grey alien lands in front of me and projects a series of glyphs obviously intended to represent the prime numbers, i jam my snub nose revolver into its neck and pull the trigger

Why is this tagged solar punk?

[blemgoid]

i know a lot of solarpunk traditionalists are uncomfortable with my inclusion of firearms in my grey alien posts. i understand that instinct. but enforcing boundaries sustainably sometimes calls for the proliferation and distribution of small arms, and i find it very unfair that you dont think my posts should be tagged solarpunk

The reflecting pool in DC was just redone in “American flag blue” at the request of Mr. Drump and the sealant on the bottom is already peeling off and the pool is now full of algae and surprise surprise the guy that owns the company that got contracted to do it was a major donor to his campaign and appears to know him personally.

Maybe you don’t personally care about the reflecting pool but this is just another example of corruption going on currently

bringing a sort of "slavery is still alive and well in US prisons" vibe to the office Juneteenth post that my higher ups don't really like

[hunter-gratzner]

From what I understand slavery was never actually abolished in the us. It is still legal and all.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

the amendment that "ended" slavery specifically left permission for slave labor as punishment for convinced criminals and our inmates have been legally exploited ever since, yes

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

not a bummer, say it louder

—Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico? Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico. —To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery. —Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento. —Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

Also, in the Mexican constitution, the first article mentions how slavery is prohibited in México and every enslaved person arriving here would be freed by virtue of being on Mexican soil, and protected by our laws
