Schools are beholden to their districts so I’m not gonna get mad at them necessarily, but I am going to say that public schools (and tbh the US in general) has a REAL problem with not recognizing violent language/instigation *as* violence, and then cracking down on kids having to defend themselves

He doesn’t see humans as people, he sees them as property.

america really is the world’s police they’re fueled by cocaine and run by the mob

Upside is I guess I'm free wail on mine now, too.

Do wish they'd play an entire song instead of noodling for a minute or two and switching it up

It's La Bamba now or something w the same chord progression...for a verse, now it's something else

If they're still playing when I get off work, I'll try to jam through the wall

Ooh, Fast Car. Nice.

Sounds like my next door neighbor just got an acoustic huitar

We do not want or need to see that and it only encourages him

Times are rough, so help if you can!

Criminalizing homelessness is a part of this fascism.

Homelessness is not random & beyond morality, allowing folks to go unhoused without support is a political choice

"He wasn't actually arrested for--" WE KNOW. THEY ARE NEVER ARRESTED FOR SEX CRIMES. Society dngaf about protecting women, and women know that. We're just happy he was arrested at all

Hang in there, folks. We can do it.

Sadly, not a mayor for all New Yorkers after all. I had so much hope.

Welp

The non-profit industrial complex does not get enough hate TBF

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

thinking of the thousands of books and movies and tv and music created by actual people that don't get noticed bc they don't get the marketing support they deserve, meanwhile these assholes are shoving the garbage theft machine down our throats with more money than god and they can't make us love it

Knowing who to be mad at really is praxis.

Georgia Is Letting a Railroad Seize Land a Black Family Has Owned For 100 Years Descendants of enslaved people are fighting an attempt to use eminent domain to carve a spur through one of Georgia’s largest Black‑owned farms.

NEW: A Georgia railroad owned by a descendant of an enslaver is using eminent domain to take land owned by descendants of the enslaved. If you want to understand how slavery still shapes power today, start here: capitalbnews.org/georgia-rail...

As former public high school teacher, even in my early-mid 20s, it was so clear that teens are kids, and in my 40s now, it's even more obvious. Like, I NEVER mistook a student of any age for an adult.

These people know this too. They just feel entitled to rape kids, particularly girls.

Shoot this into my veins

When do we get to see these predators held accountable in the US?

Thank you for sharing this!

Moving fast, breaking systems and people...

Put me in coach

Kill hate, not your darlings❣️

(Morning, brain still booting up)

beyond whatever knee-jerk emotional response they have to art

As in real life, anything they don't instantly like or understand is "bad", more so if out-group people enjoy it, and perceived as a threat and attack on them

to enjoy art and culture, you have to have some sort of actual aesthetic judgment, even if only expressed & measured by yourself

the rightwing folks I know IRL (& ones I see on here) are too obsessed with in-group & elite acceptance and approbation to have an actual, real opinion of their own

i have come to the view that there is an extent to which elites are projecting the salience of bigotry on the broad public. *they* are preoccupied with this stuff and so they imagine the public must be obsessed with it.

Also: wondering how hard it would be to spin up a 90s style Unix BBS (I know no Unix lol but I also imprinted on DOS & computers before GUIs, so maybe I have a shot)

This entire thread.

Very timely—been thinking about taking more of my devices permanently offline & starting to seriously think about backing up various OSs & firmware (how long before my PS4 won't load a non-live service game I have physical media for Or won't boot without an active network?
