So intersections are still 4-way stops as electric crews work through Tornado damaged areas.
Unfortunately drivers have lost their minds and refuse to obey he 4-way stop rules... with 8, 10, or more cars rolling through in one location... before any of the other 3 locations can participate in the 4-way cycle.
Please, #ablebodied#privileged people think people like me should just 'work harder'. Ya think your fucking spoiled kids could deal with #disabilities without your fucking bloody money??? SAY THAT SHIT TO MY FACE.
We are capable! We are human beings! We deserve human rights! We will fight for ours!
The heartbreaking self sacrifice by Aaron Bushnell has shook my entire family to our cores. Especially my Mom & big Auntie. Big Auntie was severely shook & is in hospital again because she suffered cardiac attack from hearing & seeing what happened. My big Auntie didn't witness Duc burning himself alive in Saigon because she was still working in ICU at hospital when it happened. My youngest Aunt & Uncle both witnessed multiple live suicides against USA before they were teens.
Don't fucking judge #SuicideBombers either, you fucking #privileged muthafuckas. You really think ppl want to kill themselves for no reason other than religion? You are fucked up in #colonial brains. Suicide bombers happened because no one fucking listened for years.
Stop #oppression & you'll see less suicide bombings. Fucking Western fidiots.
We're at a loss for words. A video circulating shows an elected MP - @wayne_long_sj@waynelongmp - confronting protestors who were just peacefully exercising their rights under the Canadian Charter. It's hard to fathom, but this isn't just any encounter. This MP singled out individuals, showering them with "Shame on you" accusations. And there's more; behind this MP, his secretary Jeanette Arsenault can be heard telling a person of color, "If you don't like Canada, go back to your home" – a disheartening sentiment that echoes xenophobic undertones. This is #Canada, where every voice has the right to be heard, not silenced and intimidated. It gets worse. Imagine, an MP allegedly doxxing a person of color – spreading dangerous misinformation, putting their safety at risk. That's not accountability; that's harassment. Now, take a moment. Imagine a Palestinian Muslim, a person who's already suffered unimaginable loss, with 55 family members killed in the ongoing war in Gaza, including 10 close cousins. That individual also faced this MP's baseless shaming and doxxing. This is about human respect, which seems to be forgotten here. This is unacceptable. The leader in question must be held answerable for these racist and irresponsible acts. These actions aren't just about the individual they target but about the larger picture they paint; they contribute to misleading narratives about the Palestinian community and their supporters in Canada.
Ein großer Teil der israelischen Bevölkerung ist weit davon entfernt, Netanjahus unflexiblen Anti-Zwei-Staaten-Strategien zuzustimmen. Tatsächlich betrachten ihn viele als die Ursache der aktuellen Katastrophe, die sich in Gaza immer noch ausweitet.
Jewish Israeli refugees get to feel #safe & they get #luxuries not given to ANY OTHER REFUGEES IN THE WORLD - at a repurposed #holiday#resort. Others are placed into hotels with all #amenities in Israel safe places, far from border.
My family & I had more of the Palestinian refugees style of lived horrors experience & not a fancy safe resort like place to flee to. We were always hungry & that's why we caught rats to eat.
Israeli refugees are getting, what most of us folks who have traumatic refugee lived experiences see as - #privileged & not available to the rest of desperate refugees, globally.
If you can't see the difference, you're choosing to not see it because it's not a small difference, it's a massive difference.
Tom Nichols gets it 90% right in his latest @TheAtlantic post: If democracy dies in the next several years, he says, blame Trump, his democracy-loathing cabal, the Republicans in general, and feckless voters who miss what's at stake.
But while he mentions the press, he doesn't assign nearly enough responsibility to its cowardice and willful refusal to a) recognize what's at stake and b) actively fight to save our system.
@jcrabapple The grandkids did Six Flags yesterday... next up, Ravens exhibition Saturday for all in the fam but me (#boycottNFL - I #TakeAKnee)... school right after. Where did the time go? Vacays are for the #privileged, so glad you are enjoying a little.
Kinda bad funny when middle aged white guys who enjoy spending $ at private golf courses(on unceded native lands) & other old white guys try to say astroturf helps us to save water & attract more wildlife 🤡 inform me that they're gonna block/mute me because I'm against both of those selfish, privileged things that harm natural environments.
Unfortunately for them, I enjoy being blocked by entitled #privileged old white dudes who aren't doing any #decolonization of their #colonized minds.
