134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.

Spike Lee at the knicks game with a Pope Leo jersey is a chefs kiss 🧑🍳
Mass shootings are becoming so common I had to tailor my search for the correct year. Over the weekend university of Iowa students were victims to a shooting near campus. This is far too common and we are far too used to it. Gun violence should not be tolerated. That’s not what the 2nd amendment is.
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
Infographic showing that people with 1 immediate family member incarcerated have 2.6 fewer years of life expectancy; people with 3+ family members incarcerated have 4.6 fewer years of life expectancy
People with an incarcerated or formerly incarcerated family member have a 2.6-year shorter life expectancy than those with no incarcerated family members.
Mass incarceration has created a public health crisis across the country.
The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the US Postal Service can't be sued for intentionally withholding and not delivering a person's mail, for any reason!
So, if the USPS just decides not to deliver your absentee ballot because you're a suspected democrat, you have no recourse.
I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them
I’m not very smart, please explain to me why my air conditioning unit in my room is colder and works better on dehumidifier mode?
ICE is not about immigration.
ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.
Abolish ICE.
We’re going to have fun this Fall at WSU.
This should horrify everyone.
My messy hallway with my cat sunning herself the other day. Thought I’d share because she’s purrrrrdy.
Petty being petty.
I just learned that Baby Jessica committed a crime. While I’m typically pro most crimes, I feel like she needs a timeout back down the well because she’s all we talked about for a decade and I’m disappointed. She didn’t even burn down a warehouse.
ICE must be abolished.
I talked with my students yesterday about how music and media can be forms of protest. Again, discovering how burnt out on media Gen Z is. Which is disheartening as media, music, the world of creative expression is a space of resistance. They’ve been colonised.
Watching the ASA boycott session session called by @soc4pal.bsky.social.
Powerful words by @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social: "ASA is choosing to make itself irrelevant"
A federal judge in Boston on Thursday dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit demanding the state’s top election official provide detailed data on Massachusetts’ registered voters. https://bit.ly/4ckMJMI
Also: “Under the proposal, student organizations could legally deny membership or leadership positions to other students if they disagree with their “lifestyle.”
In my quest to write Luigi I have been thwarted by prison mail system bureaucracy that is utterly broken and stupid. I will get a letter to Luigi and have him as a guest speaker in my class if it kills me!
This is what The Donald posted then deleted earlier today. Take it in…let it stew. Then call your senators, your congresspeople, because it’s time to invoke the 25th amendment.
Yes. In fact, we have a constitutional obligation to do so.
I would like an option when paying my taxes to not support foreign countries and their economies until I’m guaranteed healthcare, education, and housing. Thaaaanks!
I recognize that organizing around city council stuff is exhausting and seems pointless. At the same time, it is worth, at minimum, not letting their & the administration’s decisions go by just like that.
At this point:
Fuck the President
Fuck the Vice President
Fuck all 435 members of the House
Fuck all 100 US Senators
Fuck all world leaders
Fuck ICE
Fuck the police
Fuck every single CEO
Fuck the rich
Someone needs to end this shit and they are only perpetuating it!
What if I told you that all of this was strategy to break former alliances, build new world alliances in dominance, and kowtow current imperial forces such as the EU and restructure who gets to rule and play war for dollars and oil? It’s fascism on a global scale and it’s pernicious.
My mom, who has memory issues, said to me that Israel should hire her to keep track of their agreements because they apparently have worse memory than her. She cited her secretarial certificate from 1963 as references for this position. She also called Israel genocidal bastards.
