GOP is losing their ish over this and the RNC is even filing to intervene on this motion to stop the votes from being counted. Because of course they are, heaven forbid you count votes you know with 100% certainty were received on time.

Oprah made some really poor choices for who she elevated in the medical field.

She promoted several bogus medical practices. Not to the level of Gwyneth Paltrow, but some were unsound.

From Dr. Danna Young🇺🇸✌🏻 @dannagal

My teen told me something that’s been haunting me for weeks.

He said “I think almost every white middle school boy is in the alt-right pipeline -at some point-until something/someone pulls them out.”

Between gaming culture, social media, niche online spaces, and reinforcement through friends… they are swimming in it until it gets disrupted.

Talk to your tween sons. Ask them to show you their IG and texts. Talk openly… many are unaware of the insidiousness of the language, memes, and themes they are seeing and sharing.

Good news is that if disrupted actively and supported with inclusive programming/content in school and engaged discursive parenting models, male teens seem to quickly gravitate to more thoughtful and inclusive norms….

Note that this is in part- what outrage-engulfed rw protesters at school board meetings are railing against: inclusive programming and a critical historical lens.

Some are asking what disrupts it... For us, there was a brief middle school moment when I realized the the IG "follow back" norms were flooding his feed w "funny" or "ironic" (tho totally unironic) hateful memes. We spent a couple hours discussing what they actually meant.

Having to articulate in words that "this meme means that the best girl at the party is the drunkest because she's most easily sexually assaulted."
OR "this meme means that black people are less than human" ... is an EYE opening activity for a 13 year old kid.

Note these were literal examples that I recall from that activity.

He immediately unfollowed every account by anyone he didn't personally know - and it started a wonderful dialogue about the dangerous power of dehumanization.

It was also followed soon thereafter by huge jumps in maturity and interest in politics and world events.

NOT because of our conversation, of course lol, but just normal trajectory of adolescence in the face of an environment that encouraged self-reflection and inclusion.

At first I read "Donald Young" as the author and was, for a bit, quite confused. Reading is fundamental.
