Customers talking to cashiers or help desk folks or servers or baristas is GOOD, actually, and automating those people out of existence is going to further entrench us into our various silos which is BAD for our collective future

Race and class have been intertwined since the Doctrine of Discovery. Attempts to separate them and deal with them as separate elements have been doing the work of the powerful and spreading injustice. Chairman Hampton was martyred for recognizing this.

My real name is Nick Farruggia, and the best thing about me is that I’m the son of Robin and Doug Farruggia. My dad passed away unexpectedly last week. The world should know what he was like, so I wrote about him.

This is also why we need populist progressives and leftists to prioritize racial justice AND economic justice. When people like Platner come along, the message is you can only have one but not both. Whereas they only really are effective together.

It is really wild how much Black causes have been completely abandoned or lowered in priority by many Dems and many people, from moderates to progressives to the left. As we enter fascism, we can’t keep our eyes off the core of how we got here. Not to mention simply not abandoning Black people.

Platner pulled out. It's a shame his dad didn't.

We all change in appearance as we age. Even eels! For most of their lives, living in fresh water, they're yellowish-brown. It helps them blend into the mud. But as they prepare to migrate back to sea to mate & die, they become silver in color. Just like the rest of us. 🗃️🧪
