The game of tokens and representation was created as a counter-revolutionary operation, because it works.
They throw you a bone, and you run off and celebrate as if they aren't raping and killing your children.
They keep the USA from uniting behind socialism or any other radical political thought.

Redlining links Black women and higher rates of breast cancer
Recent research shows that living in redlined neighborhoods not only increases the risk of breast cancer for Black women, but also shapes their survival rates and broader health outcomes.

According to the MN-BCA, on Friday, the FBI notified the BCA and reiterated that they "will not provide the BCA with access to any information or evidence that it has collected in the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti" -- nor the Jan. 7 Renee Good or the Jan. 14 Julio Sosa-Celis shootings.

This editor hard bootlicking on the twisted immorality of the mechanized authoritarian state. Don't worry, in the end the machines will eat them too

Now the editor is castigating her and journalism professors for not being “prepared for the workforce.”

Kind of weird that the DNC just straight up won't release the post-2024 election autopsy so we know why they lost. 🤔

I agree with this completely, but I also know this won't change at all. It's one of the big reasons that I know voting won't save anyone from anything. The populace isn't educated enough or literate enough to even grasp this most simple of concepts around voting, let alone more complex issues.
Even if you fully intend to vote for whoever the Democratic nominee ends up being, there’s a huge difference between doing that quietly in November 2028 and loudly announcing it years in advance with zero conditions attached.
What's the purpose of saying that there's no position so extreme that someone could lose your vote? Especially this far out? You're effectively giving possible candidates the all clear to move as far right as they'd like. This seems foolish.

Didn't see anyone bring up microwave ovens. They only exist because remote radar station operators in the Cold War would get cold and found they could warm up by standing in front of the radar antenna while it was active.
Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

"While Israel did not announce a de jure annexation of the West Bank, it has laid the legal groundwork for it."

"Israel just erased Palestinian existence from the West Bank by law, and it's not an overstatement."

Israel just started legalizing its annexation of the West Bank. Here's what that means.
The Israeli government recently took radical steps to change the legal status quo in the West Bank. Here's what these changes mean and how they set the stage for annexation.
