Pursuing Magnetic Levitation #68 Part One: Unions

Unions and real education

My kid is five and we already talked about law enforcement isn't always the good guys, and we probably need to start on telling him to keep quiet and ask for us if law enforcement shows up to his school.

ICE just executed another person in the street in Minneapolis. They already had him subdued and beaten.

No need to seek out the video. It’s bad.

Watching closely to see if any of our leaders here do anything but express dismay. And that does not include siccing “our” police on protesters!

The GOP is consistent. When they said state’s rights they meant “white supremacy“ and when they said “tyranny” they were mad about federal interference with white supremacy.

ICE is white supremacist, so they support it. They aren’t hypocritical on this.

Pursuing Magnetic Levitation #62 Part One: Creating the Captain

Killing the captain

This. I actually find it very annoying that all people want in the face of injustice is to see everyone on the internet crying about it. DO. SOMETHING. Find a thing you can do, and do it.

Absolutely nothing important happened on November 5th, 2024, compared to the fact that Idris Ray Gerald was born. Happy 1st birthday to my littlest boy! We want the very best for you!
