Watching how fast congress is moving on passing laws that violate our constitutional rights, while they do absolutely nothing to make sure you have guaranteed housing, food, bridges that don’t collapse, and libraries should radicalize you if you weren’t there already.

If this was happening in China, it would be on the cover of everything under the headline “the return of Tiananmen Square” and western leaders would be calling for regime change

I know this is being normalized extremely quickly, but let’s take a step back, put political analysis aside, and think about how insane this is. Students across the country are being arrested by actual police for sitting on the lawns of their universities with tents and signs.

I saw a video on my timeline of people being paid to infiltrate the college protests to incite hate and chant anti-Semitic slogans. They call it “Astro-surfing” . At the end of the video the “organizer” tells that they will go back to the office for some refreshments . I can’t find this video . Can you please post in comments ?

White supremacy is when Sen. Mullin can comfortably post threats brandishing guns, but Rep. Tlaib is censured for demanding a ceasefire.

Celsa examines a ripe WA state cherry after a day of harvesting. This is how her hands look after a full day of hand-picking cherries. She earns $4.50 for a 22 lb bucket or 20 cents a pound. The high temperature in Grandview WA last Saturday was 103°. #WeFeedYou #CALOR

Has the U.S. atoned for slavery? No.

Ask yourself, why?

Rest in Peace Coach Jones 🕊️
He was one of the few real coaches I had in high school. A student of the game with a big heart and always showed up for us.

A really tough one to write. I learned about the passing of my friend and colleague Jason “Coffee” Jones. Coffee worked alongside me with the Atlantic City Blackjacks in 2019 as my color commentator during the AFL’s final season. We were quite the radio duo. There wasn’t a person who wasn’t infatuated by his presence, smile and energy. He was a perfect broadcast partner, we had too much fun. Coffee was a tremendous ambassador for arena football and a great broadcaster. Heck of a player too. Rest easy my friend. Until we meet again. ❤️

If you have not tried to use chat GPT or other AI language models (e.g. Bard or Bing) you are doing yourself and incredible disservice. These tools are indispensable and we’re only a few months into their development

@lowspro So awkward lmao

I’m at a hs grad rn and am reminded how schools constantly stratify students.

Honors, high honors, valedictorian, etc.

This continues in higher ed.
For ex. at my uni the way phds are positioned relative to EDD’s just doesn’t sit right by me.

Wait we still doin the pledge of allegiance in schools?
