he would obviously welcome state audits to confirm his victory.
So doing the opposite tells you what?
