Sometimes I think about how romances written during the Regency era don't have any queer or trans people in them, but we know they existed, and we know they loved.
We know, because we have the arrest records.
Countless romances, told between the lines of police reports.
Because the US really prefers to bury the truth.
Like the average American doesn't know we had schools, or what they were, or that our languages and religions were illegal for us into my lifetime, or that forced sterilization was active into 2018. Or that our children were purchasable until ICWA.
it's a very quick way to ensure cultural erasure. also brings to mind residential schools for indigenous children in canada.
Ooof
Square of sod on the sand
Lifting the sod and would ya look at that! A lil armadillo peekin out.
Pssst. Hey
Here is the graphic I use when I teach on how the militarization of police has impacted protestors
So you weren’t interested in learning today.
Yup.
Say something worth listening to.
Yes please help support your local food pantries.
Also a reminder that Congress will be voting on the Farm Bill likely next month. This bill is how SNAP is funded. The GOP wants to cut SNAP benefits. Please contact your Rep + Senators and tell them no cuts to SNAP. It should be expanded not cut.
Considering you have populations of Black (aka african) immigrants who have been subjected to forced sterilizations and are in a lower class than non Arab Israelis; and repressed brown people (aka Arabs) the dynamics are related enough for my comment to stick. Stay mad
Yeah you’re right. We’re different. We actually actually abolished our segregation era apartheid system thru mass action while your grandparents were building yours up. But hey at least you are “having negative thoughts” about your country, which is as useful as piss in a bucket.
Oh my bad. I just remembered that Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, recently made it illegal to criticize the country which is punishable by charges of terrorism and subsequent imprisonment. Definitely not the bad guys.
Boy howdy people do the memory of Carl Schurz, German immigrant and Union general in the US Civil War, enormous violence on the goddamned daily. The full quote is:
“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”

For real. They need to tighten up what they already got before adding in a bunch more buggy shit.
please no new features until search doesn’t suck
If I post the joke I’ll end up in Gitmo
I think how liberals (rightfully!) got mad at Trump's child separation policy, but didn't extend their anger to realize that's what all borders do
It’s not an assumption when it’s based on measurable evidence by Israeli journalists showing decades of continued violence towards Black and brown people. Learn how to criticize your own country coward.
Can you imagine how excruciating being there must be? Kid rock sexually assaults the server then gets mad at his drink as Tucker is forcing a shrill laugh while Trump absolutely shits on Junior who pretends to be in on the joke, the white foam builds in the corner of his lips.
Today’s mood is laughing at incompetent execs for causing historically long strikes and then losing any way lmao
You understand how that last sentence could absolutely be referring to the IDF, right?
There are folks who will explain away their family members who watched the bombing for entertainment as “a product of their time”

Uh oh steampunk magician is upset
Actually this clarifies a lot that had confused me about atheism and Judaism! I’d thought they were mutually exclusive but I can totally see how they’re compatible
