One thing they’re going after is adoption and surrogacy.

According to project 2025. A child shall be raised by their biological mother and father.

Queer erasure won’t end with TQ. They’ll go after LGB too.

Yeah, the accountability stuff is actually in the HALT act.

So it’s as much about them wanting to torture and murder people, as it is about them not feeling like they should be held accountable for it

They do have good cause to strike. Staffing shortages have been bad in most prisons since COVID.

But, because they’re short staffed and our justice system routinely dumps mentally ill folks in prisons. And guards aren’t mental health workers. And prison’s rarely do enough mental health programming or staff enough professionals to take care of the population. The cops end up thinking the only way they have to manage the situation is to torture folks by tossing them in solitary. Because that’s what they’ve been doing up until NY passed a bill to stop it.

Sorry those sentences are oddly formatted. A bit stoned.

There are reasonable demands they could make. Better mental health care for inmates. Fix the staffing shortage by offering better compensation for new hires. Etc.

So I don’t blame them for striking.

But torture isn’t a tool to properly handle prisoners. And I absolutely blame them for making torture one of their demands.

ACAB

They’re complaint is that they can no longer place people in solitary confinement who are mentally ill. And that they can no longer place prisoners in solitary for longer than 15 days, which is the point that it’s considered torture by human rights organizations.

Essentially, they are complaining that they can no longer torture folks.

They have a few other demands too, but this is their main sticking point. Torture is no longer on the table so therefore we are striking.

Class fucking traitors.

There is a grain of truth in all of that.

It was essentially an IT department under the executive branch, that I don’t think anybody had even been staffed at since September. Trump basically renamed it and gave it a new mission statement.

They picked a department, and converted it into Doge. They did this essentially to bypass congressional approval, because the department was already there.

We still enjoy using the fireplace, even though our home is heated.

Sounds like Elon is a good candidate for addict camp.

No I agree entirely. I think the ADL has Netanyahu’s best interests in mind and not really the best interests of the Jewish people.

I just wanted to make a sarcastic comment about them conflating being against genocide with anti-Semitism.

“Antisemitism!!” ~ Anti-Defamation League (probably)

And manipulating the budget.

Rhyming words with pitch. I was in 2nd grade. And I wasn’t trying to get away with saying bitch, it’s just a word that my parents used and it popped into my head.

Girl who sat next to me told.

There’s no list.

It’s evolving and folks can make up new ones that suit them whenever they like.

Hexbear has a fairly large list users can choose from. As the admins will add new pronouns for one person if requested.

And yeah, ki is badass. Not human centric and reminds us of our larger family of all life on this rock.

Language is evolving. Especially around pronouns. Might be better to ask what folks favorite new pronouns are.

I like ki. It’s the singular of kin.

Maybe this one judge is upset. As far as we know everything is going according to plan as far as the SC majority is concerned.

I think hackers are rewriting it as we speak. Unfortunately, they work for Elon.

15 years.

The time between losing my first child and having my second.

An individual can do very little.

Which is why we organize, strike, and practice solidarity, together.

If you want to help, look for left movements in your area. Food Not Bombs for example.

It’s almost like you’re not engaging in a political discussion. More like you are a bot programed to demonize Luigi and apologize for the CEOs.

But I think it’s your liberal brain worms rather than code. Either way…

Man read a book on that time period.

Those protests were not peaceful, a member of the business class almost got killed in his office.

And the national guard killed kids, women.

Striking and the threat of more striking is what happened not peaceful protests. And working folks died.
