Some places don’t even name the charity like you’re just donating to the corporation’s tax writeoff. You’re better off giving that money to a homeless person on the street who needs it more..

Nope, not in Baton Rouge, that’s for damn sure.

Boost this. Malicious fucking compliance y'all. Tie up their legal system with tens of thousands of cases. Burn their state government’s cash on this issue. Force them to play by the Nth degree of this idiotic rule.

Hitler was incompetent and lazy—and his Nazi government was an absolute clown show | Opinion

Why did the elites of Germany so consistently underestimate Hitler? Possibly because they weren’t actually wrong in their assessment of his competency—they just failed to realize that this wasn’t enough to stand in the way of his ambition.

Hmm, this sounds familiar, but I can’t quite put my finger on why…

Using black bodies huh? Sounds familiar.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Mass incarceration is voter suppression that has always targeted Black and Brown people. Which is why I’m NOT down for any “centrist” candidate who wants to call themselves a progressive now, but back in the day they went buck wild arresting masses and masses of Black people, especially for smoking marijuana.

Anyway….

Can you even begin to imagine how differently Southern states would be if prisoners could vote? How different AMERICA would be?

Pro life = life for white babies. Brown and black babies are out of luck.

These stories are deeply depressing.

“In truth, if you say you care about illegal immigration, your focus shouldn’t even be on the border. The number of people crossing into the United States from Mexico illegally has actually been falling for many years, going back to the Obama administration and earlier. The numbers are down by 90 percent since 2000, thanks to better policing and a better Mexican economy (thank you, NAFTA). Meanwhile, a full two-thirds of those who have joined the illegal workforce in recent years did not illegally cross the southern border at all: They entered the country legally and then overstayed their visas. More than 700,000 people are thought to have used this method of illegal immigration last year. Within that group, the largest number are Canadians, followed closely by Mexicans, Venezuelans, Colombians and Brits. No wall will stop these illegal workers, whose total number far exceeds the asylum seekers from Central America.”

The debate over Trump’s wall isn’t really about border security

Shitler’s wall is about racism, and that’s why his mouthbreathing cultists are so obsessed with it.

UBI is meaningless without rent control. And while some landlords specifically exist to exploit the poor (and thus disproportionately minority groups.) others will price their units specifically as a method of social gatekeeping to ensure that only the “Right People” are allowed in their neighborhood.  Both have exceptional reasons to raise the average price of their units by roughly ~2/3 to ¾ the average UBI payment after it went into effect. First because without rent control literally nothing stops them. Second because capitalism within the USA currently requires an exhausted workforce barely scraping by to control social movements, and to keep the convenience economy from suddenly losing a large portion of it’s customers. Simply put quality of life which could be guaranteed by UBI is directly bad for the capitalist economy which profits heavily from individual misery and fatigue. Fast food alone would have profits freefall in a world where everyone had the money, time, energy, and access to ingredients necessary to make healthy home-cooked meals on a regular basis. Landlords keeping rent high is crucial to the process, keeping people desperate simply for a place to live.

It’s not about abortion. It’s not about babies. It’s about control of women and their bodies. IMO.

                       !!!!!!!!! BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!

The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled former sex slave Cyntoia Brown MUST serve 51 years in prison before she is eligible for parole.

According to them:

“In today’s unanimous decision, the Tennessee Supreme Court explained that, under state law, a life sentence is a determinate sentence of 60 years,” the court wrote. “However, the sixty-year sentence can be reduced by up to 15 percent, or 9 years, by earning various sentence credits (good behavior. & getting involved in prison based education programs while incarcerated) Therefore, the Supreme Court concluded that a defendant serving a life sentence for a first-degree murder committed on or after July 1, 1995, may be eligible for release after serving at least 51 years of the sentence.“

For those of you who haven’t yet caught up to this story:

Cyntoia Brown was a 16 yr old girl, who at the time of the incident was living in a room at a Nashville InTown Suites with Allen (the man who propositioned her for sex) because her pimp and boyfriend Garion McGlothen, nick-named “Kut Throat,” insisted that she needed to earn money.

Kut Throat abused her physically and sexually throughout the approximately three week period in which she lived with him.

After Allen took her to his house, he showed Cyntoia multiple guns, including shotguns and rifles. Later in bed, as she described in court, he grabbed her violently by the genitals, his demeanor became threatening and, fearing for her life, she took a gun out of her purse and shot him.
