BREAKING: A federal court has ruled Mississippi's state legislative maps must be redrawn to make sure that Black voters are fairly represented.

This is a win for voting rights.

@jcsturgeon @erikaishii @samreich 😂 That's like worrying "Oh what if this student is only studying hard to earn an A in the class." If the lessons are laid out properly the knowledge will last beyond the class. And if Dropout America doesn't honor their contracts they'll be in breech.

@HelenArmfield Oooh *hugs*. And then I remember why I quit only working for money: because it was literally going to kill me. I really hope you can find something more satisfying.

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents.

In its zeal to exact that revenge, however, the U.S. government overreacted, out of fear and bigotry. They targeted everyone who happened to look like the people who had carried out the attack. Those of us who had done nothing wrong were forced to pay the consequences for the decisions of others far away and disconnected from us. We were interned for years, in open-air prisons, while America went off to fight Japan, Germany and Italy.

It’s so important that we carry the lessons of the past through to today. Merely because one group commits atrocities and acts with depravity does not mean vast hundreds of thousands or even millions of others should be lumped together with them and made to suffer. We must never paint with the brush of justice and retaliation too broadly, or the toll of human suffering will rise immeasurably.

Marion Stokes was intelligent, aware and concerned. Opening with her video project makes sense given the poster but makes Ms Stokes sound a bit cuckoo. Oh no, she was the furthest thing from it.

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

This is Marion Stokes, a Philadelphia librarian who began taping whatever was on television from 1975 until her death in 2012. She made a total of 71,000 VHS and Betamax tapes, which is the most comprehensive collection of television during this era.

She was able to pay for her recordings and storage space by investing early in Apple stock. Although she had never sent a single email, she managed to convince her friends and family to purchase Apple stock. Towards the end of her life, she had made so much money that she was able to store her tapes in nine apartments she had purchased over the years.

According to film director Matt Wolf, Marion Stokes "was interested in access to information, documenting media, making sure people had the information they needed to make good decisions."

Due to her political activism in her early years, Stokes was convinced that the government was keeping surveillance on her every move, and she became extremely cautious about her recordings.

She had every right to be paranoid as she lived through the Philadelphia MOVE bombing in 1985, in which the FBI and Philadelphia police used a helicopter to drop bombs during an armed standoff with MOVE members. The bombs started a fire that eventually destroyed 61 houses and killed 11 people.

Her work is currently being digitized by the Internet Archive, a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.

@Wolven Shoot now I want to reset my gut biome just to see what it does to (typically janky) brain workings.
