THIS RIGHT HERE
You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.
I want to drill this into everybody’s head:
The United States of America has the highest prison population in the world
Black Americans and Latin people make up the majority of this population (many of whom are non-violent offenders)
Federal Prisons in America require that their state keeps their prisons at a maximum occupancy at all times.
The 13th amendment did not entirely abolish slavery…just one form of it. It remains legal through industrial prison system
Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated
Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.
If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.
Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.
This is why we need abolition, not reform.
yknow i’ve been hearing the whole “there is no war in ba sing se” for literally ten years and still I wasn’t prepared for how sinister the city is!
god i absolutely love what they did here because it just further emphasizes the importance the show places on balance.
the city is the stubborn steadfastness of earth taken to its awful extreme: rules are rigid, social position is unchangeable, authority is absolute. this is what unchecked earth looks like.
it’s the same with the other elements. unchecked, the passion and drive of fire becomes the fire nation’s horrifying forever-war imperialism, the community-focus and adaptability of water becomes Hama’s trauma-driven crusade against the whole fire nation. even the free-flowing nature of air, the way it can find its way around obstacles, becomes Aang’s difficulty with facing his problems and feelings head-on.
none of the elements are bad! the only bad is in locking yourself so much into one kind of thinking that you can’t see the wisdom in others! gosh what a great moral!

holy shit i just learned about the “proxy strike” tactic in france in which radicals blockade or occupy a workplace, allowing workers to strike without losing their wages. that’s brilliant, wow
How does that work, exactly?
if you and your coworkers say “we’re striking” and occupy your workplace, your boss won’t pay you, but if your friends and your coworkers’ friends occupy it for you, you say “sorry boss shit’s occupied” and you still get paid because you’re not the ones striking
the 5,528 people who have reblogged this post as of right now could probably paralyze a decent chunk of a city’s economy using this tactic lmao
okay so going from a two sun planet to a one sun planet is going to fuck with your perception of time right
angus almost! figures out everything bc the thb and the director get confused w months and years and hours more than a normal person would
like one day its getting late and taako is giving him a magic lesson and angus is like “sir, its almost midnight, can we continue this tomorrow?” and taako responds “what do you mean its 11:45, theres four more hours to midnight” and then he just pauses for a second and says “oh man i guess it is late”
merle never hides that he doesnt understand the one sun calender. but most of it is blamed on the fact that he is a old man. angus finds him on a nice sunny afternoon in a park or garden somewhere idk where he hangs out. merle tells him this weather reminds him of his birthday and angus asks if its coming up soon, and merle pauses and says “no, no my birthday is at the end of the year” and angus doesnt question it but he is curious as to how that makes sense if todays nice weather reminds merle of the dead of winter
magnus, hes human. he should understand how human age works. one day angus asks how old he is and magnus cant come up with a number, “twent- no umm. hold on. i was born,,, so, maybe still a teena- no that doesnt make sense. look angus my intelligence has never been very high, how am i supposed to keep track of these things” and angus is just baffled bc “but,,, its? your? age? how do you not remember?”
the director is the worse for it though bc she has no help from the voidfish telling her she doesnt know any other way of telling time. angus doesnt mean to be nosey but sometimes his eyes wander. and sometimes his eyes fall on some notes on the directors desk that describe how many hours are in a day, how many days are in a year, the names of the months, things a woman in her 50’s ought to know. but he does notice that sometimes when she asks him to visit at a certain time he catches her off guard, like she wasnt expecting him so early,,,
“prison is a death sentence for cops”
“police are targeted in jail”
“they’ll never be able to get a job again”
My new years resolution is to not get the plague
This is gonna be really offensive is another plague ever starts.
