The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Whew!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 That Morning Dew brings tears to the eyes!! ❤️

I don’t know anything about Savvas, but read-aloud options are so often criticized as not “engaging with the text”, when they are often necessary for the 1 in 5 students who have dyslexia. They are no less engaged with the text as anyone else in the classroom.

“What if we didn’t look at the roots of the problem, but instead just threw money at it?” aka the good ol’ American Way.

Meanwhile, Sen. Grassley sounds like a 3rd grader reading his part in the school play from an index card.

Stop making this shit Sam-I-Am

Capitalism is a rigged system and eventually you reach a point where all the failures who have been rewarded over and over control everything from the economy to nation states and then everyone has to suffer from their worsening failures until there’s a major change.

About 3 dozen LAPD officers in full riot gear, standing around looking confused, bored, aimless. A waste of taxpayer money, a threatening show of force without morality or purpose. Behind them, the north wall of the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, covered with Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)" mural: against a field of stark red, white letters that read, in part, WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST

Pulitzer prize for this Jay L. Clenendin image of LAPD stormtroopers in front of Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)"

The people who spend a trillion dollars a year on the military want you to know violence is never the answer.

In the year of 2020 God gave me a new worldview so I decided that I was going to stop writing folky songs and only focus on making reggae music. \n\nI knew that my music needed to be based on two main topics: Praise God our Creator and expose satan the enemy.\n\nI use reggae music as a vehicle to express these two ideas. The songs that are in a major key are typically about giving thanks and praises to God, promoting family values, morality, the innocence of children etcetera. The songs that are in a minor key are mostly about shining light on the evils of the world i.e satan, political agendas, immoral ideologies etcetera. \n\nMusic is a very powerful tool that can be used for either good or evil, so I pray that these works are acceptable to our Creator. \n\nThe new worldview that God gave me led me not only to writing reggae music but also to getting married and starting a family. \n\nMy hope is that this music will encourage people to seek God in all that they do and to spread awareness of the evils of the world so that we can be better prepared. \n\nGod bless

Dictators, fascists, and oligarchs want us to believe that they are all-powerful and that we’d be nothing without them. The reality is, they don’t create anything. WE the people create EVERYTHING! This poster was inspired by this passage from Daniel Hunter’s article “10 ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won”: “It will be helpful to have a power analysis in our minds, specifically that’s known as the upside-down triangle. This tool was built to explain how power moves even under dictatorships. The central tenet is that like an upside-down triangle, power can be unstable. It naturally topples over without anything supporting it. To prevent that, power relies on pillars of support to keep it upright. … Describing the pillars of support, Gene Sharp wrote: ‘By themselves, rulers cannot collect taxes, enforce repressive laws and regulations, keep trains running on time, prepare national budgets, direct traffic, manage ports, print money, repair roads, keep markets supplied with food, make steel, build rockets, train the police and army, issue postage stamps or even milk a cow. People provide these services to the ruler though a variety of organizations and institutions. If people would stop providing these skills, the ruler could not rule.’ Removing one pillar of support can often gain major, life-saving concessions. In response to Trump’s 2019 government shutdown, flight attendants prepared a national strike. Such a strike would ground planes across the country and a key transportation network. Within hours of announcing they were ‘mobilizing immediately’ for a strike, Trump capitulated.” — Daniel Hunter, Waging Nonviolence

happy may day!
