If anyone ever comes to my school and tries doing this to my kids (because when they're in my class, they're all my fucking kids), I will send them packing or literally die trying.
a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content
Minneapolis public schools canceled classes officials after Roosevelt High School said armed Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders

Yuuuup.
This kinda imperial hubris is just fascinating. It's obvs not true (the Taliban are back in power, the communists still run Vietnam, etc) but more than that I find it baffling to want it to be true. The status "citizen of a country that does war crimes with impunity" is imo a bizarre thing to crave.
Some truly demonic stuff online

Got money for wars but can't feed the poor
We can’t pay for USAid, science research, daycare, school lunches, or healthcare, but there’s no problem launching an illegal war that will cost taxpayers billions of dollars and enrich all the grifters, goons, and ghouls in this administration.

Watching 90s SportsCenter with the B team just to Larry Beil something
Watching Rickey Henderson highlights just to steal something
Watching the Marlins just to teal something.

Had a roommate in college who was VERY into crooners and listened to this year-round. To say I was unprepared for this in September was an understatement.

The replica (I believe, correct me if I am misremembering) of this arch that they have at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is one of the most chilling pieces, to me, when I take my classes most years. Absolutely disgusting to see somebody use it in a Halloween parade.

I asked my mom's mom (blame her for much of my personality) why she did crosswords in pen.

"I'm cocky."
What's one of your favorite memories from your grandmas?

If you force me to watch a video vs. read an article I consider it an act of war.
The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Capitulating to bad-faith people who are acting in bad faith is cowardice. It is also never, ever, ever, ever, ever a good idea.

This is probably going to come across as mean spirited to some but if they had a "We're #2!" shirt to commemorate 2007's wild ride, I'd be interested
we absolutely had to get some new USF on the site.

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

Just completely and utterly fucked.
"school shooting industry"
npr.org NPR @npr.org · Sep 9
The effort to keep schools safe from mass shooters has ballooned into a multibillion dollar industry. Companies are selling school districts assurance with high-tech products.

As union membership goes down, more wealth gets transferred up to the top 10% from the working class.

There’s a reason why corporations and billionaires spend $400 million per year busting unions.

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.
