Black people desperately need to understand they can drape themselves in the American flag all they want but they'll never be recognized as an American. America is white supremacy settler project.

“We’re All American.” - Anok Yai on Color, Courage, and the Melting Pot: “Growing up, I was really insecure about my skin color. I was…I wouldn’t say I was bullied, cause I fought back. But I grew up being told that my skin wasn’t beautiful. You start to believe it. [...] Doing this story, and doing the cover with the American flag, it’s just a representation of the fact that America is a melting pot. It’s a land of immigrants, and we’re all American.” 🔗vanityfair.com/story/anok-yai…

When I go to the store and see them advertising big tubs of chocolate chip cookies as EBT eligible it makes me not care about it getting shut down.

@barely_th3re If only they could pay a fare and avoid that. Damn the evil white man for forcing black people to commit crimes!!!
English
a FELONY for fare evasion is fucking insane and will inevitably be applied unfairly along racist and classist lines
Everything Georgia@GAFollowers
Skipping a $2.50 MARTA fare might not seem like a big deal, but if it happens again and again, it could now lead to a felony charge under Georgia law. MARTA officials say the stricter rule is meant to stop people from riding without paying and keep the system running properly.

@mizthoggy @milkyy_tweets All food ends up in the same place, arguing about nutrition guidelines is one thing, but to deny something that people enjoy for no other reason than you view it in particular as a "luxury" is a special type of psychosis.

Republicans having a positive view of the confederate flag is insane

@MarxoidNess Maybe importing millions of people that permanently remain on welfare, isn't a great idea.

Why tf would they fly the flag of a country that *to this day* does not treat them as whole human beings?
BET Current@BET_Current
New data shows most Black adults never display the American flag, while white, Hispanic, and older Republicans are more likely to fly it proudly. bet.com/article/9hymzh

@baroquerational @Frenchlet1 Ottomans? The empire that killed millions, committed genocide, enslaved millions, and stole and brainwashed children to use as shock troops? THAT'S progressive?
English
@Frenchlet1 In that specific sense yes but the issue is the brits were extractive colonists par excellence so the good they did is far outweighed by the bad. Rome, ottomans and the Spanish are better examples of empires that were ultimately very historically progressive

british colonization ended slavery in a large portion of africa, does that mean the UK freed africa?

Because Mao already freed Tibet

@remmy_308 Ah well she didn't laugh and hand cuff him after he had gotten stabbed, so I guess for UK police she's doing pretty good
English
If you defend a police officer being punched for doing her duty then you are part of the problem with today's society.
In my opinion she was clearly identifiable as a police officer, whether his actions were impaired through drink is another matter, but that is no excuse.

Shocking footage from Birmingham: A young white man is attacked by a group of three others. Police let the attackers run and instead detain him. He’s pushed hard against a wall without officers clearly identifying themselves. His reaction is self-defence. The moment he realises it’s police, he immediately complies — yet they still rough-handle him, handcuff him, and one female officer is heard shouting “Walk to the fucking car, you dick!” This isn’t professional policing. It’s aggressive overreach, crude abuse, and the wrong person in cuffs. Standards have collapsed. We need real accountability now. #TwoTierPolicing #UKPolice #Birmingham

@OGMetacognition @thecavedaddy ... The homeowner that was screaming and running right at him? Right after almost being attacked by a dog?
English
@thecavedaddy Because the retard driver immediately tried to fight the homeowner for absolutely no reason, you fucking retard.

I don’t think you guys fully understand self defense laws.
Homeowners dog charged at full speed barking at delivery driver -
Delivery driver responded and made the dog stop -
- homeowner had every right to shoot him!!!!!!!!

@thecavedaddy Homeowner was well within his rights to ventilate the delivery drone

Anyone who thinks the lady who shot the guy in the Walmart parking lot is guilty of murder is either:
- Biased.
- Ignorant to stand your ground protocol.

@ThatRedCatholic And what's stopping the next Republican from doing the same thing? Would it be worth completely delegitimizing the court system? Not very forward thinking are you?
English
Genuine question, when Dems take back power how much can we stack and pack courts? Can we reform all federal levels of the courts to be left leaning?
Like expand all the numbers with leftist judges that there are no right wing courts anymore?
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire
🚨 In a 2–1 vote, the Fifth Circuit ruled that immigrants who entered the U.S. without inspection but have lived here for years cannot be held indefinitely without an individualized bond hearing. The court held the Fifth Amendment requires a hearing by 90 days of detention.

@ygzgzot The USSR tried to make it work but almost every industry they had was so unproductive that it couldn't compete with the west.

This might work if Marx never said “the individual producer receives back from society exactly what he gives to it. What he has given to it is his individual quantum of labor…”
The thing you think Marx didn’t consider? He did. You can’t beat him. He was smarter than you!
