when people say "you have to do it like MLK did", there's a lot of history getting washed out in that BS platitude but a big one is how different the media environment was and how that impacts tactics. the 60s have

1. far, FAR, more newspapers, magazines and
2. far *less* TV channels.

It's also not true. White maternal death rates are also not great when compared to other countries. The downside of using the people you systematically opress as your benchmark is you fail to recognize how your own policies are killing you.

Just cannot understand why these multi millionaires with huge investments in commercial property keep banging on about working from home.

Meine Urgroßtante hat mit 90 noch Bücher unter dem Sofakissen versteckt, damit sie nicht beim Lesen erwischt wurde.
In meiner Jugend war zum Glück schon der Fernseher der Böse. Heute sind es Handys.
Dabei vergessen die meisten, dass das Medium alleine nicht alles ist. Der Inhalt ist mMn wichtiger.

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

Watching The Agency with my husband who hasn't seen the French original. Biting my lip over a certain early plot about Syria and Assad.

Reminds me of when a similar thing happened in Homeland and was reflected in Jordan in real life.

Sometimes these shows are documentaries.

Love this little goth baby.

So many horrific stories of the American Healthcare insurance system.

Protect the NHS at all costs.

People "Feel Unsafe" Because Visible Poverty Is Everywhere Media hysteria around “rising crime” works because it touches on something real: a palpable increase in visible human suffering. What matters is how we alleviate that suffering.

This has become an area of academic research, that people often mistake the profound discomfort of visible poverty with risk of violent danger

"let's take this to my place" with a quote to a new thread would be a nice etiquette if we could normalize it

Screenshot of a UK Labour Party tweet, in which the Tweet says "The Tories lost control of our borders. Labour is taking it back," and the image is of Keir Starmer with a headline saying "Keir Starmer has organised the three largest deportation flights in UK history."

I get the political calculation here. I'm just gonna point out that the predominance of research into European parties' efforts to outflank the far right like this has found that they merely legitimised the far right's political framing and led voters to opt for the "full fat" version.

The best insult, which I also still receive on a daily basis:
Being realistic has never changed the world. It was the dreamers and progressives who changed the unjust conditions. There are great role models from Martin Luther King to the suffragettes. <3

The Scroll of Truth meme - an exploitable image series based on a web comic by artist Tate Parker, in which an explorer discovers a scroll that provides various unpleasant or unsettling truths, causing him to angrily toss the parchment away. In this adaption the text reads "I've finally found it... after all these years - THE SCROLL OF TRUTH!: 'efficient public transportation is more important than electric cars'...NYEHHH!" - as the character throws the scroll away on reading the unwanted information

It reveals that Starmer is terrified of the media, and Farage isn't. It reveals that Starmer knows he will always be attacked, Farage knows he never will.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

Keeping everything crossed for you. Good luck.

With four days left, we stand at the abyss gazing into it all possibilities and sorrows and joy, the only question is do we jump into its dark miasma or build a bridge to a better tomorrow; so as to tread carefully to a future where the sun may shine.
