this is what you get from generations of the wrestling coach teaching history and civics.

A system that allows people to buy children in a market that prices them by race and other attributes, and that allows other people to decide if a person gets access to their own vital records, is a system that treats children as property. 🥚 thanks for attending my etc.

In 1905, Lucy Parsons helped found the International Workers of the World (IWW), . Her later activism focused on poverty and unemployment, but she continued to identify as an anarchist. She also edited an anarchist newspaper called The Liberator. #WomensHistoryMonth

Lucy Parsons was a 19th century mixed race woman and leading social anarchist (later anarcho-communist), and labor rights and women's rights leader. She was born in Virginia in 1851 to an enslaved woman named Charlotte. #WomensHistoryMonth

Passing my cap around bc the physical & mental burnout finally caught up with me this week and I could really use some support rn. And some food, not even gonna lie. 🙏🏾🤞🏾 cash.app/$sotreu2 venmo.com/sotreu paypal.me/rikiam #HelpSky #MutualAidRequest #MutualAid

It's impossible to tell the Selma and Bloody Sunday story if you erase Jimmie Lee Jackson. It's literally sanitizing the story. There's also the story of Amelia Boynton. Famously photographed beaten unconscious. She would reprise her Selma March with President Obama at the age of 109

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care BECAUSE my position is immutable

“In October 2025, both her SSI and Medicare benefits were halted, and she was told her immigration status was under review. Although Rakestraw was born in the U.S. and has never once traveled or lived outside the country, federal officials still raised questions about her legal status.”

51) Affection and emotional friendships between boys and men being very much normalized

36) Vocational Training being a legit career path which you could start after 8th grade (9-10 grades were for the college-bound mostly)

35) Mandatory vaccinations

34) House calls by doctors and parents getting time off work to stay home with sick kids.

33) Cops not being armed

32) Could be a sampling error but very few kids I knew had parents who spanked or punished them. Could be related to free abortions and childcare, just saying

31) Abortions being free and on demand. In my unsold USSR novella the protagonist at some point mentions popping into the clinic after work for a quick abortion, and some readers had questions

30) Public transportation. I never learned to drive before moving to the US because everything was reachable by foot or public transport

29) Clinics as the main mode of healthcare: pretty much every neighborhood had one (within walking distance, like kindergartens and schools) and it had GPs and specialists. You could potentially see a cardiologist, surgeon, neurologist etc on the same visit

28) Novellas being probably the most popular book length/format

to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be

Y’all really are that scared of one Black woman.

Again: These pink puckered assholes are so scared of @jasmineforus.bsky.social that they set up whole-ass new voting rules in Dallas County and forced through a mid-decade redistricting. Legacy media was all over where her 2022 money came from, with minimal coverage of Talarico’s 2025-26 funding.

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

What ridiculous adverts are y’all getting? I keep getting ads for cruises. Do I seem like someone who loves environmental disaster and being in an enclosed space with a fuckton of people? Or like someone who ever leaves my house?

The children yearn for the Hays Code: no sex, nudity or long kisses, and for every immoral act a timely punishment. Art is 'morally evil in its effects.'

There really are some folks who have absolutely no ability to process a piece of fiction that's any more complex or nuanced than an extremely basic morality play, and they have decided that it's everyone else's problem.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

I don't think you can fully understand how this fucks over Jamaica, without understanding Cuba medical interventionism.

The shitty part of it all is that before modern LLMs, we had amazing technology that provided accommodations for so many people. I think of things like: customized words/phrase prediction, autocorrect, suggestions, voice to text and vice versa, etc. And now NOTHING is not enmeshed with "a.i."

lol as a #PhD student, I have very strong opinions (surprise, surprise) about social science findings that generalize human behavior when they only focus on white people.

Marines...who get the same⚡⚡ tattoos that the SS used as a logo? Marines who gleefully get "my little totenkopf" tattoos? Marines who...volunteer to be a Blackwater mercenary? Yeah, I guess no one understands them like you do.

ok but if you guys would stop assembling all these disparate pieces of evidence into a fairly clear pattern it would be a lot less awkward for him and his defenders

His affiliation with anti-Semites and decision to desecrate his body with multiple white nationalist symbols and think—not entirely incorrectly—that he would still be popular with voters *ARE ISSUES,* you absolute infection.

Found out today that the famous confederate ‘rebel yell’ actually probably originated from Celtic, Arab and indigenous peoples. There is nothing the white supremacists say originated from them that *actually* originated from them. Nothing.

just in case anyone is ever tempted to feel like the wives are victims who need saving like nah man most of ‘em married evil on purpose

I said before. How do people not know basic military history of that region when I do. There’s been *multiple* military conflicts that even when ‘internal’ like Iraq/iran war, never finished, ended in a draw or were simply a catastrophe for the military trying to conquer.

Part of our demands needs to be re-regulate fucking everything. I know people are going to get mad at this and lecture me about OH SURE LETS MAKE IT TAKE TEN YEARS TO START A BUSINESS NOW. aaaaand I don’t give a shit. The job of the govt is to regulate business.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

This fuck actually was involved in the selection and he killed numbers 2,3, 4 and 5 according to him. I think you lose selection rights after that.

We’re going to lose this war of chaos supreme bcz the bros with the biggest dicks didn’t understand it doesn’t matter if you have a big dick if your troops are hungry and don’t know where they’re supposed to be.
