South American Illegal immigrant without passport welcomed into US and granted immediate visa. Where's his time in the camps, the deportation, the judicial hearings without lawyer or jury? Oh wait, he's white.

looking to take on a few of these! I make em for 100gbp each 🐻🐾

I guarantee you if you faced cartel violence or direct Nazi targetting, your ass would be undocumented in Canada as fast as your legs could move. Your lack of melanin doesn't make you more likely to observe arcane immigration law in the face of danger.

The line between the modern cop and the antebellum slave patrol is direct and uncurved.

Every Democrat who's run for state or fed office in my lifetime gets attacked with the most extreme strawmen the GOP can muster, and I'm reading the accusations feelin:

He died for a fundraiser

Ignore the rage bait and the trolls. Focus on what you love. Visualize the better world and share that vision with others. Don't be a pollyanna - you still gotta be aware, but engagement spreads the hate. They say evil, you counter with two goods: the good of today, and the better tomorrow.

Ad Astra, Walter Koenig. From star stuff, of star stuff, to star stuff.

Not only does skipping vaccinations not provide you superior protection to that disease, the resultant infection can make you susceptible to more preventable diseases you'd already built a protection to. hms.harvard.edu/news/inside-...

When it comes down to it, every voter is asking themselves the same thing at the ballot box: what's gonna change for the better? A party that wants to make everything worse versus a party whose latest president issued the credo "Nothing will fundamentally change" is alienating the electorate.

I live near a tourist area where folks like to cruise custom cars. Just heard across the holler a General Lee Dixie horn, but it was underpowered and off a few tons. Sounded so weak, so half-assed. I'm reminded of a favorite idiom: The South Has Fallen and It Can't Get Up.

Something I wish more people would realize.

Antifascists don't mourn the burning of a Hitler fortress. US Democrats would want to rebuild. US Republicans would want to re-fill it with its famed occupants.

Obergefell, Windsor, Romer v Evans, Lawrence v. Texas, Masterpiece Cake Shop, Bostock v. Clayton, Skrmetti, Chiles v Salazar, WV v. BPJ- all directly affected myself or someone I love. I have read dry court opinions with elation and sorrow. If you've never waited for SCOTUS to decide your fate...

Saw a store in the country politely decline American Express for an ATV rental. Logistically perfectly understandable. But I find it humorous that AmEx was neither express nor American enough

Gonna start posting selections from my comic because why not! #furry #webcomic #1960s #60s

If your govt, at any level, has a comission to help the unhoused, but there are still involuntarily unhoused people in their jurisdiction, they must answer why they have failed their mission. Remember: "The purpose is what it does." And if all they do is token help to assuage privileged guilt...

And don't give me that "access" crap. I have "access" to a Lexus LS400 but that doesn't mean I'll ever be able to actually get one without life-altering amounts of debt.

Malnourished children ensure another generation of brain-damaged and traumatized adults. Brains need plenty of nutrition to learn new things - without lunch, the child is less likely to learn regardless of "willpower" or "work ethic", but telling them its their fault can recreate trauma cycles

Is this how they won in 2024? 🤔

If America still held the spirit of 1773, those Russian diesel tankers would burn in New York Harbor.

Nobody will ever again willingly give up nuclear weapons. All the promises just have to be retorted: "Ask Crimea."

You're never too old to learn better and it's never too late to do the right thing. If a Klan Grand Dragon can become a pastor at a black church, you, yes YOU, can find redemption in doing the right thing.

Fun fact, completely unrelated. Civil Defense pamphlets my grandpa had from the 60s stated that it's best to stay in your shelter for 2 weeks after a nuclear war but under no circumstances, including fire, should you leave within 72 hours (three days). When authorities abdicate and don't specify..

Everyone I've ever met is guilty, and I'm betting everyone you met is too. I've never known a person who broke no law whatsoever. Speeding. Drinking underage. Buying soda off someone on SNAP so they can get soap. Not reporting a lotto win. The state targets enforcement. Forgive.

THIS. There is a straight line from the slavery and slave chasers to prisons and cops. There is a straight line from death marches and Indian Rez's to Manzanar to ICE. "If you're innocent you have nothing to worry about," is "If you want to stay free, fight back."

me & who?!

How do I feel about America? Listen to John Prine's "The Great Divide," then realize that the old whore is now a fent addict chasing evermore abusive sugar daddies.

A business has no mind, no spirit, and no biological body. It cannot be entrusted with the well-being of humans and it cannot be prioritized over the well-being of humans.

EA killed BioWare. I cannot think of any games they now have in development that I would give a penny for. Guess I'm an old fart now.
